Blue Gables - Where charm lives in the details and the good times come easy. Tucked into South Haven’s friendly south side, this freshly updated gem blends timeless character with all the creature comforts you need for a carefree getaway.
Inside, you’ll find warm hardwood floors, quaint built-ins, and a storybook staircase that makes even a walk upstairs feel like a little adventure. With four bedrooms and two full baths, Blue Gables is tailor-made for extended families or groups who love to spread out but still come together.
The main-level queen bedroom is tucked away just enough to offer peace and quiet - Ideal for grandparents or early risers. Right next door, a full bath with a walk-in shower keeps things convenient. Upstairs, two queen bedrooms offer cozy hideaways for adults or teens, while the bunk room is pure magic for the littles - Complete with a trundle bed and plenty of floor space for puzzles, giggles, and sleepy pillow talk.
Mornings here begin in the sunny dine-in kitchen, where fresh coffee meets the clink of breakfast plates. Whether you’re whipping up pancakes or uncorking a bottle from the built-in wine rack, the kitchen makes it easy to fuel the fun. A large central table invites everyone to gather for meals, card games, or planning the day’s adventures. And if work has to tag along, there’s a high-top workspace perfect for a quick email check or Zoom call before heading back into vacation mode.
Step outside and you’ll find a little slice of paradise - A lush garden patio where mornings start with birdsong and evenings wrap up with s’mores and laughter under the stars. Fire up the grill, pass around the lemonade (or rosé), and let the good vibes roll. The side yard is a great space for outdoor play, or just letting the kids burn off some energy while you sip and relax.
For the youngest travelers, we’ve stocked the house with helpful family gear: a high chair, booster seat, baby bath, toys, and puzzles - Making it easier for everyone to feel at home.
And when you’re ready for a bigger adventure, Kids Corner Park is just around the bend. With multilevel play structures, suspension bridges, curly slides, and secret passageways, it’s a playground made for imaginations to run free (and parents to catch a breather on the bench).
When it’s time to explore, Blue Gables puts you right in the heart of it all. Just three blocks from the lake, the shoreline beckons with wide-open beaches and golden hour sunsets that feel like something out of a postcard. Pack your wagon and spend the day lakeside, or meander to the bluff for an evening stroll as the sky lights up.
Downtown South Haven is a breezy six-block walk away, where local flavor meets small-town charm. You’ll stumble upon cozy cafés, wine-tasting rooms, and one-of-a-kind shops filled with everything from hand-poured candles to lake-ready gear. Craving something fresh? Swing by the farmers’ market to stock up on just-picked produce, local jams, and whatever inspires dinner back at Blue Gables.
Blue Gables isn’t just a place to stay - It’s a place to slow down, reconnect, and savor the little moments. And we think you’ll love every single one.
