  • Perfection!

    5/5

    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!

  • Wonderful stay

    5/5

    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 family lodging

    5/5

    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.

    Hi Kylie, Thank you so much for the lovely review. I am so thrilled to have young families come enjoy our cottage. I read your review to my college age daughter and she was thrilled that young children were back at our beloved home away from home discovering all the wonderful things that she enjoyed as a small child. It sounds like you experienced the magic with all of your dear friends and with their families while you were in South Haven. You were amazing guests, with incredible communication the entire time and always letting me know immediately about any issues that came up during your stay! I would love to have everyone return again whenever it fits into your busy schedules! You are always welcome to return, rest, relax and explore the joy of southwest Michigan at the Blue House Manor!

  • Perfect Vacation House

    5/5

    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!
