Girls Fall Weekend Getaway!

Cora’s home accommodated our group of 7 ladies beautifully for a much needed weekend getaway! Sleeping accommodations were great! House was very clean and comfortable and we loved that the kitchen table was large enough for all of us to sit around to play games and cards. We also loved how you could walk to Lake Michigan, and downtown (even though we chose to drive-(we are all in our 60s and the knees aren’t as great as they used to be!). We had a wonderful time! The weather was amazing, the fall colors were brilliant, and the sunsets over Lake Michigan were spectacular! Cora was a wonderful and accommodating host! Would definitely return!

Comfortable Stay

We had an enjoyable time at this property. There was plenty of space(5 adults, 3 littles), it was well-stocked and comfortable, and close enough to the playground and beach for memorable walks each day. Cora and her husband were responded quickly to a minor issue and all was well. We loved South Haven —such a great family setting! For

This is our 4th time staying at Cora’s house and we will definitely be back. We love this house for the location, the quiet street, the space and the beach amenities provided. South Haven is a wonderful town and we love being so close to the park, beach, trails and the town. Thanks again for an amazing vacation!

Beautiful home and great location

This home is absolutely beautiful! Very clean and well maintained. It had everything you’d need (except a blow dryer and bath soap). The decks (yes, 2 decks) were so nice to sit on in the evenings. There is a nicely finished basement. The lake is just a short walk from the house along with a very nice park for kids. I would definitely stay here again!!

Great family vacation home in South Haven

Beautiful, clean house, great location, well working appliances, good supply of towels, beach chairs, kitchen stuff. Cora is great and flexible host with fast response. Unique house with collection of more than 50 images of light houses inside of it - I would call it “Lighthouse” house.

South Haven neighborhood

We enjoyed this house. It had a great deck for outdoor entertainment and the house was extremely clean and updated. I a bathroom on the bottom level. Is needed. Also, the bottom level was extremely cold temperature wise. There was no thermostat in the area to adjust the temperature down there. The house had everything we I needed as far as supplies. I would stay there again, but with less people.

Close to the beach

The house was very clean and close to Kids Corner playground/Lake Michigan. Cora was very responsive when I reached out. We found the mattresses to be too firm for our liking. Orherwise, we enjoyed our stay at this property.

Great location

Great place for a family- walking distance to playground and beach which was so nice to go back and forth. Nice to have an outside porch, grill, and fenced in yard. Master bed and pillows weren’t very comfortable and not very stocked (laundry soap, soap for shower). Overall, we’d recommend it for a family and we had a great time.

Loved it trip to South Haven!!!

This was our 4th time staying at Cora’s home and I’m sure we’ll be back again. The location to the beach, City and bike trails is perfect! Plenty of room for our family and everything was exactly as expected with the home. We love that beach towels, toys, chairs and they carry at all provided at the house. Makes it so much easier to get everything to and from the beach without having to drive it over. The house is an easy 5 minute walk to the beach and 10 minute walk to town. We love to bring our bikes and ride to town since there are plenty of place to park bikes. Thank you for opening your home to us. We will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Cora

Host profile image
We live in Michigan and are retired. I spent a portion of my career working on Lake Michigan studying water quality and fish populations. I love the big lake! We both love the outdoors, bicycling and hiking, especially.

Why they chose this property

We really love all the natural light that comes into the house, the fenced yard and beautiful deck. The house is so close to Lake Michigan, the Kal-Haven trail and downtown. South Haven has so much to offer as a relaxing place to vacation.
