Escape to Retro Retreat on the Preserve, a private woodland getaway just 8 minutes from downtown South Haven and walking distance to the shores of Lake Michigan. Nestled on 1.4 acres backing to a wooded nature preserve with a scenic overlook above the lake, this spacious 3,700 sq ft home offers the perfect setting for families and friends to unwind, explore nearby beaches and dunes, enjoy games and campfires, and create lasting memories together.

The space
Start your mornings with coffee in the fresh air, surrounded by nature and quiet. Spend your days exploring nearby beaches, hiking or enjoying local wineries just minutes away. In the evenings, gather back at the house to unwind, share meals, and settle into the slower pace of retreat living.

The large outdoor space is made for connection and relaxation. Fire up the grill for group dinners, then gather around the fire pit under the stars as conversations stretch late into the night. Comfortable outdoor seating creates the perfect place to unwind, while the open yard gives everyone room to spread out and enjoy.

Inside, the home blends retro character with modern convenience, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The spacious layout makes it easy for groups to spend time together without feeling crowded—whether you're playing ping pong, enjoying board games, or simply relaxing after a full day out.

The fully equipped kitchen comes stocked with cookware, coffee, and all the essentials you need to prepare meals with ease. Fresh towels, wine glasses, and everyday comforts are all provided—so you can focus on enjoying your stay from the moment you arrive.

My work: Operations @ Book N' Gather
Lives in Kalamazoo, Michigan
I am one of the co-founders of Book N Gather, a vacation rental property management company. We started in 2021 by buying our first vacation rental and we just fell in love with it. It's been so rewarding to delight our guests with great stays that turn into lasting memories. Since then, we have bought additional properties as well as managing vacation homes for others. I currently live in Kalamazoo with my amazing wife of 12 years and my three boys ages 5, 5, and 3 at the time of this writing.
