Maeder Family South Haven Michigan Vacation 2024

South Haven Michigan is a favorite place for my whole family! My grandparents live in Fennville which is nearby so we have been going to South Haven for awhile. Sadly though, our last real trip there with the whole family for several days was 7 years ago. We couldn’t believe it!! So of course we had to go to all the spots we love. It was a great long weekend with everyone together.

Some highlights include:

-Crab soup at The Idler. We got to go the very last weekend before they closed for the season and it was DELICIOUS.

-Murphy’s Antique Mall - one of my favorite malls for antiques. It is full of booths with so many cool finds. We grabbed several books for Wilder.

-Saugatuck Antique Pavilion - another great spot to go antiquing. This place is huge!!

-The beach - normally I’m not a beach person but since Wilder loves it, it was so fun to take him there. Especially at sunset! So so pretty watching the sunset from the water.

-The outdoor shower at our Airbnb - this was probably ne of Wilder’s absolute favorite things about the house was taking a shower in an outdoor shower haha

-Getting ice cream downtown - the Old Fashioned Strawberry from Sherman’s was AMAZING. Wilder loved sampling everyone’s flavors so he could try them all.

-Harbor Light Brewing - a new brewery downtown that has some great local beer!

-Bigby Coffee - we took walks every morning and would go into town to get Bigby. Didn’t get the breakfast sandwiches this time but they are soooo good. We should have.
