The Neighborhood:
Maple Woods Hideaway is tucked away in on a quiet wooded lot near Scott Creek in Lee Township, Michigan. Enjoy all four seasons in peaceful rural Michigan. Summer brings the fun of boating, swimming, picnicking, and relaxing. The autumn colors are spectacular around the lake and in the surrounding area. Spring brings the lovely colors of the flowers and leaves bursting to new life, invigorating your soul and mind after the long winter.

The cottage is 10-15 minutes away from Crane's Orchards and Dutch Farms, famous for delicious pies and fruit picking. On the way to the orchards is the Fennville Winery, offering tours and wine tastings. If you like antiquing, it does not get better than this - there are many antique stores within 20 minutes, either in South Haven, Allegan, Douglas and Saugatuck or along Blue Star Highway. In the summer dune rides are a blast and the South Haven beaches are gorgeous. Go fruit picking for cherries, blueberries, raspberries and apples in nearby orchards. Art galleries in the area offer wonderful selection to take home as souvenirs. Take your canoes and kayaks to different lakes and rivers - but don't forget your paddles and life-jackets!

The home is just over a mile away from Upper Scott Lake, a tranquil 99-acre spring-fed lake, where you will find your own private beach with dock and canoe.

Upper Scott Lake is only 15 minutes from downtown South Haven or Saugatuck, and just 25 minutes from Holland.

Getting Around:
You will definitely need a car to see the best that southwest Michigan has to offer.

TOP NOTCH Property!!!

I can't say enough about this property! The homeowners were very responsive to my (many!) questions prior to going. The property manager was also very responsive to my questions while we were there. She got back to me immediately each time. The home was very neat and clean. All of the rooms were exactly as pictured, there were no surprises. There were plenty of bathroom and kitchen supplies provided. The kitchen table was large enough to accommodate all of us for meals and board games (8 pp). The rec room was a huge hit which was no surprise. It was what attracted us to this home. But we didn't use it much because we spent most of our time at the dock. It was such a short drive that we could easily go back to the house to grab something quick or use the bathroom. The boys enjoyed fishing and there were many local options to purchase live bait. We pre-arranged for kayaks to be delivered. Everyone agreed that this was their favorite thing. The property itself has a huge yard so we were able to set-up our cornhole game. The pavilion and picnic table were shaded for our meals. The fire pit at the home was by far the best one that we've had at a VRBO home. It requires A LOT of wood because it's huge, and finding it locally was challenging, so plan ahead. Our only negative was the neighborhood, it was run down, but we never felt unsafe or concerned, and the home occupies so much property that you don't even notice that when you're there. GREAT RENTAL!!!

Comfortable home surrounded by unpleasant neighborhood and not on a lake

My family stayed here over Christmas weekend. The home very comfortably accommodated 6. The game room is very cool and was enjoyed by many. There are no real trails to walk and the lake is a drive from the home. The surrounding area/homes were rough.

Nice place

Nice place, overall. It was pretty much as the other reviewers have said. Lots of space for 7 adults and one child. The house was a bit difficult to find but the dock was easy to locate. The outdoor space was nice too. Saw some deer in the morning.The only negatives were that the mattress in the back bedroom needs replacing as it is pretty uncomfortable, and there was what looked and smelled like mold on the vanity in the bathroom inside the game room. We had to air it out and keep the bathroom door closed before spending time in there.

Privacy

Our family enjoyed our stay at the Maple Woods Hideaway. We loved so much about it and would like to share a few things. The kitchen was so spacious and had everything you would need to cook with down to crockpot, roasting pan, and not just 1 cutting board but several and we needed them. There was so much cupboard space for our food and that helped keep the counters clear. The supply of dishes and coffee cups were awesome and we never ran out of clean dishes with our large group. We all were able to seat around the big table and eat together. The hot tub was perfect temperature and the shower in the game room was great for rinsing off. Having the game room was a big plus and liked that it was detached from the house to keep noise level down inside house. We drove into South Haven and Saugatuck and visited a few wineries which were so close. I would defiantly stay here again if I wanted privacy and away from the towns.

Great house

The house was spacious, clean, and well stocked. We really enjoyed the lake and beach as well, it is a (very) small beach but great for our small kids. We fit three families in the house easily. Not far from Saugatuck or South Haven, so we spent time there as well. Only issue we had was a smoke alarm going off in the middle of the night (low batteries) and it took us a while to turn it off, and we did not receive new batteries the next day as requested. Otherwise the house manager was very responsive, and we overall enjoyed our time at the house.

Private, great features, close to Lake Michigan

We really loved the property! Private location with no neighbors on either side. Nice sized yard, very nice fire pit, outdoor hot tub, game room! It was perfect for adults and young kids. Got to see some wildlife in the yard (deer, toads, fireflies, etc.). About 20 min or so from Lake Michigan/South Haven and spent a day on the beach there. Great instructions about check in/out, rules, etc. Easy to get in communication with property managers. Loved it.

Nice place

We enjoyed our stay at the house. The kids loved spending time in the detached game room which was nice and quiet for the adults in the house. We enjoyed the firepit and the hot tob as well. The house was pretty clean when we arrived and the house manager was quick to respond to any questions we had. There was a ton of land around the house. Weather didn't turn out as nice as we hoped to be able to use the boats we rented, but house manager told us there was a resident snake you had to scare away before going in - totally turned us off to going there. We went to both Saugatak and South Haven - both about a 20 minute drive. Wish it was closer, but we booked late in the season. Overall a great stay.

Great place to make memories with big families.

Perfect for what we were looking to do. Going to South Haven beaches was our main objective and it was a quick 20 min drive. The fire pit and large outside area in back yard was perfect for the kids to play and eat s’mores. Every kitchen gadget needed was there along with the high chair and pack n play which came in handy! Game room and hot tub were used daily and enjoyed by the whole family. 3 and a half bathrooms were great and the xtra long kitchen table was great. I would recommend this house to others with bigger families. Only complaint is directions on driving apps have wrong street names so a lil tricky to find. Clean, peaceful, quaint property!

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth Kosten

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 the immediate area — 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 is designed for medium-sized groups and families who want to escape the mad rush of daily life and spend time growing closer to one another, all while experiencing the tranquility and enjoyment that "life in the country" 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 inspiring forest views from the dining & living areas, screened porch, and front deck will soothe and comfort you as much as they do us. We love creating welcoming spaces that draw you in with their cozy and charmingly-decorated rooms designed with great care, and our greatest desire is to see you return year after year so you can continually create new memories with those you love.
