    An idyllic vacation, spent in a cozy cottage on the shore of Lake Michigan - just the antidote for the hectic pace of daily living. Michi-Mona-Mac is such a place, lovingly refurbished as a lakeshore retreat where the relaxed and friendly atmosphere and truly wonderful setting make you feel like you never want to go home. Perfect for a family vacation or a romantic getaway, our cottages offer a glimpse of the best of Michigan throughout the year. Greeting you at MichiMonaMac Lakeshore Cottages are Kathy McDonald and Joe Monahan, managers and owners. An excellent source of information for the out of town visitor, you will find us interesting in helping to make your discovery of historic South Haven a wonderful experience. These Cottages are located on the Golden Mile in South Haven, a stretch of white sand beach as lovely as any -- anywhere. From this location, you can walk to parks, to the corner store to get an ice cream cone, or to the marina to watch the boats come and go. Walk downtown and choose between restuarants, shops and antique stores and a first run movie theatre. There is a great atmosphere at MichMonaMac. Summer finds our guests playing basketball in the parking lot, roasting marshmallows over a beach fire, or playing volleyball on the beach. Relax in the hammock. Rent bikes at the corner and hit the 34-mile Kal-Haven bike trail. Come for fall colors. Or snuggle up with a good book by the fire while Lake Michigan puts on a show. Scratch that spring fever itch in beautiful southwest Michigan!

    My stay in August was a wonderful experience. Kathy is a great hostess...the place was spotless, the other guests very inclusive when you were out on the deck. The walks on the beach are wonderful, the sunsets spectacular!

    Kathy McDonald knows how to take care of her guests and if anything, my most recent stay at her Michi-Mona-Mac cottages was even more fun than last time. I can't say enough about this terrific vacation rental. Casual atmosphere, beautiful views and interesting people. I can't wait to go back.
