It's more than the Blueberry Festival or picture-perfect sunsets, more than the best ice cream or the art shows — it's a safe-haven from the rest of the world where time slows down as boats glide past on the Black River, a place where good friends meet for wine tasting and to talk late into the night. It's a place to relax, recharge, and enjoy living for a while! Welcome. Poplars Cottage is ideally located just off the main beach road, Lake Shore Drive, literally seconds from one of the finest white-powder sand beaches in the U.S. Throughout the summer, the City of South Haven combs the beach of debris to keep it looking pristine. The sun, setting as it does over the lake, often brings a spectacular color palette that truly must be seen to be believed. Set amidst this idyllic locale, Poplars Cottage features: A Great Room - A comfortable sectional makes for ideal lounging conditions to read a book, chat with family and friends, or watch some serious television on the 4K LCD with full Dolby Atmos Surround Sound. Use of our Netflix subscription is complimentary, along with Disney and Prime. Four Bedrooms • Three bedrooms have Queen Beds • One bedroom has a Bunk Bed with a Full and a Twin mattress All the beds were replaced recently with custom King Koil™ luxury mattresses. 2 Full Bathrooms: 1. Totally Renovated Bathroom, featuring Spa-Style Shower (wall/hand-held, rain can, and body spray) and a heated floor. The six-function spa shower has (a) multi-setting wall / hand-held shower combo; (b) overhead rain-can shower; and, (c) four body sprays; plus combinations of any two. A sheet of natural onyx is inset within the shower wall, behind shelves for shampoo and soap. Besides having tremendous natural beauty, Onyx is remarkably translucent. We've added a customizable color backlight behind the onyx and a wall-mounted control panel over the sink. To add to your shower experience, turn on the onyx backlighting and watch as it continually changes colors and hues. Of course, no shower would be relaxing if you were to run out of hot water, so we've installed a high-capacity, industrial-grade tankless hot water heater for unlimited hot water. The newly installed 2nd bathroom is ensuite, with a tub/shower combination. This thoughtfully designed bathroom creates an oasis for convenience and privacy. Other Features: • Full kitchen with dishwasher, fridge with ice maker, waffle maker, blender, and coffee maker. • Central A/C and Heat. • Full Washer & Dryer • High-speed Internet via Wifi Outdoor shower with hot/cold water for rinsing sand off from the beach.

SOHA Check in good, kitchen good, WiFi sporadic, parking permit access a bit confusing.My family enjoyed the location to the beach, the cottage had everything we needed. Questions were answered quickly. We enjoyed walking and dining at Captain Lou's.

Just what I wanted This was a girl's trip to celebrate my birthday with friends. The house was cozy and just as it appeared online. My friends all commented on what a great place. Being there in November was off-season to enjoy the very few steps to the beach (would be great in season) but we enjoyed a beautiful sunset over the lake. The home was clean and had everything we needed and expected. The one downer was that the thermostat alarm went off at 7 AM on Sunday for a rude awakening. After pressing every button I was able to stop the noise and let them know about it. So we just got up and left earlier than planned since there was no rest after that! There's nothing they could have done to predict that - but overall, it was a wonderful trip and we all had a great time in this sweet cottage.

Location, location, location We loved our time at this property. The house is small but it's all about the location. The bathrooms are updated and clean. The kitchen was tight but the outdoor space more than compensates.
