Driftwood Manor is a beautiful turn of the century home with modern touches and amenities that can accommodate up to 12 guests in its 6 bedrooms. Located at 104 Michigan Avenue in the Historic district of South Haven, this historic home offers close access to beaches and the heart of downtown. Even with all the modern influences, appliances and decor, Driftwood Manor is a timeless gem.

Driftwood Manor is located one block away from South Haven’s South Beach with its warm sands, cool waters, children's laughter and the fresh velvety embrace of the wind coming off the lake. South Beach is a perfect place to launch a paddle board, take kiteboarding lessons, play volleyball or to just sit and watch some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world. Just a bit further of a walk and you will find yourself on Phoenix Street, the heart of South Haven and all the fun shopping and dining experiences this dreamy little Lake Michigan City is famous for.

After adventuring all day you will find all the creature comforts of home within Driftwood Manor. A cozy living room with a fireplace and soft subtle tones will set the mood. The sitting room with its deep, comfortable furniture is the perfect place to flop down and plot and plan for the evening, or read the book you found at Black River Books.

The kitchen has plenty of counter space to spread out all the delicious goodies you bought at the Farmer’s Market or from DeGrandchamps Blueberry Farms. There are plenty of seats for all to watch the family Chef create tasty delicacies and dishes. When their creations come out of the oven, or off the grill from the backyard, you can gather together around the large dining room table to enjoy the laughter, or embarrassment, of childhood stories and family memories.

The bed rooms are just as you would expect from such a beautiful and comfortable home. They are warm, cozy and will embrace your worn out body and let you fall into a deep sleep. On the first floor and the upper level are two very special bedrooms, those with fireplaces. Falling asleep with the crackle of the fire and the smell of applewood burning will surely usher in childhood memories. The majority of bedrooms are on the second floor - this is also where you will find the second bathroom within this home. 

Baths:
Bath 1: Tub/Shower Main floor
Bath 2: Tub/Shower Second Floor

Driftwood Manor is a timeless beauty - that so many have fallen in love with this home. Many of those families have adopted this home as their family vacation home and have made it a tradition to come back year after year to create memories that they can share with each new generation as their families grow. We hope you and your family and friends will find, create, explore, inspire, and most of all, cherish memories that will last for generations as you stay here at Driftwood Manor.
