About this property

The Shire - "There's some good in the world." Winery/Brewery tours available

Nestled on five secluded, tree-lined acres, with a pond, waterfall, fire pit, tree swing, basketball court and walking trails, The Shire feels a million miles away from it all - but isn't! We are only minutes away from wineries, breweries, amazing beaches, restaurants and shopping. (Notre Dame is an easy 30 minute drive).

Southwest Michigan is a beautiful place to live!

We'd LOVE to share it with you.

This is a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom 1,100 apartment located on the backside of the outbuilding on our property - completely out of the sight lines to our home which is about 50 yards away.

We have a pond with a waterfall and a deck to enjoy both. Enjoy the fire pit and tree swing, walking trails and 2 acre open field. There is a 1/2 court basketball, beach supplies in the front closet.

Mike and Lisa's property was so lovely. An absolutely perfect place for a getaway if you're looking for a peaceful and quiet spot. My husband and I and our friends were pleased and very much enjoyed our stay here. Our only regret was not getting to meet Mike and Lisa personally. Highly recommend the Shire.

Getaway weekend

We had a group of four for a wine tasting getaway. Loved the property. The pond and fire pit areas are peaceful. The host left a book with restaurants/attractions nearby. We enjoyed our stay!

Nice Place to stay

Was a very nice place to stay with a nice pond and bon fire. Communication was great and they let us drop our cars off before check in time so we could start our day.

Beautiful country setting, so peaceful, yet just 10 minutes to local stores and restaurants. It was nice having our private drive to the main road, The rental was spotlessly clean with all the amenities you could need. We were about 15 minutes from Saint Joseph's restaurants and shops. Tiscornia Beach is what dreams are made of. Hope to return in the future.

Family vacation

I was blown away by how awesome it was. From the beautiful area to the fan favorite pingpong table we had a blast!! We would 100 percent stay at The Shire again! The hosts are amazing people and very friendly!! Everything was in driving distance which was great. My family had a blast feeding the fish and making s'mores by the campfire.

Fourth of July

We stayed Friday through Sunday. It was comfortable, very nice, well stocked, beautiful property and great location. Peaceful country location and yet close to lake Michigan and many restaurants and stores within a few miles. Beautiful fire pit area next to the pond that has string lights. Just a very relaxing, comfortable, well maintained and truly nice place!!!
