The Space:

This gorgeous gem, Hart’s Haven, can sleep up to 12 people in pure unbridled comfort with its spacious 5-bedrooms. Every room gives the feeling of being “Home.” Guests often reflect and comment that the familiarity of this home brings about memories of their childhood – Although we’re pretty sure Grandmother’s house never had such modern touches as those found within Hart’s Haven. This home is a beautiful blend of the original interior and a contemporary modernization - A juxtaposition that infuses each space with an energy and charm that’s as nostalgic as it is refreshingly new.



Imagine waking up in one of the cozy bedrooms, where soft linens and gentle lighting set the scene for a day filled with both quiet reflection and outdoor adventure. In the kitchen, while the appliances retain a timeless, classic look, it’s the generous counter space that truly steals the show. Here, you can spread out ingredients to recreate cherished family recipes, chat over a leisurely breakfast, or even craft a delicious snack while enjoying the kitchen’s warm, inviting ambiance.



Adjacent to this culinary haven is the dining room - A space where every meal transforms into a celebration of time well spent together. Whether you’re sharing hearty laughs over a sumptuous dinner or enjoying a simple cup of tea in reflective solitude, the room’s welcoming atmosphere makes every bite and every moment feel like a cherished memory in the making.



The two distinct living rooms cater to every mood. The main level living room offers a tranquil retreat for quiet movie nights or reading sessions, while the lower level living room bursts with lively energy, perfect for engaging conversations, spirited board games, or gathering around a coffee table for a competitive card game session that sparks laughter and friendly banter.



Step outside into the inviting outdoor area, where a well-designed fireplace offers a warm focal point as the evening sets in. Envision evenings spent gathered around the fire, sharing stories, clinking glasses, and creating memories that stretch long into the night.



The positive energy in every corner radiates a feeling of unconditional love—making your heart sigh and your subconscious drift back to those familiar, cherished moments of childhood. It’s this blend of nostalgia and modern comfort that transforms Hart’s Haven into the ultimate “Home away from Home,” inviting you to live, laugh, and create memories that will last a lifetime.



Hart’s Haven is located in walking distance to just about everything that makes South Haven so attractive and loved. The golden sands of South Beach and the deep blues and greens of Lake Michigan are but a 5-minute walk away. There is the famous Blue Stairs Access near Kids Corner Park (a fabulous playground for kids of any age with picnic tables and barbecue grills) to the south, and to the north there is Van Buren St. Overlook and beach access. The Overlook is one of the best spots in South Haven to watch the sunset, the lighthouse, the beach and all the magnificent colors of Mother Nature as the sun crosses the horizon. It can be a breathtaking experience…especially when Friends Goodwill, South Haven’s very own Historic Tall Ship, unfurls her sails against the setting sun.



A 10-minute walk will put you directly into the heart of South Haven and all the amazing restaurants and locally owned businesses that make South Haven such a thriving Beach Community.

The Restaurant at Hawkshead should be on every “Foodies” bucket list of things to do and explore in SoHa. Their Maple Leaf Farms Duck Breast and the Lake Superior White Fish are absolutely delicious! Taste, Tello’s, Maria’s, and the amazing New Park Gastro Pub are all samples of “Must Try” for anyone who loves gourmet foods!
