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.

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!

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.

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.
