About this property

Expansive Lakefront Home with Private Dock

Summary:
Welcome to Swan Shores, a 7-bedroom, 4-bath ranch-style lakefront home offering the same inviting layout and amenities as Sunset Shores Lake House, Eagle's Nest, Heron's Landing, and Hawk's Haven. Take in stunning views of Upper Scott Lake from your private backyard beach or the expansive picture windows in the great room, complete with a kitchen, dining area, and cozy lounge. This retreat features a rec room, screened porch, deck with dining sets and a grill, a fire pit for evening gatherings, and a private dock with a canoe for lake adventures.

The Space:
Welcome to Swan Shores, a stunning 7-bedroom, 4-bath lakefront retreat built in 2019, nestled on the eastern shore of Upper Scott Lake. The spacious backyard invites you to enjoy lawn games, gather around the fire pit with seating, or relax on the private sandy beach complete with a dock and canoe. Inside, the airy great room steals the show with floor-to-ceiling lake views, a kitchen with island seating and a mini fridge, a cozy lounge area with a 55" TV, and a breakfast/game table for 4. Gather around the expansive dining table that seats the whole group! Step onto the lake-facing deck with outdoor seating, or retreat to the screened porch with a ceiling fan and an 8-piece dining set, ideal for rainy days. A gas grill is just outside, ready for summer cookouts. The rec room promises fun with pool, air hockey, and foosball tables, plus a comfy media lounge area with a 55" TV. Swan Shores is a perfect blend of relaxation and entertainment, designed for memorable lakefront gatherings.

Guest Access:
You will have access to the entire property, including the canoe onsite. Guests have the flexibility to gain convenient access to our home via the keypad entry system any time after the designated check-in time on their scheduled arrival date.
Check-in Time - 5:00 PM
Check-out Time - 11:00 AM

The Neighborhood:
Swan Shores is just one of our getaways here in Michigan! In spring, enjoy the vibrant blooms and greenery. Summer brings fun on the water—boating, swimming, and soaking up the sun. Fall allows for scenic walks through the nearby Allegan State Game Area or our own hiking paths in the area. And of course, winter offers skiing, snowmobiling, ice skating, and snow-filled fun.
We’re 10-15 minutes from Crane’s Orchards and Dutch Farms - amazing pies and fruit picking. Fenn Valley Winery offers tastings and tours. Antique lovers, the area has a treasure trove of stores in South Haven, Allegan, Douglas, and Saugatuck. Summer brings dune rides, South Haven & Saugatuck's beautiful beaches, biking trails, and fruit galore: cherries, blueberries, raspberries, and peaches.
Note: We aim to maintain a peaceful environment for all our guests and neighbors. Large, disruptive parties are not allowed.

Getting Around:
To explore all the amazing spots in Southwest Michigan, you’ll definitely need a car! We are conveniently located to coastal towns—just 15 minutes from downtown South Haven, 20 minutes from Saugatuck, and 25 minutes from Holland.
Please note: We currently don’t offer electric vehicle (EV) charging on-site. Attempting to charge an EV here damages our electrical system, any violations will incur a $400.00 fee plus any repair costs. Thank you for helping us keep things running smoothly!

Other Things to Note:
Wi-Fi internet is provided by AT&T, but they only offer limited speeds best suited to web browsing & checking email. More than a few connected devices at a time will cause lag. We provide satellite TV & DVD players for all our homes since video streaming is not an option.
Loud parties with excessive alcohol/drug use are not allowed. All drinking games are prohibited. Township-mandated quiet hours are from 10 PM-8 AM daily. We ask that nothing be stuck to our walls since this will damage the paint. You may not use tinsel, glitter, confetti, feathers, etc. during your stay since these leave a mess that is hard & time-consuming for our small staff to clean up.
No EV charging, smoking, fireworks, vaping, marijuana use, or pets/animals. No exceptions.
Note: Docks, Watercraft, Grill & Outdoor Dining Furniture Are Not Available Oct 25-Apr 15. This home closes for the winter after New Year's Eve until April 1.

Family Weekend.

Plenty of room, so nice to have so many bathrooms. The game room is awesome. Kitchen is plenty big. So nice to have a large table, it was perfect for our group. It is a bit noisy, everything echos to the other side of the house. Your range may need to be addressed. When we used it, it took 3 times longer to get done than normal. But it was fine. The kitchen drawers were not very clean, a lot of crumbs ect. Also, your cookie sheets were dirty. We definitely had a great time, the beds were very comfortable! Thank you!

Annual ladies retreat

Our group of 8 ladies thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at Swan Shores. The house was extremely clean and welcoming, nothing was amiss. The yard was freshly mowed and had periodic pickup of lake geese poo. The lake itself is lovely and very quiet. The local town of Pullman appears to have fallen on hard times and there is nothing of interest to see there; however, it was only 20 minutes to Saugatuck and South Haven for day trip adventures. We plan to come back next year!

Great family gathering place

We stayed here for a family gathering of 7 siblings and spouses. We had a great time. The building is designed for and perfect for 7 couples with 7 bedrooms, all with very close access to bathrooms. The house looks new inside and out, well equipped with quality appliances (even has 2 refrigerators which was a big plus), comfortable beds. Having the great room and rec room at opposite ends of the house is a benefit. Everything was spotlessly clean. Yard and small beach was nicely kept, no issues with goose droppings altho we did have to chase them away one morning. They didn't come back. Great view, especially at sunset. A very nice place to stay.

