This is one of our favorite places to stay. The view of the marina, and the manicured lawn and gardens, is quite wonderful. Very peaceful, and relaxing. And yet, you are but a 5 minute walk to downtown. It is a location, and a property, that can't be beat.

Cute apartment!

The perfect size and accommodations for our group of 4. We loved and enjoyed sitting out on the screened in porch over looking the Black River. If you ever stay here, make sure you check out their impressive flower garden. My only request would be to have more comfortable beds.

The Best of South Haven

After a wonderful stay last year, my husband and I returned for another lovely weekend in this beautifully appointed home away from home. You'll get a good night's sleep in the comfortable bedrooms and the kitchen is well stocked with cooking supplies. It is a special place, conveniently located for walking downtown or to the lake and with great views of the river from the comfort of the screened porch. We looked forward to our stay and hope to make it an annual visit!

Wonderful location

This apartment was perfect for our needs. Close to town and in a very quaint neighborhood. We had everything we needed . We also had access to beach chairs umbrellas coolers and anything we needed for beach days! Only slight complaint was the mattress on the queen bed but not a deal breaker. Had a wonderful time here drinking our coffee on the porch overlooking the harbor

Excellent location

We had an amazing two night stay here while I was in town for a HDPE event at Gingerman Raceway. The drive was less than 12 minutes to Gingerman and within walking distance of everything downtown South Haven including the beach. Terrific location, clean, and well maintained. Lovely garden as well. I also drive a lowered car and it was able to clear the driveway entry, just barely!

Great Host and Location!

My wife and I stayed in early August 2023 for one week. The unit was very clean and even better than described. The host family lives onsite and checked with us several times to make sure that everything was okay. This is in a great location that is close to the downtown and the beach. We really enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to book this unit again!
