About this property

New Remodel on Black River with Hot Tub, Kayaks, Gym, Fireplace, & Game Room

The River Retreat is a private 2-acre South Haven getaway along the scenic Black River, just 1 mile from downtown dining, shops, beaches, the marina, and local attractions. It gives families and groups the best of both worlds: a quiet nature setting with fast access to Lake Michigan, downtown South Haven, trails, restaurants, and year-round activities.

Outside is where the stay feels different. Relax in the private hot tub, grill on the large deck, gather around the fire pit, stretch out on the loungers, unwind in the hammocks, or enjoy outdoor meals surrounded by the peaceful Black River setting. Kayak rentals are available by request, with paddles and life jackets included.

Inside, the home is built for easy group stays with a comfortable one-level layout, fully stocked kitchen, laundry, fast WiFi, Roku TVs, YouTube TV, central heating and cooling, cozy fireplace, game room, ping pong table, and home gym with dumbbells, bench, exercise bike, yoga mats, and foam rollers.

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!

Cozy Retreat in South Haven

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.

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.

Amazing house with all the amenities and great location, super clean and beautiful scenery!

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.

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.

About the host

Host profile image
As a South Haven local born and raised, I love sharing the beauty of this laketown with families and travelers alike. I look forward to hosting guests each week and take pride in helping others create wonderful memories here

Why they chose this property

was born right here in the local hospital and have spent my life enjoying everything South Haven has to offer. It’s a place that means so much to me, and I’m excited to help others discover the beauty, charm, and memories waiting to be made here.

What makes this property unique

This riverfront home has been a passion project. I’ve transformed a ranch-style house on nearly two acres into a private getaway designed for active families. It offers a unique balance of space, privacy, and convenience, perfect for those who want to enjoy the outdoors without being surrounded by crowds. Guests can relax by the fire pit, paddle the river with the included kayaks, or hop on the nearby Kal-Haven Trail for a scenic bike ride or walk. All of this is just minutes from downtown South Haven and the beach, making it an ideal spot to experience the best of summer.
