Tucked just behind a large beachfront home, the Carriage House is the kind of hidden gem that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled onto something special. Located on South Haven’s sought-after North Side, it offers peaceful seclusion just blocks from the charm of downtown, the lighthouse, and the shoreline that brings visitors back year after year. As you arrive, you’ll follow a quiet path along the side of the main house, where your own private staircase leads to an upstairs apartment - Separate, serene, and completely yours.
Step inside and you’re welcomed by a sunlit, open-concept space that instantly feels easy to settle into. Natural light fills the room, and the faint rhythm of nearby waves reminds you just how close Lake Michigan really is. Kick off your shoes and sink into the couch - Maybe for a lazy afternoon nap, or after a morning exploring the Kal-Haven Trail, strolling the harbor walk, or climbing the catwalk at South Beach.
One of the best parts of staying here? Private access to Lake Michigan is only steps away. No traffic, no crowds - Just a short walk and you’re on the sand. Catch the sunrise with coffee in hand, spend the afternoon swimming or skipping stones, or wrap up the day watching the sky turn over the water. The beach is close enough to come and go as you please - No packing, no stress.
Back inside, the space is thoughtfully equipped to make daily living feel effortless. The full kitchen gives you the freedom to cook at your pace - Whether you’re using ingredients from the South Haven Farmers Market or bringing back a bottle from a Lake Michigan Shore Wine Trail tasting. Throw together an easy dinner, snack on local blueberries at the breakfast bar, or enjoy a casual night in without ever needing to leave.
The living room offers a comfortable place to unwind. Pick up tacos from Su Casa or a pizza from Maria’s, settle into the sofa, and stream a movie while the lake breeze moves through the windows. The sleeper sofa also adds flexibility for families or friends traveling together, making the space as practical as it is relaxed.
The bedroom is a quiet retreat all its own, featuring a cozy Queen bed topped with soft, hotel-quality linens. Whether you’re winding down after a day in the sun or sleeping in before a lazy morning, the space is designed for rest and recharge. The mattress offers just the right balance of support and softness, and the atmosphere stays calm and quiet - Even during the peak of summer.
Outside, the shared sunset deck gives you a front-row seat to one of South Haven’s most beloved daily rituals. Grill out, share a drink, or just take in the view as the sky glows over the lake. And when you’re ready to explore, you’re minutes from it all - Ice cream at Sherman’s Dairy Bar, boutique shops along Phoenix Street, antique stores, coffee at Three Blondes, and casual kayaking along the Black River.
At the Carriage House, everything is easy. Whether you're chasing beach days, quiet evenings, or just a change of pace, this little spot gives you the space to do it your way - With the lake always close, and South Haven always within reach.
