Description

OllieWood is a stunningly curated 1-acre property 12 mins from both hot spots of Saugatuck and South Haven with 100% 5-star ratings on Airbnb (for many more images go to Airbnb link provided w/ images). Just 2-hours door-to-door from Chicago or Detroit, newly renovated Olliewood is one of 10 original historic properties left in historic Glenn (known as Pancake Town USA – check it out on Wikipedia!) of the Fennville Twnshp, on the Michigan coastline. It's a 12-min walk to Glenn Beach (great for dogs), and a very short drive to some of the most popular beaches and nature preserves on Lake Michigan including Oval Beach, Douglas Beach, Pier Cove, North Beach & South Beach as well as the Kalamazoo River. Don't forget Apple, Cherry and Blueberry picking, which are all nearby! This is a newly renovated property that has kept its original 1920's charm with a modern twist. It offers amazing privacy in the curated backyard. The kitchen is fully stocked and there are 3 bedrooms with new beds and furniture, 3 full and one ½ baths (all newly renovated with rain showers) situated on one of the most scenic acres in the area. On the inside, the house features original hardwood and wood-burning fireplace, all new furniture, renovated bathrooms, USB-C plugs, a full gym that includes a Peloton, full set of weights, weight bench, yoga mats, TV, and other workout equipment. Get your workout on before relaxing on this amazing property. Walk the stunning Lake Michigan shore and beaches sporting what have been ranked as some of the most scenic coastal views in the entire country (Conde Nast Traveller, Travel & Leisure). There is nothing like the pure Michigan coast to restore your soul and relax the mind while escaping the stresses of everyday life. Then head into Saugatuck for what is known as some of the best shopping and arts in the region. The area is especially known for antiques but there are amazing clothing, crafts, décor and other boutiques in town. After that, enjoy Saugatuck’s thriving restaurant and bar scene in one of the most idyllic coastal cities in Michigan. Or head south 10 mins to another top beach town with more great restaurants, bars, shopping and family activities in South Haven. You are right smack in the middle of these vibrant towns. And if you feel like staying in, enjoy cocktails and food in the beautifully manicured and flowered gardens featuring a massive firepit, two pergolas, a pond, barn and some of the most stunning sunsets over the lake. Plenty of seating is available for dinner outside along with two grills (a flattop and propane). If you want a covered experience park it in the rocking chairs in the wrap around screened-in porch! Oh, and that big willow tree you see in the backyard – her name is Madame Olivia and she is the oldest in Allegan County! We’ve got cornhole and other games as well as picnic and beach supplies too! The property is adjacent to the oldest and longest operational elementary school in Michigan (don’t worry, it is only a one class school with little noise 😉) and is just steps away from The Glenn Store, which has any supplies you may need and serves pizza and sandwiches, which have been ranked top in the state by Detroit News! No lie, this stuff is GOOD, ya’ll (yep, they have Gluten Free)! And if you don’t want to pick up some Za or cook in the fully stocked kitchen, head over to The Creekside Kitchen serving great food, just steps away. We really put our all into this home to make it a great get-away for you in one of the most sought-after beach areas in Michigan and outside of Chicago and Detroit. We also provide grocery services if you would like your fridge stocked ahead of time. Just let us know and we can arrange it for you. We will just need to know ahead of time. And we have included info in the welcome packet for boat rentals in the area! If you want to book ahead of time, just let us know and we can share recommendations. Welcome to the comforts of OllieWood!
