About this property

Family Friendly, Pet Friendly, quiet location close to town and Beaches



Nestled just off Monroe Boulevard, on the storied south side of South Haven, lies "Hidden Oasis," a charming four-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage. A canopy of trees shades the drive leading to this secluded retreat. The property boasts a wooded lot, perfect for exploration and family gatherings around the fire pit. Unwind on any of the three decks and bask in the tranquil lake sounds.

The cottage features a modern, open interior with a combined kitchen, living, and dining area. The kitchen is well-appointed with a large island that seats four, complemented by a spacious dining table seating eight.

All living spaces, including the four bedrooms and two bathrooms, are conveniently located on the main floor. The master bedroom comes with a king-sized bed and an en-suite bathroom. Both the second and third bedrooms are furnished with queen-sized beds, ample dressers, and closets. The fourth bedroom, designed for children or as a "bunk room," features a custom-built twin-over-twin bunk bed and a full-sized bed.

For breathtaking sunset views, stroll to the end of 3rd Street to the neighborhood association's viewing deck.
A short 3-minute drive away via Monroe Boulevard you will discover Kids Corner Park and the iconic Blue Stairs, leading to the stunning shores of Lake Michigan. The Van Buren Trail, a broad paved path, offers a scenic route to Van Buren State Park or downtown South Haven.

Please be aware that the house does not provide direct beach access. The areas adjacent to the viewing deck are restricted.

Perfect Girl's weekend!

The property was great! Scenic overlook down the road, clean, updated, comfortable beds, open floor plan and nice outdoor spaces. Wonderful that there are bikes and beach chairs to use to get around! Would definitely go back!

Just the right setting

The property is clean and spacious with the feel of being secluded, even from the private road entrance you will feel like your away from everything but yet your just a few minutes from it all. My nephew even proposed to his girlfriend from the deck overlooking the lake just down the lane from the house so beautiful!!

Quiet Location

Great, quiet location. Large home with open floor plan. 2 large bathrooms. Master shower doesn’t drain well. Tons of outdoor and indoor seating. Wish the lookout had stairs down to water. Highly suggest getting the exterior treated for pests. Spider haven. Definitely recommend for large families.

About the host

Hosted by Brigitte Buthman

Host profile image
My husband John and I have been blessed with a big family and he has been coming to South Haven since his childhood. We both love to travel and meet new people.

Why they chose this property

We love the feel and location of Hidden Oasis. There is plenty of area to entertain inside and everybody gets to have their own space! We love the tree lined street and that we are able to watch the sunset every day from the bluff deck.

What makes this property unique

The house is wonderful as although we are so close to town, we also get to hear the birds and sounds of the lake at the same time. We have plenty of parking on our property which is also a bonus.
