Private Pool 5 Minutes From Lake Michigan

Secluded 6 Bedroom, 4.5 Bath Home 5 Minutes From Lake Michigan with heated, private pool. The pool will be open until 10/16/25. The 2026 season will open on May 8 and will close on Sept 27.



Located between the beach communities of South Haven and Saugatuck/Douglas, and the town of Fennville, 'Harvest Country' is home to wineries, art galleries, great dining, a ski area, bike trails, and multiple rivers and lakes for fishing and kayaking. Enjoy farmers markets, town festivals and the beach in the summer along with the gorgeous colors on display in the dense woods and rolling farmland in the fall.



House Rules: This property is not available for weddings, parties or high school/college events. The minimum age to rent the property is 27. No exceptions.



Stunning 6 bedroom, 4.5 bath Spanish Colonial style home in a park-like setting, perfect for families or groups.



At the end of a long, private driveway, this one-of-a-kind custom home is located in the middle of 15 wooded acres, surrounded by large tracts of land on all sides. The 3600sf two-story home with 2-car garage has three large living areas (two with fireplaces), beautiful views from all six bedrooms, two of which are on the main floor. The huge basement den features a 75" TV, large sectional, foosball and pool tables, as well as a wet bar and fireplace. The family room, which is open to the kitchen and dining areas, has a fireplace and 65" TV. The large updated kitchen features granite counters, custom tile backsplash, ultra-quiet dishwasher, French door refrigerator, electric cooktop/double oven, and opens on to the family room and dining room. An additional refrigerator is located in the laundry room behind the kitchen. YouTube TV and wireless internet included. Well behaved dogs are welcome. There is a $50 pet fee. Please let me know the breed and confirm that they are well-trained.



Summer Paradise: A heated, in-ground fenced pool is available to guests from early May through late September. The patio off the kitchen/dining/family room area includes a dining table for 10. Enjoy the fire pit and bird-watching in the back yard, outdoor games, all secluded in the middle of the woods but just a short drive to the beach and town. Just a 5 minute drive from the property are multiple winery tasting rooms, a golf course, a beachfront Lake Michigan park, and a pumpkin patch with hay rides for autumn guests. Within a 10 minute drive is South Haven, with its charming downtown, farmers market, public beaches and lively riverfront. Other nearby attractions include Saugatuck/Douglas, Fennville, wineries with tasting rooms, breweries, numerous golf courses, antique markets, you-pick orchards, lakes with boat and kayak rentals, hike and bike trails, and many dining options.



Winter Wonderland: Enjoy the views of snow on the evergreen trees in the winter. The house has two furnaces and two fireplaces, and is quite cozy and warm in the winter. The nearby Kal-Haven trail is great for cross country skiing. A short drive away are the Bittersweet and Timber Ridge ski areas, where guests can downhill ski and snowboard; lessons, rentals and daily lift tickets available. Downtown South Haven has an open-air ice skating rink, open daily - skate rentals available, as well as coffee and hot chocolate next door!



Guests have access to the entire house and garage. We are close by and available by email, text or phone, but will otherwise stay out of your way! This is a special property - a custom built Spanish Colonial home with private pool, 15 wooded acres with many hardwood, evergreen and flowering trees and a lush lawn, surrounded by larger tracts of farmland. It is very private and quiet, with amazing views of the night sky, but is just a short drive from many area attractions and the towns of South Haven, Fennville and Saugatuck/Douglas. Plenty of parking! Large driveway area in front of the house.



The pool will open for the 2025 season on May 9, and will close on Sept 22. After booking is confirmed, guest and host will execute a separate rental agreement. It is a standard contract that is required by my insurance company and shouldn't contain any surprises.

Absolutely fantastic property

The house was everything we needed and more! It was extremely charming and unique. The kitchen was well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. They have thought of all the little details that really make it feel like home. The property itself is in such a peaceful setting. Literally everything was perfect for our stay.

Best location and Pool!

These owners went well beyond having all the supplies for our stay we could ever need! The pool, ping-pong, pool table, foosball, cornhole, made our whole trip so enjoyable. Also, we were very close to the beach and the main downtown, which was absolutely adorable.

Perfect for our Crew

This house was perfect for a long weekend with friends including one 4 year old and one pup. It is large enough so people can do their own thing but also has great communal spaces for everyone to hang together. Close enough to town so it isn’t a trek but far enough away to feel secluded. The host could not have been nicer! Very happy we stayed here.

Summer Fun

The property is beautiful, with the pool and outdoor sitting areas as focal points. The house, although a bit dated, offered plenty of functional room for our family of 12. The house was clean and the property managers were very responsive and helpful. Overall, this was a great place for a family vacation.
