Ann’s carriage house

Had a wonderful stay at this upstairs garage apartment. Ten minutes walk to the beach and a short ride to the trail that run through South Haven. This rental was perfect for a couple. Bed was comfy and the deck was a nice place to relax. This property had beach access and was great for watching the sunset. Bathroom was updated and great. Kitchen is small and simple but good for a simple meal. I cannot imagine a better place to relax and unwind in this quiet place. We loved it!

Perfect!

The carriage house was perfect for my husband and me. It is very private with a nice deck where we could sit outside and have a view of the lake. Our favorite spot was the short walk to the bluff overlooking the lake. We enjoyed going down the steps and sitting on the landing and watching the waves coming in. We would stay here again if we come back to South Haven. The apartment was immaculate and well-appointed for two people.

Spectacular with amazing views

We described it as a little slice of heaven. It was everything we could have asked for. The owners were great and we had everything we needed. Our favorite part was the little path that walked down by the lake and we set in those chairs about 75% of the time. Sunsets were just amazing. We will definitely be coming back !

A South Haven Treasure

Ann’s Cottage is a real gem. The cozy property is maintained meticulously and offers amenities many VRBO hosts don’t include. Sit back, relax and allow the lake breeze and sound of the waves calm your soul. The host is accommodating and friendly.

South Haven was heavenly

We had a terrific time in South Haven. The downtown and surrounding areas provided a lot to do. The most impressive and enjoyable part of our visit was the property. The apartment was really nice and the views of the lake were breathtaking. It was quite relaxing to be able to be so close to the lake and enjoy the relative quiet. The property owners are wonderful people too.

Peaceful Getaway

Our favorite feature of the property was the spot on the bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. It is just a 50 foot walk along a path to the best sunsets! The carriage house was cozy and comfortable with everything we needed. We walked into downtown and biked the city streets and trails. We'll definitely go back!

Short Getaway Vacation

Renting experience was very good and so were the communications. The accommodation was very quaint and comfortable with only two small exceptions; the shower, which was tight but got the job done anyway and the view to Lake Michigan was a bit more overgrown than what the current photo shows. However you can walk to the edge of the property and get a good view. All in all a very nice rental.

Anne's Carriage House

The property owner, Dianne, was very nice and helpful. The apt. was quaint and I loved sitting out on the deck. Town was about a mile away, which made it close enough for a nice walk. One think that concerned me......there was no door lock with a code, just a regular door lock. But I think other security measures were used. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful setting, peaceful charming!

This was a wonderful week. The setting was beautiful , very pretty yard and great view from our second story deck to Lake Michigan from which we enjoyed meals and a glass of wine and a quiet place to read. The location was within walking distance to all of South Haven and beautiful views. Everything exceeded our expectations. The carriage house was charming and exceptionally clean with many small amenities to make our stay comfortable. We would love to come back!
