Fantastic and beautiful property and home! We had a wonderful trip. House was exactly as pictured and the absolute cleanest rental we have been to. Very well maintained and had everything we could possibly need. We fished and caught drum, channel cats, and bluegill, such a relaxing place to be. The owners are wonderful, great communication and very nice. We will 100% stay here again if back to the area. Definitely recommend the home and owners. Thank you we had an amazing stay!

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.

GREAT Vacation House!

My family and I absolutely loved staying in this house, the backyard was perfect for the kids, the house was very clean and we loved all of the extra spaces to relax and hang out after a fun-filled day out. It was our favorite house we have ever stayed out. Our only improvements would be that there was no broom and we ran out of toilet paper. Thanks so much, we really enjoyed every minute at this house!

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.