We could not have been more thrilled with our stay at this location and are already planning to return next year! We stayed here for a family trip with 8 adults and 6 kids between the ages of 3-9. The space was PERFECT! The home is clean, organized, and absolutely beautiful. We loved having the private beach in our backyard where our kids could splash around in shallow water and play in the sand. There was plenty of space in the home for us to enjoy meals together and run around and play. The game tables were great for both kids and adults! Beds were super comfy and we had everything we needed. The location is great, about 20 minutes from Saugatuck and South Haven. The fire pit at night was beautiful. This house is a gem- you won’t regret booking it!

Summer 2023

We had a good stay overall. We have been renting different properties for many years now, so we have a lot to compare this to. Every property has pros and cons. So here is the summary: Pros: House had plenty of space for everyone. Multiple bathrooms are a huge plus. The view is wonderful and the area is very quiet and relaxing. The lake is great. Fishing was ok. Game room was used daily and both kids and adults had a great time. Property Manager, Nicole, is very responsive and was there very quickly to address the issues we experienced. She is very friendly and helpful. Cons: The check in time is very late (5pm). When we arrived at 5, the house was not ready. Cleaning person was still there. We did not check in until 6, which did not leave much time to make dinner. The number of rules is overwhelming. While I understand the owner likely had a bad experience at some point, it was a big turn off. Maintenance on the house is lacking. The sliding door was very difficult to close all week. Even adults struggled with it. Eventually, the handle snapped off and we could not use it at all. The bigger problem was bugs. We took pictures and sent them to the owner. They were literally crawling up the wall and even got into some of our food. We had to throw quite a bit of food away. Nicole did come right away and put some poison down to kill them, but a better maintenance program is needed. Several beds were very uncomfortable and noisy. Pillows are super flat

Winter Get Away

The house accommodated 16 of us comfortably. The house was very clean, and the game room was enjoyed by my grandchildren. We have been family vacationing for 17 years. We had never seen a kitchen so well stocked! We loved the great room, and the large table accommodated us all. Our family loves winter activities. Skiing at Bittersweet, and next day tubing at Timberridge. Both places were only 30 min. from PullMan. We will definitely come back again.

Good for families

We stayed at this property last year, so this was our second time here. The house has the number of bedrooms and bathrooms we need and a good set-up for our large, extended family. The kids love the long hallway! There are plenty of dishes and even kid dishes, and they supply trash bags and some cleaning supplies. Unfortunately, we were not able to use one of the bathrooms due to a plumbing issue. The property manager was notified and someone came to take a look (which was appreciated), but we were told that although they knew about it, the place had been pretty consistently rented and they hadn't had a chance to get the plumber in, but he was coming after our stay. We were told there wasn't anything they could do right then but to close the door and turn on the fan. It would have been nice if they had offered us a small refund since we couldn't stand to use that bathroom due to the smell and it also stunk up the front of the house, but we were mostly in the back of the house anyway. The beds are pretty hard, but everything was clean and there were plenty of blankets. Bring your own can-opener if you need one. That safety one kicked our butt! Overall, nice place and the property manager was responsive.

Great property

This rental made our winter vacation easy and enjoyable. The snow was cleared on the parking area and front walk. It was a perfect place. We all had our own bedroom and bathroom. The washer and dryer was so handy to dry clothes after playing outside in the snow. The kitchen was well equipped for all our needs. It was a home away from home. Infinitely better than a hotel room and with 5 of us we would have had to rent two hotel rooms. The cost per night was comparable to the cost of two hotel rooms and with all the amenities this property provided, so much better than a hotel. Would definitely recommend this property for your vaction.

Rules are too much!

This property was fine with a couple of exceptions: 1) the rules were onerous - no check-in until 5 pm (which is after dark in western Michigan) unless you pay $50 per hour for earlier time, and penalty fees would apply with any late check-outs ($25 per 15-minute increments). I have never encountered anything like this before and we have rented plenty of places! The house was very large and clean, but the common areas had no soft surfaces or drapes of any kind, and as a result, the noise level was very problematic. It was difficult to carry on a conversation when many were present in this large room. Host was very responsive with all of my communications.

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth Kosten

Host profile image
I was raised in southwest Michigan, in the Grand Rapids area, and I have always reveled in the natural beauty to be found here in our Great Lakes State. I just love being near the water, so any chance I get to be near a lake is a perfect opportunity for me to relax and unwind. I hope you get to know our beautiful state when you stay with us, because to know it is to love it!

Why they chose this property

I was immediately drawn by the natural beauty of the lake and its environs — not to mention the extensive outdoor activities and peaceful surroundings. Since then, I have made it a priority to spend as many summer weekends in the area as I can.

What makes this property unique

This home was conceived and built specifically to cater to large groups and families who want to escape the mad rush of daily life and spend time growing closer to one another while experiencing all the tranquility and enjoyment that "life on the lake" has to offer. We have worked to provide a balance of comfort, functionality, charm, unity, and fun throughout our home and grounds. We even designed our outdoor spaces to provide maximum opportunities for gathering together to enjoy good meals and good conversation. We sincerely hope that the breathtaking lake views from the great room and lake-facing deck will inspire and astound you as much as they do us. We love creating welcoming spaces that draw you in with their charmingly-decorated rooms designed with great care, and our greatest desire is to see you return year after year so you can continually create memorable moments with those you love.
