She makes sure everything is perfect!

Wonderful stay

The house was beautiful and very spacious. We loved the kitchen and dining room and the screened in porch. The neighborhood was perfect and quiet and the beach was very nice. The chairs provided for the neighborhood were also great to have. The house was very clean and and we were welcomed into the home by a greeter who was very kind and checked in on us during the week. We had a great stay and would definitely come back!

Perfect Vacation House

We had a fantastic week in South Haven! This lake home is impeccably clean, beautifully decorated and no detail is unforgotten! There is a lovely fire pit area with s’mores supplies and fire starter logs left for your use. The kitchen has every item you could ever need to cook. There are soft sheets on every bed and towels laid out for your use. The private beach is beautiful and the community is lovely. Thank you for a delightful week!

Perfection!

We had a fantastic week! Despite weather that wasn’t the best and air quality alerts from the Canadian fires, we had a lovely place to retreat to when Mother Nature wasn’t cooperative! We would highly recommend this home - it is beautiful with high-end everything! The beds are so comfortable with lovely bedding, the kitchen is gorgeous, the screened porches allow you to enjoy the outdoors without the bugs, and the private beach is just a few steps away! We can not say enough good things about this property!

Perfect location for families with little ones

Linda's property continues to be the perfect location for our group. We are 3 families who collectively have a 2, 3, 4, and 5 year old, so our priorities are little-kid-friendly aspects. The multi-level layout of the house allows us privacy for each family, with enough bedrooms for separate nap spaces, as well as adequate common space for when we just need the kids to pile onto the floor and watch Bluey for a second :) Kitchen was well stocked, rooms were clean, and Linda provided kid step stools, a travel crib, a high chair, and a beach wagon. Last year we stayed close to the rental, exploring the private beach and nearby creek, patronizing the SoHa farmer's market, and playing on the swing set in the backyard. This year, we made the quick drive over to Saugatuck to their fabulous public playground and cute shops, and also took a day to explore Holland (a very doable drive with young kids). Improvements to the house could include HVAC balancing, and perhaps blackout curtains. This was our second consecutive year here, and our group will happily return again if the opportunity arises!

Perfect family lodging

Our group was a three-family gathering that included a 4 yo, 3yo, 2yo, and 1yo. Linda’s property was perfect for our stage of life. The parents who were “nap trapped” had a gorgeous, comfortable home to relax in, and the private beach access meant it was both easy to get to the beach with toddlers (and all their gear), as well as private enough to easily keep track of the kids. We had plenty of space for a family in the basement level and two families upstairs with each family having access to at least one full bathroom. The kitchen was beautiful and well stocked, and we especially loved mornings on the large screened porch. Kids loved the playground and back yard, as well as the creek that empties into the lake a little ways down the beach. The adults loved the quick access to DeGrandChamps Blueberry Farm, South Beach and lighthouse, large town playgrounds, and Barden’s Farm Market, as well as the conventional Meijer and Walmart grocery stores. Linda was exceptionally welcoming and helpful, stocking the house with a kid wagon, life vests, high chair, and pack n play for our visit, and she very quickly addressed any questions we had throughout the week. Our group tries to pick a new state every year for our annual summer vacations, but everyone agreed it won’t be our last time at this rental.
