This is a fantastic home for families--it was perfect for our crew of five. The location is ideal. You can see the lake from the side yard, and it's just one block to a wonderful playground. The house is cute, clean, with a great beach-y vibe. The porch is fantastic; it is shady with lots of comfy seating. And the kitchen was the best stocked rental I've ever been to. All of the basics are there--coffee, cooking oil, spices, and the utensils and pots/pans, etc. were like-new and of good quality. If I had a question, it was answered within moments. Great stay.

We enjoyed a short, 5-day stay here early in the season. The accommodations were clean and well located; the only shortcoming was in the size and location of the bathrooms. Supplies were adequate and so were towels and linens.

Great location

Very nice cottage. Quaint and close (2blocks) to beach. Second time here and love the front porch sitting on a quiet street. Coffee maker had moldy coffee grinds when we arrived, some windows were left unlocked upon first entering the house, and a container of McDonalds fries were left in the upstairs bedroom between bed and nightstand. Perhaps a more thorough attention to detail in cleaning is needed, otherwise a wonderful stay with a well equipped kitchen. Thank you!

Great location for a family stay

After many years staying with family in South Haven, this was the first time we'd stayed "as far south" of downtown as this or took advantage of the Kids Corner park a block away. It was a great location for accessing the park, the beach, and the bike trail (starts across the street) that heads south to Van Buren State Park. The house was ideal for our family of five and a mid-week visitor. Having the main restroom off the kitchen was no deal for us, but might be something that some groups might find less than ideal. As advertised, the house was well stocked with kitchen gear and tableware. There were also lots of supplies for the beach...chairs, umbrellas, wagon, bikes, raft, toys, etc. It is a great Cottage on the Corner.

You will love your stay here!

We really enjoyed our stay here for our family vacation! It is so close to the kid's corner park and the blue stairs to the beach. It was so nice to just walk there instead of loading the kids in and out of the car each time. It's a really quiet area and was so relaxing to sit out on the front porch at night. The kitchen is well stocked and has everything you need including a ton of kids plates bowls and cups silverware, high chair, 2 different coffee makers, air fryer and more. We also met the owner while we were there and she was so nice! I definitely recommend this place for families!

Perfect location!

We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage in South Haven. It was very clean and the location was absolutely perfect- just a quick walk down the street to the playground and beach, and a short walk to town. The house had everything we needed and we loved the front porch and appreciated the old house charm. We would love to go back!

Great location

4 blocks from the beach and 1/2 a mile from the downtown shops - was the perfect place for my girlfriends and I to stay. Although 'in town' it was quiet enough to open the windows to listen to the waves without traffic noise. Will definitely be back!

Great location!

We stayed at Cottage on the Corner for 5 days over fall break. Our group of 6 was very comfortable in the house and had everything we needed for a great stay. We cooked a couple meals at the house and the kitchen is better stocked than any house we have ever rented. We enjoyed the front porch swing and used the provided bikes. We loved being so close to Kid’s Korner and the blue stairs.

Quaint cottage

Our overall stay was wonderful! Great location! Close to Lake Michigan. Very walkable!! We had two concerns. #1. Both full baths are on the first floor. #2. The steps are narrow going upstairs and when you almost get to the top of stairs, there is no railing to grab on to at the top. Can be dangerous of older people.

Great location and front porch.

Great location and the front porch is amazing. The upstairs bedrooms are not ideal if you need to use a bathroom during the night because the floors squeak like crazy. The house itself is perfect for a small group and you can’t beat the location!

Perfect location

My husband, tween-age kids and our dear friends all stayed at the cottage for 4 days and 3 nights and we lvoed it! The location was as ideal is it gets - we walked EVERYWHERE, to South Beach and all around the downtown South Haven area. When we had issues with the dryer not working, the owners responded and let us know we didn't have to worry about starting a laundry load before leaving. The bunk bed was noisy when my kids turned in bed, and the floors were creaky upstairs but that is to be expected in an older home! I only mention it because for light sleepers it might be an issue, but my kids slept fine with the sound machine on we brought from home. The neighborhood was very quiet at night even with the blueberrry festival going on! We were very happy at the cottage and would absolutely come back.

Fall Break Weekend

We needed a Michigan fix and decided on South Haven for fall break. The Cottage on the Corner was all that we needed and more. Our kids loved the proximity to the park and we lucked out with amazing weather so access to the beach was too easy as well. The house was clean and roomy for our family of 4, and my kids (5and 8) loved the outdoor spaces on the front porch and back deck. They diligently swept off all the leaves for 45 min one afternoon and were so happy- great for mom and dad! The only thing I couldn’t find was a teapot. Otherwise it had all you could want in the kitchen , and I very well could have missed it in all that cabinet space! A wonderful space where memories were made. Thank you for such a welcoming place in this sweet Michigan town.
