Sweet Pea Cottage | Fire Pit | Walk to Beach

Escape to Sweet Pea Cottage, your private South Haven retreat just a 7-minute walk from the beach! Perfect for families, couples, and small groups, this charming cottage comfortably sleeps 8 guests and combines cozy beach-town charm with spacious indoor and outdoor gathering spaces designed for unforgettable lake getaway memories.

After a day spent exploring downtown South Haven, relaxing on the shoreline, or visiting nearby wineries, come home to a beautifully designed living room filled with soft neutral furnishings, comfortable seating, and warm natural light. Whether you're enjoying movie night with the family, sipping wine after sunset, or simply unwinding after a beach day, this inviting space quickly becomes the heart of the home.

The fully equipped galley kitchen makes cooking easy and enjoyable, with generous counter space, stylish tile backsplash, and large windows that bring in sunshine and fresh lake breezes. From quick breakfasts before the beach to full family dinners, everything you need is provided—including cookware, dishes, coffee station essentials, and more. Just beyond the kitchen, the formal dining room with its elegant arched doorway creates the perfect setting for shared meals, game nights, and meaningful conversations.

Sweet Pea Cottage comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests across four charming bedrooms designed with comfort and relaxation in mind. On the main level, guests will find a spacious queen bedroom with TV and easy access to the full bathroom with tub/shower combo. Upstairs are two cozy queen bedrooms tucked beneath charming dormer ceilings, each featuring comfortable seating areas perfect for enjoying a quiet morning coffee or relaxing with a good book. The fourth bedroom includes two twin beds, ideal for kids or additional guests, along with convenient access to the upstairs half bath. Luxury linens, towels, WiFi, central AC, Smart TVs, washer/dryer, and parking for up to 3 vehicles are all provided for a stress-free stay.

The outdoor spaces are where Sweet Pea Cottage truly shines! The large private backyard is fully fenced and beautifully landscaped, creating a peaceful retreat after long summer days. Gather around the fire pit in the evenings for roasted marshmallows, gooey s’mores, and stories beneath the stars while fireflies light up the night sky.

Guests especially love the spacious screened porch, which serves as an additional living and dining space surrounded by greenery and cool lake breezes. Start your mornings here with fresh coffee, spend lazy afternoons reading in the shade, or enjoy dinner together after a day at the beach. The backyard grill makes outdoor meals simple and fun all summer long.

Traveling with dogs? Sweet Pea Cottage is dog-friendly and welcomes up to 2 dogs (with a $125 pet fee per dog) so your four-legged family members can enjoy vacation too!
