Family Vacay

Trip was overall great! The property was nice and conveniently located. Beach was beautiful and not crowded. The only downsides were that all the windows in the upstairs bedroom didn’t have screens so we couldn’t open them on cool nights without bugs getting in! The grill was rusty, and there was construction happening right across the street.

Lovely Lake Cottage with Great Views

Rock House is a charming lake house on a large, water-front lot with beautiful views of Lake Michigan. The beach is down a bluff, where you take stairs or motorized trams, which were pretty cool. The beach is sandy and you can walk for a very long way, if interested. We had a great time and highly recommend the property.

Beautiful location just minutes from Downtown South Haven

We had our family at the house and all of us are adults. Wonderful view of lake from top of cliff. Sunets are worth planning for as well.The hosts make it real eady to access the private beach by using the member-only trams down the clift. We brought all of our beach gerar and paddles boards - no problem.The house has a very large great room that extends into the open-area kitchen. It was great cooking, playing games and hanging out.The outside deck is also a highlight. The propane grill was easy to use as well.We brought our labradoodle and he loved it as well. Nice fenced-in yard for him.Totally recommend this location and the hosts!!!

Excellent!

This home has everything you are looking for in a rental- we rented it for the large enclosed yard for our two dogs, privacy (lots of room between this home and the neighbors), within minutes of the beach (2 min walk and a tram ride down!), and the open floor plan. The home has everything you need- even a shower in the yard to get the sand off before heading inside. We enjoyed drinking our morning coffee on the spacious deck with incredible views of Lake Michigan and watching the sunset from the front of the home. It’s not often that homes this great are open to having pets join their families on getaways- we will most definitely be coming back!!

Nice, Peaceful Stay with a Lakeview

Beautiful home and well cared for! We enjoyed the lake view from the inside large open floor plan with lots of windows. Nico loved the large, beautiful enclosed back yard. It’s convenient to have 2 bathrooms too. It would be nice to come back in the warmer months to enjoy that long front porch. The owners were very accommodating and responded quickly. We visited all 3 restaurants they recommended. Great food! Highly recommend this home!!!

Great Winter Getaway with Pets

We enjoyed our weekend here. The hosts are great at communication, answering any questions we had very quickly. The furniture is comfortable and has a great layout. Everything we needed was there. We really appreciated having the wood and fire starters available! We also really appreciated the setup was pet friendly. The fenced in yard was a great advantage! It was close to town and I would love to come back and see it in the summer!

Amazing Getaway- pleasantly surprised!

This property is incredible. Literally perfect for my fiance and I and our 2 bigger pups. gorgeous view of the lake, easy access to a private beach, perfect balcony and backyard to enjoy with your pets. Place was super clean and had everything we could possibly need. Hosts were super responsive. We did not want to leave and wanted to extend! Hoping to come here every few months for a getaway. Didn’t get to explore the town because we loved the house so much! Highly recommend just don’t book it out over us!

Holiday weekend stay

Great quiet, pet friendly location for a holiday weekend. We had a little trouble finding the location as we arrived after dark so we turned on lakeview road and not beach road so we were confused. Once we found the property all was well. Amenities as described and kitchen was well stocked with all items to make a comfortable stay. We managed with one bathroom for 4 guests on this short weekend but might be a bit difficult with more people and longer stay. The owner did notify that a second bathroom is being renovated. Loved visiting South Haven their shops and the local markets for fresh produce and meats. Enjoyed lots of walks around the neighborhood. A lovely relaxing weekend. Thank you for sharing your home with our family.
