Large Lake Home - 15 min from South Haven

Saddle Lake is a 298 acre, All Sports Lake. You can see the sunrise and sunset! Our home feels like a cabin and a lake house...best of both worlds! It offers plenty of indoor and outdoor space to host large groups. There are separate spaces to give all age groups their own area to hang out. You can bring your own boat, and we have a large pontoon boat available for rent separately. It is $200 per night of your stay. We don’t offer daily or partial stay rates.

Gorgeous Wedding Space & A Must Stay!
We hosted a small wedding here and the location is gorgeous. Janis and her family have a beautiful home with so much space and amenities. The house and property were bigger than we expected and the house and linens were immaculate! Plenty of bathrooms, chairs, and space! Thank you again for the amazing experience!

Family Get Together
Thank you for sharing your wonderful home on Saddle Lake with the beautiful view. The amenities were amazing with plenty of games including foosball, ping pong and a pool table. There was something for everyone. The home was very clean and the kitchen had more supplies than I expected to find in a rental. We loved having the pontoon and kayaks to use and the firepit was a great hit for smore's in the evening. My family had a wonderful weekend and we thank you for providing us with a great place to spend time together.

Great getaway for a relaxing writing retreat
Myself and other women graduate students stayed here for a writing retreat. The property was clean and as pictured- a beautiful get-a-way with solid internet and plenty of space for a dozen folks to work with beautiful views. Very close to South Haven for more beach vibes, and lots of toys and such for families with kids! Would recommend and stay here again.

Paradise
This home has it all! We made the home our "base of operations" for my wife's 40th birthday party and it did not disappoint. We had 17 adults stay in the home and at no point did it ever feel cramped or crowded. Granted, we spent most of our time outside, which was also amazing. The deck gazebo was an absolute hit, and a great relief from the sun throughout the weekend. The hosts, Janice and David, were incredible. Incredible attentive and responsive, they did everything they could to make sure we enjoyed our stay. We did have an issue with the pontoon boat stalling, but Janice and David refunded me immediately (without me asking for it) to recitfy the situation. I could not recommend this property more. If you are looking for something close to South Haven, but far enough way to feel "remote," this is your place. 5 stars all the way around.

Family vacation
The house and property were exactly as shown. We were 15 adult family members and there was plenty of room for all of us. The only negative thing was we were to rent the pontoon for three days and everyone was excited about this, especially the fishermen.. Unfortunately when we arrived we were advised the pontoon had engine problems and we could not use it. We were not advised any further if repairs could be done.

Excellent Vacation Home
Our second time staying here and everything is just as nice as the first time. (See 2023 Review) Thanks for the new kayaks. The older kids enjoyed the swim raft and the new fire pit area is awesome. The game setup in the garage was great on a rainy day and we put puzzles together on the tables. We hope to come back.

Saddle Lake lakehouse
We stayed here for a family wedding. We had 20 to 22 people at the house and everyone agreed it was the perfect layout and we would definitely stay again. The lake water was warm. It is sandy near the shore so great to float or sit in the water, but if you want a swimming lake, this isn't it. It was great for fishing and kids could fish right off the dock! It's close to Lake Michigan, so we enjoyed our day swimming at Warren Dunes, an amazing state Park. The kitchen and dining area is spacious and the deck on the back with the gazebo was amazing. The only complaints from the group was the old style TV in the living room that did not have HDMI and the very spotty Wi-Fi. Don't plan on a working vacay if you need Internet. The beds were comfortable, the house was super clean with very comfortable furniture and the owner was so accommodating, which we very much appreciated. We also really appreciated all of the toys available for our 4 year old granddaughter to play with!

Perfect for a large family
Perfect house for our family of 16, which included 8 adults and 8 kids age 12 and under. The house was very clean on our arrival and is tastefully decorated and furnished.There is plenty of room in multiple levels so you don't feel crowded at all. The air conditioning was top notch throughout the house. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare meals and two large tables for seating everyone.The deck is massive and had a spacious gazebo which is in the shade during peak sun. All the book readers hung out here. The kids seemed to gravitate to the upper loft where they hung out and watched movies. There is a neat little play area in the basement with a lot of toys that the younger kids played with. We found the internet adequate, but it did slow quite a bit during heavy use, and it really drops right outside the house. The yard leading to the lake is huge, however this seems to be a preferred spot for geese. A large flock were there when we arrived and trashed the lawn with their droppings. It took awhile to clean up the mess using a scoop that was on hand. They will keep coming back so you have to be on guard. The lake water was clean and shallow near the edge but there are slippery rocks as you try to enter the lake. Past the pier it's very weedy and not pleasant for swimming. Excellent fishing for kids off the end of the pier. The fish practically jump on the hook. Overall we loved the house and are making plans to go back next year.

40th Anniversary and Family Reunion
This home suited our family of 20 perfectly. Our host was so prompt in returning answers to our questions beforehand. Plenty of room to spread out. Beds were good. Supplies were good. Enough bathrooms. Lake was perfect for the kids and we made use of the kayaks. We brought fishing poles and some children caught fish. Close enough to Lake Michigan too that the five families got there to enjoy a morning. The spacious deck and gazebo were wonderful for the adults to visit out there late into the evening after the children went to bed. We don’t know if the TV reception was good or not because we were too busy enjoying everything to turn those on. 😁 Thank you Janis!

Seniors just Wining & Brewing
The house was great! Large kitchen, wonderful deck, comfy beds. Two large bathrooms with deep tubs (showers included). Third bath has a bit of a weird layout with separate shower room, separate toilet room and for a sink it's the laundry sink beside the washer & dryer. It works tho if you're not finicky about brushing your teeth in a deep sink 😊. Both tubs & the shower were a bit slippery for us senior citizens to try to get out of after a shower without grab bars and non-slip flooring or mats. I did like the fact that upon arrival each bed had a towel & washcloth on it for guest, a very nice touch. The king bedroom that says is accessible through the garage is separated from the main part of the house and the only access is thru the garage or the deck. Nice room but no privacy curtain on the door to the deck. Beautiful setting on the lake, so relaxing. If you're thinking of staying at this house, don't hesitate, do it!! No, it's not perfect but then, I've yet to stay in a perfect place and I've stayed in VRBO homes in several countries and across the USA. This was the cleanest home I've ever stayed in by far. My only concern was the slick tub/shower situation.

We had the most amazing time at this house on Saddle Lake! Our whole family stayed here, (12 adults, 10 kids, all ages) and there was plenty of room! So much space inside and outside, so many fun things to do. The owner was amazing throughout the whole process! Everyone had a blast and so many memories were made that we will carry with us forever. We would definitely rent again! Thank you for one of our BEST family vacations!
