2nd time visiting

Due to the positive, enjoyable stay from a previous trip, we returned again to this property. It did not disappoint, and my entire family really enjoys the thoughtful and welcoming accommodations included. One of the favorites out of all the VRBO listings I've used.

Just beautiful!

Excellent property! The house was fantastic. Plenty of space inside and out for both adults and kids to use and the home itself was gorgeous. The kitchen was one of the nicest and well stocked I’ve experienced in a rental. Beds were comfy and between the basement, living room, and wrap around porch there was plenty of sitting space for everyone. Hot tub was great in the evening and the dining room table had plenty of space for a family dinner for eight. Everyone wants to come back next year. Downtown South Haven and South Beach are perfectly convenient for a family vacation without having to stay in town and this property is on a 4 acre wooded lot with very little traffic so you never worry about the kids running around in the yard. I cannot recommend this property enough.

Memorable family stay

The main highlight was the absolutely stunning and serene surroundings. It was so lovely to step outside into our very own private park. Indoors, we were met with tasteful lodge decor and everything we needed for our trip: well equipped kitchen, plenty of space for our group of 7 to spread out, and so many options for activities/games/entertainment. The short drive into South Haven was perfect. We would return in a heartbeat! Many thanks to Nina for everything she has provided to make her guests feel at home!

We Return Often!

We absolutely love staying at Black Bear Lodge in South Haven! It’s a nice getaway for our family to relax, unwind, and get a break from electronics and the busyness of life. We have 5 children ranging in age from 8 to 15, and they love our stays there and really look forward to them! The hot tub is amazing, the views are spectacular, and the beds and couches are very comfortable and cozy. We love that stores and restaurants are close, and the beach is nearby if you need something extra to do in the warmer months. They have fiber internet so you can easily work from there or enjoy shows or video games for the kids too. We had great cellphone service in the house. We highly recommend the cabin to others, it’s one of our favorite stays!

Comfortable and beautiful cabin!

Do you have all day? Because that is how long it would take for me to tell you how awesome this cozy, comfortable, surrounded by lush nature, calming, and beautifully decorated this place is. Nina has thought of everything….down to the very last detail. I also appreciate her quick responses to my inquiries. Don’t hesitate to book this place!! Close to shopping, lake MI, wineries, restaurants and so much more❤️❤️

From the moment I turned into the driveway I knew it would be a stellar experience. Every possible finishing touch was addressed in the home. Plenty of activities and games for the guests. Beds are super comfortable. If I can, I would love to come back every year.

We loved staying at this Home! Our kids had plenty of things to do in the game area, hot tub, and enjoying the outdoors. Cabin was spacious! Nice area on the porch to sit and enjoy being outdoors. Beautiful sounds of nature! Would defined stay again. Provided shampoo and conditioner. Also provided spices and coffee. Nice place to stay! 5 beds and 3 bedrooms plus a bathroom on each level.

The BEST Family Getaway!

Nina’s cabin is amazing! Immaculately clean, thoughtfully supplied with items you need for a wonderful stay, and so cozy! Our 5 kids absolutely loved the play areas downstairs, the arcade machine, and most importantly the hot tub! Even in freezing temps it was so easy to enjoy the delightful hot tub and walk up the stairs back into the cabin! The beds and pillows were so comfortable and the bedding was cozy. The rooms were so spacious! We greatly appreciated the on-site laundry and the wonderful whirlpool tub! She was also so quick to respond when I mixed up our door code and needed help. This is definitely our favorite vacation rental and we can’t wait to go back! Thank you Nina for creating such a cozy and wonderful vacation spot!

Wonderful Accommodating Place!

We had a fabulous time at the Black Bear Cabin! It was everything we hoped for......clean, very well provisioned with plenty of space for everyone. The game room downstairs (where 'Every' game worked!), as well as the nice hot tub, were big hits with my two granddaughters! The host (Nina) was very good at communicating and responding, and she was very helpful with anything we needed! We will definitely visit the Black Bear Lodge in South Haven, MI again!! 👍🏼👍🏼

Great place for a family getaway

The cabin was beautiful and fully stocked with everything we needed for the long weekend (towels and linens, kitchen utensils, entertainment, etc), and the location was perfect for our family getaway in South Haven - secluded but still close to the beach / downtown area. The host was very responsive and friendly.

Fantastic getaway with the family

Our family had such a terrific time at this rental! The house was spotless and beautiful, with plenty of room to spread out when needed but be together when we wanted. The property was also gorgeous, lots of space for the kids to run around, the hot tub was perfect for the cool summer nights. It was about a 10 minute drive to downtown South Haven, which was perfect for us. We've stayed in downtown South Haven in the past and have found that we needed to drive everywhere anyways, so the proximity of this property was no problem for us. Nina was extremely responsive and made sure that we were settled and comfortable upon our arrival, which we really appreciated. I would highly recommend staying at this rental property and we'd definitely stay again for our next trip!

It was a perfect place to go for a family get away. We loved how cozy it was for all of us. It fit 8 people well. The kitchen was nice because it had everything stocked that we needed for making dinner! Definitely would recommend to anyone looking to get away.
