Golden Hour Retreat - Sauna, Hot Tub & Fire Pit

Summary:

Experience the perfect blend of 1900s charm and modern luxury at this newly renovated South Haven farmhouse.



Set on over an acre of private land, this retreat is designed for groups seeking a peaceful escape with high-end wellness amenities.



Relax in the private outdoor sauna, soak in the hot tub, or gather around the custom fire pit. We offer a true resort-style experience just 8 minutes from Lake Michigan, close to easy lake days, while still offering privacy and space you won’t find closer to town



The Space:

🛋️ Living & Dining 🍽️



The heart of the home is an open, sun-drenched sanctuary. Original wood floors and soaring ceilings create a warm, airy atmosphere in the main living area, where a plush sectional and 65” Smart TV await your movie nights. Nearby, the gourmet kitchen is a focal point for gathering, featuring stainless steel appliances and a massive farmhouse table designed for long, slow morning breakfasts.

For the caffeine enthusiast, our specialized beverage station is fully equipped to start your day right, whether you prefer a bold roast or a soothing herbal tea.





🛌 Bedrooms & Accommodations



The home’s layout is thoughtfully designed to provide privacy for large groups across two levels:



🍀 Main Level Suite: A serene Queen bedroom featuring a beautiful green desk—perfect for those who need to stay connected while away.



🍀 The King Suite (Upper): Our most spacious retreat, featuring premium linens and a peaceful ambiance for a restful night’s sleep.



🍀 The Queen & Full Rooms (Upper): Two additional elegantly appointed bedrooms, each featuring curated decor and ample storage for longer stays.



🍀 The Signature Bunk Room (Upper): A favorite for families, this playful space features a Twin-over-Full wooden bunk bed plus an additional Twin daybed, all set against the home’s beautiful original woodwork and a whimsical tiger-themed rug.



🧖🏼‍♀️ The Spa & Grounds



While the interior is breathtaking, the outdoor "Resort Zone" is where the magic happens.



🍀 Step out onto the expansive wooden deck to soak in the 8-person hot tub, or head to the detached cedar sauna to melt away the stress of the week. As evening falls, follow the brick-paved pathway to the custom fire pit. Surrounded by eight vibrant red Adirondack chairs and illuminated by a canopy of Edison bulb string lights, it’s the ultimate setting for s'mores, storytelling, and stargazing.
