Whether it’s you and your family, or you and your friends, we have a place that was designed to relax and recharge. Built in 2007, this craftsman bungalow has all the modern amenities, but with a homey nod to the past.
A long, winding driveway leads you through the woods to the house, which overlooks a pond for fishing, a grassy field for lawn games, and a fire pit for roasting marshmallows under the stars. Inside, an open floor plan lets you all be together while comfy bedrooms and an additional sitting room allow for downtime. In cooler months, hunker down by the wood-burning fireplace. Step outside to enjoy covered porches, a screened-in dining porch, grilling terrace, pergola, another fire pit, outdoor shower and walking trails.
Whether you bike, hike, swim, kayak, shop, antique, dine, gamble, golf, or just relax in the hammock, there’s always something to do in South Haven, MI. As a matter of fact, in April 2022, Cosmopolitan Magazine voted South Haven one of its top 30 American small towns, perfect for your next getaway. The only other Midwest town making this list is in the northern boundary waters of Minnesota. Like other guests who’ve found us, we’re sure you’ll want to return again and again.

The Land: This charming cottage, nestled in the woods of Michigan, is named for the various species of holly bushes grown on site. As you enter the private 20 acres, you are greeted by a park-like area, with flower beds and tree specimens. This area also features a fruit orchard, containing apples, peaches, and pears. The gravel driveway leads you through this open area into the woods, winding down a tree lined drive to the house, set back in the woods near the creek and stone's throw from the large fishing pond. Walking trails radiate out from the house and circle the property. Tucked away in the woods is a third fire pit, which is in the center of an area of campsites carved from the woods.
