Renovated cabin / beach access / 1+ acre of woods
Unwind at this fun family-friendly cabin in the Glenn Shores beach community. The house was lovingly renovated in 2021 including a brand new bathroom, kitchen, and outdoor shower. Located equidistant from downtown South Haven and Saugatuck, offering families a wealth of local attractions to explore. Nestled on over an acre of secluded property, this cabin is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy all that Southwest Michigan has to offer.
About the house: The house has two main structures - the main house and then a bonus bunk house (bedroom #2 pictured) which is about 15 yards away from the main house. The bunk house is only available seasonally (May - Sept).
Bunk House (Bedroom #2 pictured): The bunk house is a large space with a queen size bed, living area with a pull out couch (sheets and extra pillows available in the closet of the main house bedroom), large desk facing the woods, and its own deck. The bunk house is a perfect private space for a couple or for kids to stay and feel like they have their own space. The bunk house is only available seasonally (May - Sept) as it is not winterized.
Main House: The main house has the primary bedroom with a queen sized bed, a full kitchen, a full bathroom, a living room, dining area, wood burning fireplace, screened in porch, and large deck off the back. Details about each space below.
Kitchen: The kitchen is newly renovated and fully stocked with a retro refrigerator, full size electric range oven, farm house sink, and dish washer. All cooking utensils and spices you may need are provided as well as dish ware, pots and pans, microwave, and a Keurig coffee maker (Coffee and Tea K-cups provided).
Dining area: The dining area is just off the kitchen and includes a large built in bench and table that can seat six. It is a perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee.
Bathroom: The bathroom is newly renovated with a large glass shower, new vanity, and washer dryer. It is fully stocked with hair dryer, towels, toilet paper, and dove soap. Guests will need to bring their own toiletries (shampoo/conditioner).
Wood burning fireplace: The main house has a huge wood burning fireplace that is not functional at this time. We kindly ask that guests refrain from using it.
Screened in porch: The main house has a front screened in porch that seasonally includes a small bistro table and a sitting area perfect for enjoying morning coffee or an evening meal.
Bar area: The main house includes a small entryway/bar area which includes a cocktail shaker, wine opener, wine glasses, and copper mugs.
Outdoor shower: There is an outdoor shower off the bathroom of the main house. This is a great spot for washing off after a trip to the beach.
The yard: The houses sit on just over an acre of property which backs into what used to be an old golf course where there is a ton of wildlife (deer, turkey, an occasional fox) that can be seen trotting through. There are two decks on the property--one off the main house and one off the bunk house. The main house deck includes an outdoor seating area (available seasonally) and a gas grill. There is a fire pit and chairs in the back yard. Guests can help themselves to the firewood that is piled in the yard. A lighter can be found in the long drawer in the kitchen. There are a few yard games available for guests to use. These games can be found in the bin off the back deck.
Beach access: (seasonally) The Glenn Shores community has a water lookout point that is about a 5-7 minute walk from the house. This is a great spot to go watch the sunsets. The stairs to the water have been removed due to high water levels. The beach is an additional 5 minute walk from the lookout point. A community map is available in the guestbook. To drive down to the beach (4 min drive) you'll need to bring the key to unlock the beach gate. In the summer months, the key can be found attached to a small shovel on top of the microwave. The beach has picnic tables and a sandy area. It is a smaller beach due to higher water levels but usually guests can find a spot. Note, there are no lifeguards on duty.
Water toys: During the summer months, guests can access beach towels, floaties, life vests, and beach chairs. Beach towels can be found in the main house bathroom. All other items can be found in a large bin off the back deck.
Guest access Parking: The house has ample parking in front of the house (3+ cars). Guests can pull in next to the shed. Please do not pull in all the way to the house as the well is located there.
House access: Both the main house and the bunk house have keypad entry. The codes to each house will be provided via text before your stay. These codes are updated after each stay.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.
