📍Ideal Lakefront Location, Near Downtown South Haven

Blackstone on the Bluff is a wonderfully peaceful retreat while still being only a 10 minute drive into town. Take a step back in time with the picturesque views from the downtown strip looking into the harbor where you'll see boats pull in and out from Lake Michigan. This "old timey" town is packed with cute shops and restaurants. From the classic fudge/ice cream parlors of western Michigan to wonderful sushi restaurants, your palate is certain to be satiated with whatever you and your guests choose. Forgot your sweater for those breezy nights? Pick up some apparel from one of the many shops and local boutique in town. Head outdoors and be instantly filled with the woodsy paradise that surrounds the area. Take a bike ride or stroll down the famous Kal-Haven Trail. Connecting Kalamazoo and South Haven, this 35 mile trail is said to be one of the best in Michigan. With its smooth terrain and gorgeous views, it earns this title. Looking for adventure? Rent an ATV and take to the trails in a more invigorating way or take to the water with a memorable sunset sailing experience.

This is seasonal and unavailable from September through May. The ladder down may not be suitable for all guests. It is steep and requires holding onto the rails to go up and down.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We loved this property! The historic home had great personality and decor. It felt very spacious. The kitchen is large and well-appointed. The back porch is fantastic! We spent lots of time there watching amazing sunsets, drinking morning coffee, and playing cards. South Haven, Douglas, and Saugatuck are all nearby, all with great restaurants, shops, beaches, etc. While the beach access presented a physical challenge for some in our party, we all ended up really appreciating the Dutch sand ladder and enjoyed the adventure (and the workout!). Checkin and checkout were both smooth and seamless with great communication and responsiveness. Highly recommend and looking forward to our next stay!
