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.

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 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 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.

Black River

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!
