La Maison Malabar - Wunderschöne Luxus-Hütte in toller Lage!

La Maison Malabar is a beautiful cabin in South Haven, Michigan, just north of downtown. It features 3 gorgeous bedrooms and 2 beautiful bathrooms. It was recently renovated by a couple from Poland who spent 6 years doing all of the intricate woodwork and renovations for the property. It has all modern amenities including air conditioning, WiFi, cable television, a dishwasher, and a washer and dryer. The cabin provides an incredible getaway for couples, small group, or families!


INTERACTION WITH GUESTS:

We have a local property manager in place who meets guests in person and is available to address any and all questions and/or issues.


NEIGHBORHOOD:

The surrounding neighborhood is an eclectic mix of a several different houses of various styles and sizes. (The neighborhood is not an organized subdivision.) The neighbors are very friendly. Some of the neighbors do have dogs (mainly to alert about the local wildlife) and the dogs may be outside (tied up or gated) and may bark at you (from a distance) during your stay.

The cabin is located in a beautiful woodsy and forested area only about 3 miles north of downtown South Haven. South Haven is perhaps the quintessential beach town in Michigan. It is located on Lake Michigan where the Black River flows into Lake Michigan. There are a vast array of shops, cafes, restaurants, and bars in the town as well as very nice beaches on Lake Michigan on both sides of the Black River (the South Beach and the North Beach). There is a lovely pier that leads out to the famous South Haven LIghthouse. The pier and beach make for a great sunset walks as the sun is setting on Lake Michigan!

If a more natural environment is desired, the Casco Township Natural Preserve is just 1.8 miles north of the cabin on Lake Michigan. It provides nice walking trails that have gorgeous overlooks of Lake Michigan.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The property is quite close to Lake Michigan, but it is separated from Lake Michigan by several extremely expensive lakefront houses. There is no public path between these houses to get to Lake Michigan. Please do not trespass on any of the neighbor's properties to access the lake. North Beach in South Haven is only 4.2 miles from the property. Please drive to North Beach or any of the other public beaches in the area to access Lake Michigan and its beaches.


GUEST ACCESS:

Guests have access to the entire house and property.


THE SPACE:

The cabin has a wonderful international flair to it! The house was remodeled by a couple from Poland who spent 6 years working on the renovations and all of the detailed woodwork that is throughout the house. There is a lovely woods and nature theme that flows throughout the entire cabin. This includes a lot of beautiful hand-crafted woodwork. The name of the cabin, La Maison Malabar, is French for "The Malabar House" and the cabin is named after the Malabar Coast of India, where the current owners of the cabin are originally from.


TRANSIT:

It is highly recommended that guests have their own means of transportation.


PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

1) LAYOUT: The cabin has two beautiful bathrooms, but each one is an en suite bathroom (i.e. private bathroom attached to a bedroom). Thus, it is necessary to walk through one of the bedrooms (either Bedroom #2 or Bedroom #3) to get to one of the bathrooms.

2) STORAGE SPACE: At present, there is not a lot of storage space in the cabin in terms of closets and dressers, which could be an issue for larger groups and/or groups that are staying for longer periods.

3) FIREWOOD: We do not provide firewood.

4) LOCATION: The property is quite close to Lake Michigan, but it is separated from Lake Michigan by several extremely expensive lakefront houses.
