Private Family Compound Near Lake Michigan Beaches

You’re planning one of those special family get-togethers that all will talk about and remember happily for years. You need a private and safe place where multiple generations of your family can gather - perhaps to celebrate a special occasion - a landmark birthday or anniversary. Your large family requires a property roomy enough that family members can both gather together and also find privacy. Your family requires a location that offers recreational opportunities both on property and in interesting nearby locations.

Crawford on Adams Family Compund was designed with our family traditions in mind.
This 2+ acre family estate compound in the small Lake Michigan beach town of Glenn, Michigan is your answer. The Crawford on Adams Main House has 8 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms. The adjacent former Caretaker Cottage has 2 more bedrooms with full bath and 2 Guest Cabins each have their own ensuite bathrooms. The estate compound accommodates up to 30 guest across four adjacent buildings all of which were renovated in 2022 to a very high standard, giving your family modern, comfortable and attractive surroundings.

COOKING & DINING: This vast amount of private space will give your family group the room you need to dine, play and explore together, creating new family memories. For family meals the dining room and connected kitchen island offers enough table space for all dine together, both indoors and on the outdoor deck. When you cook, the large Main House kitchen has a double stove top, two ovens, two sinks, two dishwashers and two refrigerators providing you with more than enough room for the family to cook and bake together. All the cookware, cutlery, plates and glasses you’re likely to need are here for you too. We provide two gas grills on the deck and an extra tank of propane in the case you run out.

OUTDOOR RECREATION: Everyone, but especially the kids, can have fun together even on rainy days in the attached indoor pool and hot tub. Over two acres of private grounds offer a lots of private space for outdoor games, relaxing and sunbathing. In addition we offer an outdoor firepit and firewood with seating, a swingset and outdoor games for kids and adults.

VIRUS CONCERNS: We recognize that all parents and grandparents are concerned about doing everything they can to protect the health of their families. We feel the same way and do everything we can to give you confidence that your family’s health is protected at North Haven Family Retreat. Here are the details. First, the house is thoroughly cleaned by our housekeeping staff. Then, upon your arrival, you will find that we have provided commercially laundered bed linens for your family, including freshly laundered sheets, blankets and two freshly laundered cases for each bed pillow. And we provide a large supply of wipes for you in the case that you chose to do additional sanitizing.

At your option, the house offers optional Orkin VitalClean third party professional sanitation service prior to check-in. Orkin's trained technicians wipe down all high-touch surfaces followed by a misting application using specialized equipment and its EPA "List N" disinfectant which is both effective against viruses including COVID-19 and also carries the EPA's lowest toxicity rating (Category IV), defined as “practically non-toxic and not an irritant. For more details on Vital Clean sanitation see https://www.orkin.com/commercial/services/orkin-vitalclean Please Note: The charge for Vital Clean sanitation appears as "Cleaning Fee" in the price details. If you wish to opt out of this service simply notify us after completing your reservation and we will refund the cost. Vital Clean not available for Sunday check-ins.

VIDEO & VIRTUAL TOURS: Please click the tour button on the third picture in my gallery to see the virtual tour or click the red YouTube play button to see a video of the property.

HEATED INDOOR POOL: The heated indoor poolhouse is attached to the house and insures great family fun rain or shine. The heated pool is 32' x 16' and 4.5' at it's deepest point. In addition there is an 8 person hot tub available for adult use also inside the poolhouse. Large windows and six skylights make the pool and surrounding recreation room a bright and airy space. There is also plenty of poolside seating.

LAKE MICHIGAN BEACHES & WATERFRONT PARKS: Lake Michigan beaches and waterfront parks are abundant and very close by. A ten minute drive to the South takes you to the famous South Beach and South Haven Lighthouse. Ten minutes to the North takes you to Oval Beach Saugatuck, ranked nationally among the top 10 US beaches. And the 400 acre VanBuren State park is just 12 miles away and features beautiful waterfront sand dunes.

PRIVATE OUTDOOR COMPOUND - A tree lined driveway leads you in to this very private and fenced 2.5 acre parcel. A large patio is located directly off the pool providing a perfect place for grilling, outdoor dining and fireside gatherings.

CANCELLATION & TRAVEL PROTECTION POLICIES: We do not offer refunds for cancelled reservations. Our cancellation policy needs to be this strict because most families book their gatherings 5 to 7 months in advance. As such even 60 days notice often does not allow for a comparable rebooking. Therefore we strongly recommend that you purchase VRBO's Travel Protection policy. We will even reimburse you for half the cost of that policy if unused at check out. In addition, if you do have to cancel for any reason, we will use our best effort to rebook your dates with another family to recover any uninsured loss of your investment.

