About this property
Inviting farmhouse for your family getaway, minutes from beaches. Pet friendly!
You'll love staying in the updated, and full of character, South Farm property. The 140-year old home sits on 2 acres that borders nearly 300 acres of the south tract of Wau-Ke-Na William Erby Smith Preserve, and is minutes to nearby beaches including the 1200-ft, dog-friendly beach at the north tract of Wau-Ke-Na William Erby Smith Preserve (just two miles north to the parking lot, then a short nature trail walk). The south preserve offers hiking/nature trails, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and birdwatching. South Farm is minutes from the crossroads of Glenn, MI, nearby farm stands and breweries, and is only 15 minutes from the large beaches and attractions in South Haven and Saugatuck (Douglas and Fennville too!). The property comes with all the comforts of home, a spacious outdoor patio, fire pit, grille, Level 2 EV charger, yard games, beach wagon and supplies - you'll enjoy relaxing all day long. The kids will love the bunk beds and separate upstairs bonus room, equipped with a 50-inch TV ready for streaming and gaming (bring your own system). We love our place and know you will too.

The house is bigger and better than what we thought. Great central location between Saugatuck and South Haven. It was a great stay enjoyed by young and old alike.
We really enjoyed everything about South Farm. The spacious kitchen to be able to cook breakfast and the occasional dinner, the outdoor patio, the fire pit, and the location was perfect for walks with the kids and the dogs. We were right in between South Haven and Saugatuck and really didn’t spend more than 20min in the car to get anywhere we were going. Would highly recommend!
If youre going to the South Haven/ Sagautuck area with a decent sized group this house is a great fit. Its so cute and in amazing condition. It's out of the way of the bigger cities, which are only like a 15 minute drive away) so its nice and quiet. The hosts were crazy responsive and we'll definitely be booking again if we ever go back!
South Farm is outstanding!! Clean, comfortable, well stocked, and an amazing location surrounded by wildlife! I could not have asked for a better experience. Zach was super helpful when there was one small issue, and it was resolved quickly. Communication and instructions were clear and easy, and the house is very well thought out. I hope to go back again soon!
We had a wonderful time staying at South Farm. The house was charming and the property was beautiful! The owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at home and ensured we had everything we could possibly need!
We had a great time at South Farm! Everything we could possibly need was provided, the antique charm mingled with the modern conveniences and finishes were exceptional, and the quiet country lane to walk down and view Lake Michigan was a special bonus. This home is lovely, is as you would expect from the pictures, and exceeds expectation. So much to enjoy in the area as well. We would love to come back again!
Our stay at South Farm was wonderful. Everyone was comfortable and there was plenty of room to relax and enjoy oneself either alone or en masse. The nearby beaches were beautiful and the neighborhood was as nice as could be. Great kitchen and cookout/eating patio space. Perfect place to get together with family.
South Farm is a lovely home, very comfortable, and the owners have everything needed. The patio and yard were great and the beds were very comfortable!
We enjoyed our stay! The house had everything we needed. The fireplace was very cozy and was perfect for relaxing by after a day of skiing/snowboarding at Bittersweet! We will definitely be back.
South Farm is a beautiful historic house and property. It is comfortable and well maintained and decorated. It is the perfect please for our family vacation. For us, that means grandparents, parents, and kiddos. The dog friendly beach is nearby as our hiking trails. The whole area has unique restaurants and other points of interest. We cooked at the house and sat around the campfire in the evenings. It was so wonderful. We highly recommend this place.
Our family has a great time at the farmhouse! Close to the beach and everything you could need was within a 15 minute drive. The property itself was gorgeous and the house was perfect for our family of 5 adults, 2 toddlers and 2 infants! Thank you!
South Farm is a lovely place to stay. Our family of three generations had a wonderful time enjoying the local towns, the beaches and hiking trails, and sitting around the fire at night. The house accommodated all 11 of us very well. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful time relaxing in this beautiful home. We cooked, played games and enjoyed the peaceful surroundings. The home is located far enough to feel like a get away but close enough to have access to restaurants, breweries and stores.
This was our second stay at South Farm. Just as lovely for the family as the last visit. Cozy living room where everyone could hang out and play games. Big kitchen and dining area. Plenty of sleeping spaces. Lots to do in the area — and the nearly empty beaches are beautiful for walking even on chilly Fall days. Love this place — we will be back.
