The Neighborhood:
Join us as we celebrate all four seasons in Southwest Michigan! In spring, enjoy the vibrant blooms and greenery. Summer brings fun on the water—boating, swimming, and soaking up the sun. Fall allows for scenic walks through the nearby Allegan State Game Area and gives everyone a chance to pick that perfect apple from one of our amazing local orchards. And winter offers skiing at one of the local resorts or cross-country trails, snowmobiling, lake or pond ice skating, plus plenty more snow-filled fun.
We’re just 10-15 minutes from Crane’s Orchards and Dutch Farms - amazing pies and fruit picking. Enjoy a tasting and tour of local favorite Fenn Valley Winery, one of the many vineyards our area is known. For antique lovers, the area has a treasure trove of stores in South Haven, Allegan, Douglas, and Saugatuck. Summer brings adventure in the sun featuring Saugatuck dune rides, sparkling South Haven beaches, biking trails, and fresh fruit aplenty: cherries, blueberries, raspberries, and peaches will be ripe for picking here in the farming heart of Southwest Michigan.
Getting Around:
We are conveniently located close to SW Michigan’s cutest coastal towns—15 minutes from downtown S. Haven, 20 minutes from Saugatuck, and 30 minutes from Holland.
