Recently updated “In the Trees” is separated from the neighborhood with old growth flowering rhododendrons and surrounded by woods on all other sides making for a very private getaway with unique views from every window.
INSIDE THE HOME
Nestled on a wooded lot in the quaint hamlet of Glenn is our Michigan retreat. Designed for intimate gatherings of friends and family, the home offers multiple porches, decks, glass nooks, and a 3 season room to relax and immerse in nature. The living room is well stocked with with cards, dice and games and a big wood table to gather around. In the colder months, you can warm up by the wood burning fireplace in the living room. Off the living room are two bedrooms with queen beds, and additional sleeping for two is available via the pull out couch with memory foam. There are also two separate full bathrooms. The gourmet kitchen is centered around a large 6 burner oven and is easy to entertain in. It’s properly stocked with everything you’d need to make meals at home, perhaps using local produce from Dee’s Farm just down the road. There is a third bed room in the newly done garage addition, there is no heat so renting between November through April not permitted. No pets allowed.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS:
This home sleeps 6 guests
Main House Bedroom 1: King Bed
Main House Bedroom 2: Queen Bed
Main House Sleeper Sofa
Garage Bedroom: Queen Bed - GARAGE BEDROOM IS NOT HEATED
OUTDOOR SPACE
Enjoy the beach rock fire pit and Adirondack chairs privately located in the back of the home or fully unwind at night in the 6 person Nordic hot tub. The large wrap around back deck is a great place to lay in the hammack, use the bag set or play giant jenga. The 3 seasons room is usable all year-round, down to 30º weather with the radiant space heaters always on.
THE LOCATION
The house in just steps away from Lake Michigan. Walk 3 minutes down the road to find steps leading right down to the water! Heading north from the stairs you’ll find over a mile of walkable beach. A short drive away is a local favorite: Wau-Ke-Na, W. E. Smith Preserve North Tract. The private lake access is shared with the homes in the neighborhood and is not open to the public making it private. Not only are you in perfect distance to the lake, but also to two resort towns. South Haven and Saugatuck are both a fifteen minute drive away, the best of both worlds.

Great communication. Good spot to be midway between South Haven and Saugatuck. So close to beautiful views of Lake Michigan. We enjoyed the bikes, corn hole, fire pit and scrabble.

We loved staying here! Such a beautiful area. Clean, cozy and had everything we needed. We ended up with only 1 kiddo coming with us. Which was perfect. I had originally thought there was 3 bedrooms inside the house. There are 2 bedrooms inside and one in the garage. We would have made it work with more people with us but it would have been tough. Overall we loved the home. The sunroom, the outside. It was great.

We had a wonderful time at your property! Honestly, the only thing that I would mention is that the pictures on the listing do NOT do the property justice. I would absolutely consider getting new photos up because the property and the beach and stuff were far prettier/nicer/more upscale in person than online! Would absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend this place to anyone staying in the area!

House is lovely, tucked away in the woods. Private Lake Michigan beach -?! Unbelievable! 80 stairs to get to it and worth every one. We did not end up needing the third bedroom in renovated garage but it looked lovely.

Great location for a secluded and relaxing stay near the beach. The home is spacious, has a large kitchen and natural light. Bed linens were very soft and the firmness of the bed was perfect for me. You do need some stamina to get back up the 87 steps to the beach but it's worth it. We spotted some deer, wild turkeys, rabbits and of course many squirrels. A short drive to neighboring towns, Saugatuck, Holland and South Haven.

We really enjoyed our stay. Great kitchen, though we didn't cook! Next time, we will plan a grocery trip. The screened in porch was really comfortable with all the sliding doors open. The room in the garage was nice, but a bit of a pain to have to go to the main house to use the bathroom, but we knew that beforehand. TIP: The shed's lock code is on the sheet with the WIFI password. It took us too long to realize that and we could have used those beach chairs!

The home was absolutely “in the trees”, making it very private despite other houses all around. The interior is roomy & spread out with nice flooring & updated workable kitchen. Bathrooms are also updated with tile floors. Nice furnishings throughout with only one exception and that is lack of bath linens.1 each of everything was a bit skimpy for us so laundry was done daily. I am giving 4 stars for cleanliness only because the outside of the home has many spider webs attached to the windows & deck. Otherwise, the interior was very clean. We very much enjoyed our time in your home with our son & family.

The property offered a lot of fun extras! We rode the bikes, played cornhole, giant Jenga and the deluxe scrabble board! Also the kitchen had spices, plastic storage and even a crockpot! The private lake access was also a bonus for watching the sunsets! There is plenty of space with front porch, sunroom, and rear deck so we could spread out. The hammock and jacuzzi got a lot of use too! From my first inquiry about the property, the Jacqua staff was very friendly and responsive.

