Black River is a family-owned short-term rental co-hosting company. We run every part of your furnished property, from the first inquiry to the last review, so it earns more without taking up your time.
The reason we exist
It started with our son. It grew because we cared.
Black River began as a way for our family to earn dependable income to help care for our son Jack, who is disabled. We ran that first property with everything we had, because what it paid for mattered. Guests noticed. Owners started asking how we did it. "How we did it" quietly became a company.

This month we studied 1,006 active short-term rentals across Macomb, St. Clair, Oakland, and Wayne counties. Here is what we found: most management companies get worse as they grow. We did not.
What we do
From bookings and guest communication to pricing, cleaning, maintenance, and monthly reporting. You collect the income. We handle the rest.

Learn more →The bookings Airbnb cannot give you
Most managers stop at Airbnb. We also place traveling nurses, corporate relocations, and insurance housing families. Longer stays, fewer turnovers, steadier income for you.
Your property is listed where traveling nurses and relocating professionals actually book, filling weekday and off-season gaps a vacation calendar leaves empty.
When a family's home is damaged, their insurance pays for furnished housing at premium rates, for months at a time. We work directly with adjusters to place them.
One 60-day guest means one turnover instead of twelve. Longer stays protect your property and smooth your monthly payout, even through a Michigan winter.
What sets us apart
We are family-owned and based right here in Michigan. No call centers, no outsourced support. Every home is treated like our own, and we pair that attention with real operational systems, which is how we deliver five-star stays at scale.
How it works
Most owners go from discovery call to a live listing in under three weeks.
We learn about your property and your goals, and answer every question. No pressure, no obligation.
We tour the property, build a revenue projection, and design your custom setup and pricing plan.
Staging, photography, and listing creation across Airbnb, VRBO, and direct channels. All handled.
You receive monthly statements and direct deposits. We handle every guest, every cleaner, every detail.
Owners on working with us
When we turned the loft above our garage into an Airbnb, meeting Dan was fate. We have been booked solid for 18 months, and when I say they work hard for us, that is an understatement. Five star plus.
Black River has been a game-changer. Managing my lake house used to be stressful. Now I do not worry about a thing. Nicole and Dan treat it like their own, and the bookings have not stopped since they took over.
