Scenic 5-star retreat located on the Black River. Just minutes to the beaches.
If you enjoy the beach, snowmobiling, bicycling, kayaking and fishing; the Black River Landing is your retreat.
Our beautifully decorated and CLEAN home is perfect for a family vacation. The Black River Landing is nestled on a 1.8 acre property on the Black River. Opposite the Landing and across the river is the Kal-Haven Trail and nature board walk. You will surely enjoy the tranquil view. Less than 2 miles away are the gorgeous beaches, Downtown and the picturesque South Haven Pier. Whether you want a day of fun in the sun or a relaxing sunset, the beaches are just minutes away.
For the snowmobiler or bicyclist, 1/4 mile from the Landing is the Kal-Haven Trailhead.
Boats, jet skis, kayaks, bikes and scooters are available nearby for rent. Kayaks and canoes are welcome and can be beached on site. We do not have a dock at this time for boats and jet skis.
While at the Landing, the family can go fishing, enjoy a game of ping pong, badminton, or cornhole. We have many outdoor games for the kids and a swing set. If it’s raining outside, NO WORRIES, we have two 50 inch TVs to kick back and enjoy a movie, and yes, we have WIFI for your computers.
Pull up a seat on either the upper or lower deck, grab a drink, relax and enjoy! At night, gather up the S'more’s and hang out at the fire pit! We have plenty of firewood for you to use.
The Landing has 3 bedrooms, 4 queen size beds, and two full bathrooms. The laundry room has a washer and dryer, iron, and ironing board. Your comfort and convenience are important to us.
Our kitchen is supplied with a complete set of cookware and bakeware, dinnerware, coffee pots, stove/oven, refrigerator, and microwave, as well as linens. We installed a reverse osmosis system for drinking water. We provide coffee pods, tea bags and sugar. Outside on the upper deck is a gas grill for those who enjoy barbequing and plenty of seating for family cookouts.
The lower deck is a perfect place to escape the sun and enjoy the shade. It is furnished with comfortable pieces; perfect for an afternoon siesta.
To accommodate the little ones, we have a collapsible crib with sheets and blankets, a high chair, portable playpen, baby bath, and child-proof dinnerware.
We will provide 1 set of bedlinens and 2 pillowcases for each bed. Each guest will be supplied with 2 sets of bath towels. Also, coffee, tea and sugar for your first-morning
The charming South Haven downtown district is less than 3 minutes away for your dining and shopping pleasure.
Walmart, Meijer, and many restaurants are conveniently nearby. Plus, the local favorite, Sherman Dairy Ice Cream Bar, is just minutes away.

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!
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!
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!!
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.
Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful place with us Dave and Robin! This was one of the nicest places that we have been to. Shout out to the cleaning crew…this place was so clean! The location was good as well….just a couple miles from town. The fire pit and the yard games that were provided were awesome! The view of the river was nice. I just can’t say enough about this place….so don’t miss out!

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.
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
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!
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♥️
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!
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.
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!
