The house was absolutely perfect for our group of 3 adult couples. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. We had no issues. The home is located on the Black River providing a peaceful setting. It is a short drive to the beach, downtown shopping and grocery stores. Robin was pleasant and easy to communicate with. We would absolutely stay at this property again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Landing. The owners were great with their communications and the property manager was right on top of it when we had a backed up tub drain. The house is clean and well appointed. The lower patio a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the ducks on the river. Our grandkids had so much fun playing ping pong, not to mention all the backyard games. The north beaches are maybe a 5 minute drive away. My husband and I walked to the beach a couple of evenings to enjoy the sunsets.

Very satisfied with everything. Owners have their act together. This ranch is stocked, comfortable and functional. The only heads up I would pass along are highway noise incase you are expecting total quiet and the portable crib may not be what you expect, so clarify that with owner as I didn't see a mattress for what was there. There is a gate on the deck to block the flight of stairs. Again, very happy with this rental!

This house is located on the Black River and has access to the River as well as a large back yard. The owners provide guests with plenty of outside and inside games, a fire pit and access to the river is great for fishing and kayaking/boating. The road is a deadend street off of a busy road. Use your GPS and driving directions. The house sits off of a lane that can be difficult to see from the road. It's a very private location. The owners communicated really well. The photos online don't do the space justice. The interior is clean and nicely kept and the exterior provided space to do many things. We had friends from Europe visit us and fished and kayaked for several days. They enjoyed their time as our guests before going back to their place for the evening. All in all, I highly recommend staying at this VRBO location. The ONLY downside is that beach access is a short drive and the downtown is a short drive; parking is limited in the community.

Wonderful property for our family reunion in South Haven! We really enjoyed the super clean home, which was relaxing with views of the river…and ping pong! My son and brother even brought a kayak and launched from the backyard into the river. Location was really convenient to supermarkets, downtown and beaches — each a few minutes drive. The kitchen was spacious, and one improvement would have been better knives and a pasta strainer. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Great peaceful setting

This property was great for our stay in South Haven. It's a short drive to downtown-maybe 5-7 minutes. The house was clean; had all the supplies we needed, and was so peaceful watching the ducks, geese, squirrels, and I think a muskrat or mink. Nice furnishings throughout; comfortable beds and furniture; very nice firepit with firewood; and great deck and porch underneath the deck. The owners were quick to respond to any questions. We would stay here again.

Family Vacation in the Black River

My Husband, two adult Children and Spouses had a Wonderful time at the Black River Landing! The house was perfect for us and we had everything that we could possibly need! The guys caught some Catfish, Bass, and a Blue Gill! We enjoyed roasting Hot Dogs, Marshmallows and making Smores! We went shopping in South Haven, ate at Clementines twice, as the food was sooooo good, and enjoyed going to the Farmer's Market in town. Great location!! Sincerely, Carolyn Aymer

Great family house

Everything about this property was absolutely terrific! My husband and I rented this for our kids and us for vacation. There were 6 adults and 3 children from 3 1/2 yr - to 6 /12 yrs old. Lots of toys and games both inside and outside on bottom patio to keep kids entertained. We really enjoyed the downstairs patio.. kids could swing or play yard games in the fenced in yard and we could relax. House was so nicely decorated and clean *****( I give 5 stars and I have had my own cleaning service for 30+ years) All the appliances were clean inside and out and the frig was super cold! Also want to give a shout out to our hosts.. very responsive and super nice! Everything felt like home♥️

FANTASTIC!!

This is by far the nicest house I’ve rented in South Haven. The house was spacious, spotlessly clean, beautiful decor, comfortable living and dining areas and so much comfortable outdoor space! Views are beautiful and peaceful, access to the river for kayaking, great fire pit area, lots of games and recreation to entertain everyone when we weren’t at the beach or in town. Everything we needed was provided…small things like salt, pepper, sugar, coffee, paper towels, plenty of toilet paper are so nice to have already there. Laundry room with detergent and spot remover. Comfortable beds, soft sheets, extra blankets, plenty of soft, clean towels. 2 min drive to beach or town and 1 min drive to Meijer. I cannot say enough nice things about this house. We LOVED our stay, there were 8 of us and we had plenty of space! We didn’t want to leave! We will definitely stay here again!

Great Girls Weekend

We had a girls getaway with 6 ladies and a newborn and it was our first time in South Haven. We had a phenomenal stay! The spacious house allowed us to laugh and chat in various areas. We played games in the living room, hung out at the kitchen table while cooking a meal as a group, and enjoyed the top and bottom decks. The beds were very comfortable and everyone loved having such a beautiful home for our self care weekend. A friend brought her baby at the last minute, and she was so grateful that the house came with a pack and play, and other thoughtful touches for infants. We definitely will be back and want to stay longer!
