The cabin was in great shape and ready to enjoy. The location is perfect. Between the all the u-pick produce farms, beachfront and nearby lakefront cities this cabin provided many family memories. We brought our three kids ages 4, almost 2 and a 7 month old. We were a little apprehensive that the cabin might provide some small person challenges but between the excellent condition of the cabin, and some well thought out accommodations those issues were soon put to rest. For example, there were 2 gates (we also brought one just in case), and a high chair. This proved to add safety reassurance for us parents. Between books and some family friendly games we spent the majority of out “down time” interacting with each other. The cabin is well suited for personal time (as there are quiet nooks) and family gathering time. The trails around the cabin are well mowed providing great hiking for kids, not too long but not too short either. Each day we explored another part of the 15 acres. A small toddler sized play set provided a chance for my oldest to teach my middle how to climb up the side and slide down. There was a fire grill perfect for my s’mores eaters. The biggest winner in the activities was of course the rowboat. My oldest son started the week being afraid of going in the rowboat. By the end he was asking everyday if we could go out again. Safety vests were available in many sizes to accommodate big and little “kids”. On the outside there are a number of unobtrusive solar lights that illuminate the deck and around the outside of the cabin and did not interfere with the view of the stars. There were also night lights that illuminated key safety areas on the inside. This made it very easy to walk around the cabin at night without having to find a light switch. Within a 15 minute drive there are blueberry and peach picking farms, world class chocolates, a dinosaur statue park, and beautiful beaches. In nearby St Joseph there are 2 kid museums, an old time carousel and of course an expansive beach. In South Haven, we found gift shops, bakeries, fudge and ice cream and again a beach. If you’re looking to do a farm, beach, cabin vacation with some focused family themes you really can’t go wrong. The cabin not only provided a convenient resting place as perhaps a hotel/condo option could but provided the perfect backdrop and added to the character of our family experience.
