I had a wonderful stay on Fish Lake in this beautiful cottage. I needed some time to be quiet and rest. It was the perfect place for what I needed! I will be back for sure!
We had a wonderful late Spring stay at the lake house with our family of 4. The house was exactly what we wanted for our family and had everything we could have needed. House was in pristine condition! We enjoyed our time and can’t wait to stay again. Dennis was responsive and had great local recommendations for places to visit. Perfect location between Kalamazoo and South Haven.
We really enjoyed our stay at your lake house. The house was beautiful. Everything was as listed and very clean. Owner was very timely and accommodating. I would definitely recommend your property.
Had a great long weekend here with the family. The house was updated and well-done. Nice backyard and sand area for the kids to play. Close enough to the city, but felt further away and a very quiet lake.
We enjoyed our long weekend stay. It was the perfect size for the four of us, and we loved being able to walk out back and get into the lake. The water was very clean, and perfect for swimming, fishing and kayaking. We made use of the grill, fire pit and laundry. We spent one day in South Haven, and I would highly recommend that. The homeowner was super friendly and always just a text or call away.
This is the perfect house and location for a peaceful getaway to relax and enjoy nature. The lake is only developed on one half, making for the most picturesque view. Lake traffic is primarily anglers and paddlers. All had a ton of fun fishing off the dock or from the host’s kayak, and playing in the sand. The home is clean, updated and better appointed than most VRBO homes we’ve stayed at. The host was extremely welcoming and informative, and his attention to detail in communication prior to and during our trip made us feel very comfortable. We hope to return and recommend it highly.
Dennis was MORE than accommodating with us . He reached out and sent multiple texts with great ideas of things to do in the surrounding area. However, this property had everything we needed so we stayed lakeside the entire trip. Neighbors were very friendly as well and even shared some lake toys for our littles to use. We really enjoyed our trip and felt it was perfect for our family. Thank you so much !!
The property was exactly as it was in the pictures. My family (2 adults & 18 month old) needed a long weekend away to unwind and spend some quality family time and that's exactly what happened :D The home was clean and all necessities were supplied as listed. We made a lot of delicious family meals and made some good memories. We've sent the link to this house out to close friends and family telling them to stay here if they need a weekend away that's not too far. Would 100% recommend :D
First off, we went in November. So we didn't utilize the lake, but it was so incredibly peaceful to look at anyway. The house is so cute. The owner was very available and kind. We didn't have good cell service, but the wifi helped in that matter. We loved our stay and recommend this property!!
Dennis was a pleasure to deal with. He made the check-in process very easy and was very responsive to my questions. The house was exceptionally clean and conveniently located. The neighbors treated us like close friends rather than neighbors. Cannot wait to stay there again next summer and definitely plan on booking a longer stay now that I know how great the property is. Thank you Dennis for everything!
The home is as beautiful as the pictures. It is close to neighbors but they could not have been nicer. The kids loved playing on the beach. Would stay again
We loved having this spot to return to throughout a busy weekend. Easy access to Kalamazoo but a very peaceful stay. We will return another time to enjoy the spot more.
My husband and I stayed at this property for a weekend getaway to celebrate our anniversary. The property owner helped make this trip super easy and very enjoyable - he called us the day before to make sure we had all the details needed and asked if we had any questions, he gave additional info to ensure we had a great stay and was overall very hospitable. Upon arrival, the place was extremely clean, exactly as described, and perfect for what we were looking for - a secluded, relaxing getaway. The weather wasn't the best during our stay so we weren't able to fully take advantage of all the things the place had to offer (fire pit, paddle boat/kayak, etc.) however it was great to have as options. I would definitely stay here again!
We had a great time! Dennis was very easy to communicate with-we were in contact via the VRBO messaging service and via phone when going over the remaining few details as we approached the visit. The cottage was gorgeous! Fall colors were just turning. The lake is private but easy to fish! We caught plenty just from the kayak & paddleboat, including a few bass and a snapping turtle! Would definitely rent again with Dennis.
Our family (mom, dad, and 2 toddlers) enjoyed a relaxing mid-week stay at this lake house. Everything was as listed and communicated. Dennis was very communicative, welcoming, and hospitable. We enjoyed the small beach area, dock, paddle boat, and the fish that visited us near the shore. The house was very comfortable. We were very pleased and would go back again.
My family of five visited for a quick visit and enjoyed this tranquil lake and home. Dennis was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had about the home and area.

Beautiful home with a great backyard.
We stayed for a weekend. There was 2 couples and kids. The house was perfect for us. There was plenty of space for all. The house was updated, clean, and equipped with everything you need. The backyard was spacious with a deck, fire pit, and right in the water with a dock. Dennis was very helpful and easy to get ahold of. We would highly recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Dennis Suroviak
Our family would like to welcome you to our family cottage. We currently use our cottage to get away from the big city hustle and bustle and would like to share its peace and quiet as well as our love for this area with guests. Our family of 4 make many memories here and enjoy the peace and quiet along with all the nature that the lake attracts.
Why they chose this property
Our Family has just recently purchased this cottage but have been visiting the area for the past 10 years as we had another cottage in this area that we sold to buy this one. We bought this cottage for its great location. Its located on Fish Lake and is very secluded. We have been coming to this area for the fun summer lake activities including this lake as well as traveling the short trip to Downtown South Haven and Lake Michigan. The Cottage is also used in the winter as the Kal-Haven Trail is a short drive down the street for snowmobiling, cross country skiing and hiking. Timber Ridge Ski Lodge is also a short 10 minute drive by car or snowmobile.
What makes this property unique
We love our cottage just simply because of how peaceful and quiet it is. Sitting on the rear deck that overlooks the lake is such a stress reliever. The cottage is secluded on a private road with very little traffic and only a few houses on the lake.
