Lake House -1 block from Lake Michigan Sunsets

2 Bedrooms, 1 Bathrooms, Sleeps 6

This updated cozy cottage is one block from Lake Michigan. Located only 5 minutes north of South Haven and 20 mins south of Saugatuck/Douglas.

At the Hygge Cottage you're a short walk from catching spectacular sunsets. Located on a quiet block the home offers a nice sized backyard for activities, grilling, and two patios for outdoor dining / morning coffee.

Located only a 2 minute drive from Cogdal Winery and Hawkshead Golf Course. When you are ready to visit the surrounding area, take Blue Star north and hit the farmers markets, galleries and downtown shops in Saugatuck/Douglas or head south to South Haven for amazing restaurants, boat rentals, and public parks and beaches.

Whether you are looking for lots of activities or a quiet peaceful getaway, The Hygge Lake Cottage offers the best of both worlds.

* One block away from Lake Michigan cliff. Due to erosion, there is no direct access ( stairs or tram) to the shoreline at the end of the block. We are short drive to lovely public beach access. The cliff provides great sunset / sunrise views.

Home is only 1 hour away from Notre Dame.

Cutest Cottage

This is our third time staying at this cottage because it couldn’t be more perfect! All needs are accommodated for. We especially love the short walk to the beach and being just 8 minutes away from South Haven.

MI Visit

My boys and I stayed two nights at the lake cottage. It was perfect for us. Located less than 10 minutes from the beaches, and from South Haven itself, we spent the days swimming and then went into town for meals. It was a great stop to relax and unwind on our way home. The cabin was great for us; plenty of space, very clean, short walk to the shoreline. Very highly recommended for location, quality of the property, and fantastic communication from and with the manager.

This property was adorable, i loved all the flowers, herbs and succulents. I stayed with 4 kids and two adults. We played games that were available in the house. We had a cozy little fire on our lastnight, and walked down to the cliff. This place was close to a bunch of shops and boat rentals. A couple grocery stores near by so we were able to cook. Would absolutely stay here again!

Delightful home near Lake Michigan

This darling vacation home offers all that was advertised. Fabulous kitchen with eating area, 2 good sized bedrooms, lovely bath plus open living room w/ large Roku T.V.. I highly recommend this very pleasantly decorated home with loads of amenities! Plus, it is probably the cleanest rental in which I’ve ever stayed.

Great house, perfect location!

The house was the perfect size for our family of 4. Very clean and even cuter in person! Communications were clear and we had no issues whatsoever. The location is really great, it feels secluded but is so close to South Haven and an easy drive to spend time in Saugatuck. After a day at North Beach in South Haven it was just a quick drive back to the house to shower and change and head back to town for dinner (Three Blondes is a favorite). Close proximity to the house meant not having to rinse off sand and change clothes in the bathrooms at the beach - and that made everyone happy! Thanks for a great stay, we’ll definitely be back!

Cottage Getaway

Adorable and very clean little cottage provided ample indoor space for 3 adults. Open floor plan allowed us to engage and gather for breakfast. The bedrooms and bathroom are down a short hall for privacy. Kitchen is equipped for light cooking. Host thought ahead to provide items like coffee and tea, comfortable beds and plenty of towels to welcome us and make our stay pleasant. We did not have time to use the fire pit or outdoor decks this stay. Would definitely stay again if given the opportunity.

Great retreat location

This cottage was completely adorable and SO clean! The pictures on VRBO don't do it justice. The decor had a natural (loved the live plants!) and soothing feel. The area was very quiet and perfect for my solo retreat. It's also a very short drive to Kal-Haven trail, which was a delight. I plan to rent this again as this is one of the nicest VRBOs I've stayed in.

Cozy beach vibe cottage which is perfect for a couple or small family to get away from the hustle and bustle. Decently private, quiet enough, and plenty of nature to listen to as well. Lots of restaurants and hikes nearby for pure vacation enjoyment! And Property Manager did great communication throughout!
