    It is such a spacious, comfortable, and clean space. We loved that it was a 6 minute drive to down town, but tucked away in privacy. Will definitely book again this summer. Thank you!

    Our stay was fantastic! The house was exceptional!! Huge kitchen area and the open design was quite comfy, Nice rec/exercise room. Way more house my wife and I needed this time, but couldn't beat the price. Hot tub was clean and ready to go. The house was located on a nice quiet cul-de-sac and perfectly situated to support our plan of running south to Benton Harbor and north to Saugatuck hitting every beach in between. Had a wonderful time. Host (Aaron) was awesome in communication. They have done a very nice job on this place. Felt like we were relaxing in our own home. We will be back to stay.

    Great place, cool spot by the water. The trail down to the water is awesome with a sweet little waterside porch. Spacious house. It is right on the highway, so it is pretty loud outside the house. Owner was great and very responsive.

    Our family had an amazing experience here, we loved everything from the spacious and clean home to the gorgeous outdoor oasis. My kids loved the hot tub and game room and kayaks on site made a very easy and enjoyable trip down the Black River that is literally feet from your front door. Highly recommend staying at this property! We will be returning.

    Cozy and quiet retreat in South Haven, MI. Plenty of room to spread out and not be on top of one another, but still a cozy vibe in a quiet secluded road.

    This is one of the nicest properties we have stayed at in a while. It had everything you could ask for…. Comfy Beds, Hot Tub, Close to Town, Melt Away Couches (Super Comfy) and so much more. Do yourself a favor and stay here! I know we will be back!
