The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. Communication with the owner was seamless—they were responsive, helpful, and made sure our stay went off without a hitch.We were in town for my daughter’s wedding at Black River Barn, and the location couldn’t have been more perfect. It was just a short drive to the venue, which made our busy schedule so much easier to manage. The house was also just a couple of minutes from downtown South Haven, where we enjoyed some lovely walks, great restaurants, and charming shops.This home truly felt like a home away from home, and we’re so grateful for the experience during such a special time for our family. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area—you won’t be disappointed! ##### Jason S. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily D. Aug 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Home My family had a wonderful stay at Idlewood. It was the cleanest rental I’ve ever stayed in! Hats off to their cleaning crew! Everything was as described and more. The kitchen had everything we needed including a full spice rack, olive oil, and balsamic. The host was amazing at helping me prepare for the trip. Property is in a nice, quiet neighborhood which also means more driving to places which we knew ahead of time based on the listing’s descriptions. (Without small kids you could walk to more stuff) We saw wild turkeys every morning! The outdoor area is very small but with all the outdoor offerings in South Haven we were ok with that. We loved the new pool - it’s so close to the house. Don’t plan on using the pool restrooms though because in the entire week we were there, there was no toilet paper, soap, or paper towels. But since you’re so close to the house it’s not a big deal. This is a great house if you’re looking for a nice, large family friendly rental! Kids of all ages will be happy and accommodated! Thanks for a great stay! ##### Emily D. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debbie C.

House was nicely furnished. Only drawback was it seemed a bit tight for the amount of young children we had (4 under the age of 4), and a finished basement or bigger backyard would have helped. Also, we were a bit surprised by how close the proximity of the neighbors’ houses were to this house. ##### Mary K. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Grant D. Sep 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### This home is a JOY and so is the owner! We loved this home from the moment we stepped inside. Bright, spacious, and pristine. Loads of storage space. House is generously stocked with everything you need--bath products, laundry supplies, cooking oils and spices, tons of towels, kids' books, toys, even night lights throughout. Plentiful beach towels, chairs, toys, and a special beach stroller that works on the sand. Close to all beaches, and a quick drive (or leisurely walk) to the pool. We stayed for 9 days and rotated in various groups of friends and family. Everyone from ages 3.5 to 82 loved this home. The bedroom and full bath on the main floor was wonderful for my mom who struggles with steps. The primary bedroom upstairs is enormous--such a treat! Grandkids loved the toys, books, and bunk room. The owner, Lori, is fantastic. We consider her a friend! ##### Grant D. Stayed 9 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura B.

The house is immaculately clean & is completely stocked with everything you could need. Love the location & how the house is on the corner near the woods so very quiet as well. We will for sure be back again next year! ##### Laura B. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura P.

We had one small maintenance inconvenience and the owners worked to resolve it quickly. We were very happy here - thank you Lori for sharing your home! ##### Samantha H.

Our group included two families with small children. This home has every amenity you would want for young families staying at a beach home. The owner even installed detachable spray hoses in the showers to aid in showering children following our review from last summer. I can’t say enough positive things and can’t wait to stay again. ##### Lisa H. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Al G.

We traveled to South Haven from New York State for our son’s wedding. The house was perfect for all involved from a 90 year old Grandmother down to an almost two year old! There was a large supply of beach chairs, beach towels and toys plus everything you would ever need in a rental home. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space for everyone to relax. Lori was a great host and was willing to help in anyway to make our time in South Haven just perfect! South Haven fireworks for July 4th were awesome too! ##### Paul S.
