Great visit! The house had everything we needed and the family of 12 was very comfortable. 20 minutes from Saugatuck and South Haven made it a great central spot to stay.
This cottage is located on a very tranquil lake and hosted our family of 3 generstions with 6 adults & 4 kids, with room to spare. It is perfectly located between South Haven & Saigatuck, making it so easy for venturing to either town. The lake is a little mucky, once you get past knee deep, but is shallow, making it perfect for young kids. The open concept of kitchen dining and family was perfect for hanging out with beautiful views out to the lake. The master bath and shower are tiny, but didnât bother us. Place was clean and beds were extremely comfortable. They even had a separate snack drawer for kids & separate drink fridge (very handy) and huge dining table to accommodate all of us. The views are amazing st sunset, especially with a bonfire and drink/smore to top off the end of the day.
We had a great stay with our group of 10 friends. The access to the lake was great even though the weather wasn't on our side. Location was a bit further from other attractions than we anticipated but it was located between South Haven & Douglas/Saugatuck so we were able to visit both during our trip. Plenty of rooms and bathrooms for everyone to spread out. We couldn't find the remote during our stay but didn't end up using the TV much anyway. Communication with the host beforehand was great, answered all our questions and suggested things to do in the area. Great find for a Southwest MI getaway!
We rented the property to host a weekend leadership retreat for our church leaders. The property was clean and had everything we needed to be comfortable. We reallly appreciated our stay and the sun set over the lake was beautiful.
My friends and I chose this Vrbo for our annual retreat in a remote location and this served us well! Very spacious (we made it work for 12 young adults), the property management team was very efficient and proactive with their communication (they answered all questions), the check-in/out process was smooth, and the lake that the property was off of was beautiful.Though this is likely a more desirable place for a family summer vacation, my group and I had a great time. I would recommend this Vrbo for anyone looking for a place to stay in Pullman/South Haven.
Kitchen is well appointed and easy to cook meals for a large gathering. Beds are very comfortable. Great place for family get togethers. Second time we've been to their properties and will do it again.
This property was perfect for our annual Cousin gathering. We made wonderful memories at this house. All bedrooms were very comfortable and spotless. The house had everything we could possibly need or want. Close to many different coastal towns for day trips. The property's staff and local contact were great in answering any of our questions.
Communication with the owner was great from beginning to end. The property is beautiful, inside and out. My friends and I celebrated our 50th birthdays and we couldnât have asked for more.
Owner was very helpful, easy to work with. We enjoyed the large living space, very open and bright. Well stocked kitchen for cooking. Enjoyed the water for fishing, canoeing, and kayaking. Fire pit was super. Overall everything was great!
This lake house exceeded our expectations. Perfect place for our family to enjoy time together in the open kitchen and living space. Nice deck, yard and fire pit. The lake was very clean and shallow enough for kids to play. The house is equipped with everything you might need during your stay. It was nice to have enough bedrooms and bathrooms for our family of 6 adults and 3 children. There was good communication with owner and property manager. We hope to return.
Plenty of space. Loved how the bedrooms were
down one hallway. The kitchen and living room all one open space. We had plenty of room to craft and play games in the long table. Everything in one floor. Plenty of bathrooms for 14 women.
Totally ideal. Beautiful colors on the trees. Perfect weekend. Awesome
Hosts.
We loved staying here! The house is perfectly set up for myself and my family, my brother and his, and my sister and hers. We had 7 adults and 6 kids very comfortably situated. The only thing i could ask for the house didnt have wasa game room or second living room. The lake was very peaceful and you dint have to worry about thenyounger kids going to deep as the lake is very sandy and shallow. Caught many sunfish and largemouth bass off the dock and canoe. Watch out for the swans and geese! Having the small fence to roll out came in handy. Thanks for a great stay!
4 families with multiple children stayed and played at the Sunset Beach house. Plenty of rooms to house everyone comfortably and space to spread out. Kitchens and bathrooms really well stocked, best weâve seen at any other rental we have been at before. We cooked and grilled multiple meals. Stove had a bit trouble keeping up with maintaining heat with multiple burners running at the same time but, everything eventually got cooked. Beach was a great soft sand and shallow for the kids to play at safely. Had a wonderful time and would recommend for your next vacation.
My group had a great time. Everything was clean and comfortable. It rained the entire time that we were there. However, we were able to capture the most beautiful rainbows and Swan passings ever. The check in process was easy, The kitchen provided everything we needed, and the spaciousness allowed everyone to feel at home. We appreciated the written instuctions on how to use various equipment. One of the best homes we've visited. It's a hidden gem.
Had a great week with the family. The house was great and was well stocked.
The fence used to keep the geese out of the yard was a bit odd and annoying to have to take down to access the dock/lake.
It was nice to have the kayak but it would have been nice to have a pontoon available.
It was also a bit weird to have strangers wandering the yard every day scooping poop. Especially the guy who was complaining constantly while doing it as we sat on the front porch trying to read.
Overall, the trip was great and the house was nice.
I love helping people find the perfect vacation rental for their needs, and I've been managing this growing group of homes in southwest Michigan since 2011. As a lover of the water and the natural beauty Michigan has in abundance, I hope that the folks who stay in our homes come to appreciate the area as much as we do.
The owners fell in love with southwest Michigan on a trip to visit friends in South Haven nearly 15 years ago. As Chicago natives, they were immediately enchanted by the serene atmosphere and natural beauty â not to mention the extensive outdoor activities. Since then, they have embraced the tradition of spending holidays and summer weekends in the area, and it was only a matter of time before they decided to find a vacation home of our own.
They discovered their first gorgeous property on Upper Scott Lake in Lee Township over ten years ago. They began renting the cottage there out of a desire to share their wonderful experiences there with others. Now with three additional rental properties, they love offering a simple countryside alternative to busy city life.
The Upper Scott Lakefront and nearby Lee Township, MI, are part of a quiet community where many vacationers return year after year to enjoy the lovely seasonal changes, as well as fishing, cycling, water sports, and golf. Sunset Shores Lake House is one of just a few comfortable and spacious vacation homes gathered on the shores of Upper Scott Lake, giving the area a quiet and close-knit feel. The dazzling sunsets and stunning lake view make for a nature-lover's dream!
