Wonderful place to stay, clean, quiet, plenty of room for our family of 7 to relax. Loved that it was away from the busy of downtown but was a short drive to everything.
Our family had a great time in South Haven. This home had everything we needed for a few days of fun in the sun. Robin was quick to respond to our question and very kind.
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.
The property was beautiful, clean, spacious, and well equipped! Great location and the hosts were very nice and responsive! Would definitely stay again, and highly recommend!
My family and I absolutely adored this property, it was impeccable. Great communication from the hosts! Wonderful location close to town. We took a kayak trip and loved floating by the property! We hope to stay here again in future years, loved it so much we know we want to come back!
Had a wonderful time! Property was perfect for a family vacation!!

This property was perfect for our family! Secluded, beautiful view, close to everything, and the house was nicely decorated with lots of amenities. We spent most of the stay outdoors just because of all the amenities.
We had a great time at this property. It was clean, spacious, and on a beautiful river. My son really enjoyed all the fun games there, like ping pong, cornhole, etc. Highly recommended!

Thank you for the kind review. We love to hear when the kids have fun and super glad your son did too! This 56 year old loves the games as well!!!!!
Beautiful house that is extremely clean and well taken care of!!!
Everything you need is provided for a Perfect vacation.
Great Location!!
Close enough to downtown to shop and visit all the wonderful restaurants. But far enough away for a peaceful and relaxing stay!!
100% recommend!
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.
The location is less than 10 minutes away from everything but also a very secluded location that has a beautiful family friendly yard to accommodate all age groups. The host is amazing and has thought of everything to insure your stay is perfect. Fantastic communication
You won’t regret booking this home when visiting South Haven! The home is spacious and CLEAN!! The property is beautiful and the location is within 5 minutes of the beach! We have nothing bad to say about our experience here! Loved it and we’ll be back!!
Great property and near to downtown. Any trip to town was just a few minutes away. Large yard with swings and games. Fire pit was nice to have. House is full of necessary items to enjoy your stay. Family enjoyed our stay.
Beautiful place, wonderful hosts. The home and property are beautiful and Robin and Dave have thought of everything to make the stay amazing. They were very welcoming and provided a perfect level of communication before and throughout our stay. We had such a great time. It was so hard to leave.
We had an amazing time! The house was clean and Robin was amazing. She kept us updated and was in contact if we needed anything. Check in and check out were a breeze!

Hi Dodie,
Thank you so much for the complements and we are thrilled that you had a great time!
Black River Landing was an awesome place for our ladies getaway! It was very spacious and everything about the house was just perfect. As each of us arrived and came in the door and looked around we said how beautiful it was and how great the amenities were. They had everything we needed and were great hosts!
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!
