The Haven at Bluffton was the perfect place for our family of 13 (8 adults and 5 children - 2 yrs of age to 7). The house is beautiful, the location is fabulous, and there was plenty of rooms and space for everyone. Having 2 kitchens and 2 living rooms is a huge bonus, and the house is extremely well stocked with plenty of everything. We made the most of our time at the two very close beaches, fishing from the backyard patio/dock area, and enjoying all of the sitting places to watch the many boats, freighters, and cruise ships pass through the channel. We stayed at The Haven for a week and none of us were ready to leave. Giving The Haven at Bluffton a 5 star rating is an understatement -- the place (and the hosts) are fabulous!

We had my wife and myself, two adult kids and their spouses, and two grandkids 5 and 2. Everyone had plenty of private space and there was lots of common area space. Two full kitchens was a bonus for the early risers. Kids loved fishing off the back yard dock (no-miss with worms) and the beach was only a very short walk away. We docked our rental boat on our lake day (super convenient to load and pick up passengers). We had a great time. Chuck and Kathy have an awesome property and are magnificent hosts!

The MI home was the most beautiful, well maintained home we’ve rented. Literally, we wanted for nothing—the bathrooms, laundry, and kitchen were well stocked. We really took advantage of the double kitchens and literally never went out to eat. The location was absolutely beautiful and so entertaining as boats large and small paraded by. We purchased day fishing licenses and fished off our private dock. Kathy and Chuck provided excellent service. The place was exceptionally clean. The pictures don’t do it justice. It was a 10 star experience!

My husband and I along with our adult children, 11 of us, stayed Labor Day weekend and had a great time! The cottage was beautiful, very clean, and had everything we needed for our stay. We especially loved the outdoor space and enjoyed watching the boats go by.

We stayed with 4 adults and 4 kids and this property had an incredible amount of space. The 2nd kitchen and fridge was great and much needed for a week long stay. The location to the beach and biking distance was amazing. I would highly recommend this property to a group looking for a beach vacation stay.

Our family of 10 stayed in this beautiful home very comfortably for a week. We had kids as young as 3 and grandparents up to 70. The location of the property was ideal with our choice of 2 lakes and great boat and bird watching. The yard was a fun and safe place for the kids to play when we were at home. The home is stocked with everything you need. Property managers were immediately accessible and touched base with us to see how it was going. Boat traffic was super fun and just gar enough away to not be intrusive. We will definitely consider going back. The Chase Family.

This is a gorgeous property. During the week we enjoyed seeing three lake freighters, a cruise ship, several party boats and a host of sailboats and pleasure craft. The area is close to so many attractions including wineries and breweries. It was such a delight to wake up with the grandchildren. The caretakers Chuck and Kathy were quick to respond to problems (which were few). We had a wonderful vacation!

Our family of 10 had a wonderful vacation at The Haven in Bluffton! Our party included six adults and four children under 7. We all agreed that the home was spacious and easily accommodated our family groups. It was really nice hving two kitchens, both fully stocked with all the dishware and cooking equipment you need. We brought paper bowls and small paper plates for snacks, which get a lot of use by the little ones in our family! Other paper goods (towels, tissues, t.p.) were well stocked in closets throughout the house. The large grassy backyard was perfect for playing games, e.g. corn-hole, bubble-making contests, and for sitting around the fire to cook S'mores and tell stories. The children AND adults got a thrill whenever a Big Boat passed by in the channel. Fishing from the deck was easy, though no one caught a fish. We had four lovely days at the Harbour Towne Beach, which is a short walk from the house. The beach was Perfect for our four small kids; clean sand, large shallow area, warm water, and no big waves. Beach chairs are provided at the house (in a bin on the deck along the channel) to accommodate all of our group. There is a collapsible beach wagon at the house, which is helpful for hauling gear to the beach. Some of us drove our cars this short distance, just for the convenience of hauling chairs, beach bags and blowing up our inflatables in the parking lot (we brought our own floats and rafts from home) Note: there is a parking fee for this lot and we all bought a season pass, which is also good for the Pere Marquette beach, and going to The Deck restaurant. The Parking attendants are checking cats regularly at both of those areas. Our stay at The Haven provided everything we were looking for this year for our summer vacation, and hope we can come back again! -- Marcia and Roger Huff Holland, MI