Amazing Home, Incredible Location
This is one of the best properties I have stayed at. The house is beautiful with a 3 season room, beautiful outdoor deck, and of course half a block away from the beach. The Jaqua Rental team was so communicative and helpful, they made sure all our questions were answered before we even thought to ask them. While the one bedroom being separated from the house and in the garage did break up group cohesion, this stay would be perfect for a group looking for some privacy as well. My friends and I absolutely loved this home and hope to return some day!! 10/10 would recommend

This beautiful, updated house was perfectly placed literally in the trees and within a short walk down to the beach. Don't miss the sunset views!! We spent most of our time in the Sun Room, kitchen and dining areas. Outdoor decking made the hot tub easily accessible, so we enjoyed it at night and one morning too. We visited Holland's Windmill Island Gardens one day, and area beaches the other two days. The bedrooms were all comfortable (note the garage shares the indoor bathrooms). As with any rental a couple of small improvements will be offered, but nothing that would keep us from returning. Lovely stay!

My party of 4 women booked this cottage for a three day weekend (two nights.) It was perfect for our needs. Check-in was exceptionally easy, the house was lovely, and checkout was simple. The cottage has a lovely cabin-in-the-woods feel thanks to the assorted trees, bushes, and plants. We really loved the layout of the house with the two bathrooms, two bedrooms in the house, and one bedroom in the converted portion of the garage. The wood-burning fireplace was fantastic and easy to use, and the fire pit outside was great, too. The kitchen was well-stocked with cooking utensils and pots/pans, plus a perfect assortment of often-used spices and butter. We had our own, but the fact that they were available if we had forgotten them was incredible. The furniture was very comfortable and we easily spent our evenings chatting in the living room for hours. The sunroom and back deck were also the perfect places to relax and enjoy the scenery. I will say that our visit being in early spring meant that the foliage didn't hide how close the neighbors were, but it is a quiet neighborhood and there were no disturbances. We would also caution anyone getting into the hot tub to be exceptionally careful. The step down from the deck is a little further than you think, upon first glance. Lastly, the location is amazing. It is 15 minutes south to South Haven or 15 minutes north to Saugatuk. There were many restaurant and shopping locations in a reasonable distance.

Beautiful home just a very short walk from the beach. Beach is a little rocky so I would recommend some water shoes but there's still plenty of sand for the little ones to have fun. The adults had fun picking out some unique rocks to bring home. The home was extremely tidy and welcoming when we arrived and came with all the amenities you could ever need. It was also pretty baby proofed which was awesome since we had our 10 month old and 3 year old with us. Beds and furniture were all very comfortable. We traveled to Oval beach which was a nice little early afternoon trip and there is tons to do in the Saugatuck/Douglas area. We loved it here and would love to come back. Definitely recommend a stay here.

Absolutely lovely place to stay. The Cottage in the trees perfectly describes the home. We stayed with another couple, and the home was perfectly clean and a great location for a weekend getaway. The beach was in close walking distance and though the stairs were under construction we were able to spend several sunsets enjoying the water. The provided beach chairs we a great addition of ease and comfort. We grilled almost every night and enjoyed dinner and game nights on the huge screened in porch. We chose to visit Saugatuck frequently and it's a close drive to hiking trails, restaurants, beaches, and boat rentals. The home was cozy and quiet with plenty of outdoor adventures to explore. Great rental!

The home is lovely and well equipped. For the square footage it feels very roomy. The breakfast nook is a beautiful place to sit, surrounded by floor to ceiling windows and trees on sides. The 3 season room is spacious and is separated from the living space by a large kitchen area. This means that should you chose to, you can easily have an adult and a kid area as needed without encroaching on each others space. We only used the stall shower where the temperature and the pressure of the water was great. Towels were plentiful and soft and the hand crafted soap was divine. Fans were provided in the bedrooms which was great as we preferred to keep windows closed at night. The kitchen appliances, large and small were fabulous. Actually love the kettle so much we are going purchase one for ourselves. There is Netflix where you may log on as a guest. The outdoor area is lovely. Laying on the hammock looking up at the mature trees was a real treat. There is a fire pit, picnic table and hot tub of which we did not partake but was warm and ready for a guest. It was perfectly quiet at night. All in all it was a lovely, comfortable stay in a clean and pleasant home amidst beautiful surroundings. Please ask, prior to booking, whether there is any construction in the area. If you are sensitive to sound or prefer your outdoor time to be free of "city" noise, make sure to ask. This is an excellent stay for a couple wanting a quiet get away alone or a family wanting to have fun. We recommend it HIGHLY.

This was a nice and cozy stay. It's a bit corporate feeling but has the bare necessities to call home. The sun room is a non-heated 3 season room, good to know for the winter months. But heat from inside and extra heaters helped. The string lights and skylights made it so cozy! We had 6 people and it was a bit crowded but still welcoming and in a wonderful location- just a short walk to the lake! Beautiful views.
