A Wonderful Escape
We really enjoyed our stay at The Icehouse. Everything was just as it was described. We used the kayaks and were enthralled by the swan family. This was a perfect place to enjoy the area including South Haven and Saugatuck.

Fun, Funky, unForgettable stay!
We loved spending time together at your unique and cozy cabin. The location was perfect for us attending a wedding together in Pullman. We loved getting to see the leaves change over the lake, take in some quality relaxation time in between festivities, and be surprised by the flat friend on the wall! ;) Two minutes up the street is a Mexican grocery/counter service restaurant which was DELICIOSO - we were excited to try Pizza Time, but were served lots of pizza at the rehearsal dinner -- next time! Thanks y'all!

Adorable cabin
The "Icehouse" was truly a lake cabin with vintage flare everywhere! Plan to be living rustic and "remote". Be sure to bring your groceries- the local community is very small and the grocery limited-the next nearest is about 15 miles from the cabin. Walked right out to the lake, very,very quiet location-water equipment was there and ready to use-grill and loads of seating for outdoors and indoors. We enjoyed our time when the weather permitted us to do outdoor activities or visit the surrounding locations. If you rely on wi-fi to do anything you will need a hot spot. The wi-fi was out for the most part. The tv has very few and only local channels - there were few games on site- we were glad we had brought cards and books with us. Overall our first several days were fun, peaceful and for the most part met out needs. We cut our stay short after four nights due to weather and no connectivity. The beds could stand to be updated but for a few nights were not bad. The owners were lovely people and are close by.

Trip up to see the fall colors
My husband and I lost our dog and hiking partner, unexpectedly. Lake MI was his favorite place to be, so we went up to celebrate his life. The owners left us a sweet card of condolences for our loss! It was very thoughtful and unexpected! The cottage and its view were both amazing! The street leading to the cottage was a bit creepy. But once you got to the cabin it was amazing! It rained pretty much the whole time we were there so we didnt get to enjoy the lake and kayaks that they provided. It would be great in the summer Im sure.

Perfect Quiet Retreat
Our family had a wonderful time staying at the icehouse. We really enjoyed kayaking, watching the beautiful swans, and stargazing by the fire. If you are looking for a place to recharge from a busy schedule, this is the place to go. Lovely nature and close to Saugatuck and Oval Beach. We were greeted with homemade cookies and muffins left on the kitchen table for us that were delicious.

My son and I stayed at the Ice House for 4 nights. Even after reading the great reviews, it was still better than I expected. From sun-up to sun-down every day, we had a wonderful time. The cottage and all of the amenities make it a perfect vacation spot. We look forward to staying there again!!!

Perfect Getaway!
We loved staying at the Icehouse. The house was right on Scott Lake and we enjoyed beautiful sunsets while our kids went out in the paddle boat or played off the dock. The kitchen was well-stocked with essentials and there was plenty of space for my family. It was close to both Saugatuck and South Haven when we wanted to be tourists (about 15 minutes from each). My husband left his sunglasses there, and Doug and Deborah found them and mailed them back to us. So kind!

Very peaceful and great for family time!
If you are looking for some peace and tranquility, then the Icehouse is for you. The Lake is a very quiet lake which is nice. My sons enjoyed the fishing and my daughter enjoyed kayaking. Make sure to get worms for fishing, wood from the local gas station and some pizza from Pizza Plus. The location is conveniently located for those intrested in going to the beach at either South Haven or Saugatuck. The host is excellent at communicating and answering any questions you may have. Overall, we had some good family time and ejoyed our stay.