Our professional hospitality staff is just a few minutes away and can be available on short notice for anything we can do to make your stay more comfortable or fun.

Great family reunion
We chose this place to have our family reunion. Couldn’t have been happier. The indoor pool was wonderful as the weather had cooled off while we were there. The location is great. We made trips to saugatuck and south haven. The kitchen was big enough for all of us to eat together. We cooked in each night. Plenty of room for all our supplies. Having 2 refrigerators was great. Had a bonfire a few nights. Chairs provided. Each night deer would come to visit. Plenty of room outside for the kids to play Kids loved the play area. The cabins were nice bonuses for those who couldn’t handle the stairs in the main house Had a few minor problems. Michael was quick to take care of it. This house worked out great for us

Excellent accommodation
We had a group of 10+ that work together. The 2 houses, and 2 bunkees allowed for everyone to have their own private space while enjoying the large communal areas for our meeting and socializing. Close to lots of activities in both south haven and Saugatuck- would recommend for a business retreat or large family reunion. The indoor pool was a great added bonus!

Great family experience
We hosted a large family reunion at Michael’s property and it was a huge success! The main house was very accommodating and provided lots of space for our group to relax, play, and visit. The deck and large TV room were a hit with children and adults, the kitchen specifically was perfect for cooking for a large group. Michael was very responsive to our little requests. The children particularly loved the indoor pool. We also appreciated the ability to spread out over the various buildings on the property. The houses were clean, well kept, and well stocked. Overall we’ve been doing this reunion for decades and this was certainly one of the best places we’ve stayed. We highly recommend Michael and his properties.

perfect for a large family retreat
perfect for our large family vacation - ages 1-87. kitchen was very well stocked - more than we expected and much better than other rentals i’ve experienced. the indoor pool is large and perfect for the whole family to enjoy. hot tub was a bonus. large backyard for activities. the location is a little farther from south haven than expected but easily accessible within 10-15 min drive. not a location for use of a golf cart. beaches within 10-15 min drive. despite the less than ideal location, overall the house/property was enjoyable and management was responsive in addressing our needs during our stay. would recommend this home and would consider staying again in future.

Amazing Home with every Amenity You Can Think Of
I selected this home based off its location and size for a work retreat/team meeting. The home was clean, well lit and well stocked. The kitchen had 2 or more of everything! The grounds and additional buildings were amazing and great for those that like to get away or stay up later and not wake the rest of the house. I would stay here over and over again! Host was very responsive and professional.

Thanksgiving Family Weekend
We had a great family weekend at the house for Thanksgiving! The house was clean and there was plenty of room for everyone. We felt at home all weekend. The pictures don't do it justice! The pool house was great for the kids and adults to relax in the hot tub. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a big Thanksgiving meal and then all sit together at the dining room table. The house was equipped with plenty of smart TV's and we were able to listen to music through them as well. The caretaker cottage was also a nice surprise with a little living room and small kitchen. The general store on the corner is great if you forget something. We were also close to Saugatuck to go shopping and get dinner one night and visited Waypost Brewing down the street for a beer tasting. We highly recommend this house to a big group looking to spend some quality time together!

Hidden gem
I booked this property last minute because my 4 siblings and I were all in town at the same time with spouses/children. The compound could accommodate all of us x 2. Spacious, clean, and stylish. We had a wonderful long weekend. The kids didn’t want to leave. They had so much room to run and play. The pool and the hot tub were a huge hit. We were close to parks and beaches. By far one of the best places we’ve ever stayed. We were blown away. Michael was overly gracious to accommodate my requests. Looking forward to booking this property again in the future.

Four generations extended family of 29 stayed here and thoroughly enjoyed the property. Recently remodeled meant that most everything was new and clean. Did multiple excursions both as a large group and smaller groups to the numerous local sights and activities ending up each night together for a swim in the pool and /or bonfire!

Wonderful family compound!
We stayed at this wonderful family compound over the 4th of July and it was PERFECT! We have a large family that ranges from 70 years old to a newborn and this property could not be better for everyone. The house is conveniently located between South Haven and Saugatuck if you want to go into town or the beach. The house is AMAZING, tons of room for large families and the kitchen is a wonderful for cooking meals!! The indoor pool was fantastic, the kids spent everyday swimming. The outdoor space is great for family games and the fire pit was a great place for our family to end every night. Michael the owner was wonderful and always available to assist you with anything you needed. We highly recommend this wonderful family compound for making wonderful memories year after year we will definitely come back!!! Charlie Reilly

We had a group of about 25 family members from across the US and overseas, and there was plenty of room for all of us. The kitchen was wonderfully equipped for cooking for that many people. We also enjoyed the outdoor fire pit. It's just a short drive to Saugatuck/Douglas, dunes, beaches, antique shops and wineries.
