We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Marta's cottage. The little welcome basket and bottle of wine was delightful, along with the quiet jazz that was playing upon our arrival. The cottage is so cute, and we found it to be very clean and comfortable. It was a pleasure to get to know Marta a little bit, and it is clear she cares about her guests and wants their stay to be a great experience...and ours was!! We hope to return soon.

This was a perfect place to stay for a weekend birthday trip. Marta was so nice. The property was available hours earlier than expected. We loved the complimentary grills and fire pits.

Lovely little place!

This was a great option for a short stay, even though we came right before the pool opened! It was so close to the beach we could see the water from the window, and close enough to town to walk in. Marta was quick and complete with communications, and the place was clean and well set up for us to arrive. Would totally stay here again! Thanks Marta

Great Place!

We had a wonderful weekend getaway for our anniversary. This place is so charming and well kept and in a perfect location. We walked everywhere in South Haven and while at the cottage, swam in the pool, read books on the deck of the pool house, played ping pong in the pool house and had a fire each night out front. The beach is also right across the street. It was perfect.

The cottage

This cottage was perfect for 2 adults and a dog. We had a king-sized bed for sleep, a nice sized bathroom and a well-appointed kitchen with everything we needed to have a meal. Just outside of the cabin was a patio table with 4 chats and a fireplace. And, it was so close to Lake Michigan for walks.
