September and Fall is starting to book! Enjoy a trip to beautiful South Haven along the shores of Lake Michigan. Driftwood Shores is a charming 1,680 sq. ft. home in the Harbor Club Resort. It has everything you need to enjoy a peaceful family vacation, friends getaway, or girls weekend out. NOTE: AirBnb has changed its pricing structure so that now the host pays the 15.5% service fee (instead of the guest.)
