Adorable Honeymoon Cottage by the Lake This vintage summer cottage is across the road from the lake bluff, and offers a lovely view of the lake and is a quiet, rustic getaway for newlyweds or young families with one or 2 small children. This is not a good choice for folks who are "condo people"--in other words, it's small, old fashioned, and not for everyone. The deck provides a place to grill your dinner as you sip a cool chardonnay from the nearby winery as you watch your children playing on the swingset. The small but serviceable kitchen has everything one would need, including coffeemaker and microwave, pie plate and rolling pin! The DOUBLE bed is brand new in 2022, the hide-a-bed has a blow up mattress, and linens are provided. The beach access is just a short walk away. (one quarter mile) and features a creek which will delight the little ones. Unfortunately in 2021 the beach was very rocky, but it changes all the time, so we’ll see what 2022 brings. Other local beaches are open, and have been listed among the best beaches in the world!. Check out the county park about five minutes north, the Casco preserve, which is about 5 miles south. South Haven and Saugatuck both have impressive beaches as well. Glenn is situated between South Haven and Saugatuck, making it ideal for swimming, shopping excursions, wine tasting, brewery hopping, or for renting a boat or wave-runner. Great restaurants are within 10-15 minutes in 3 directions. This is a cottage for those who want to get away from it all, but want to be within reach of all the action. There is a convenience store in town that has an amazing selection of wine and spirits, snacks, pizza, and the New York Times.On a rainy day, we provide puzzels, toys and games and a collection of old Disney VHSs that can be played on our small TV. There's a movie theater in South Haven with the lowest prices imaginable that plays movies popular with children and adults.Check out our history: The Kerr family has been vacationing on Fabun Road since the early 1900's when my great grandmother, Henrietta, came from Chicago to spend summers here, playing organ for the local girl's camp. She subsequently bought the property next door to the camp. To get here every summer, she had to take a boat across the big Lake, land in South Haven, where she would get on a horse drawn hay wagon with her trunk full of her summer clothes, and once she got to the cottage, she stayed for the whole summer. Her house still stands at 1286 Fabun Road. My father spent summers here as a boy, and so did I. We didn't have a phone in the old days, or a TV, or even running water! We played Monopoly or Sorry, and card games, and built fires on the beach. When we kids would get bored, my mom would just send us out for a walk in the woods. It helped me learn how to enjoy my own company, and be creative. I think every child should spend summers on Fabun Road!
