This property is somehow even better in person! We were blown away by the beauty both inside and out.

Great place to relax!

We needed a place to stay for a wedding we were attending at one of the local wineries. It was so quiet and peaceful, a welcome place to stay away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to see everyone in 10 minutes or so. Lovely set up. We’ll be back!

From the time my family and I arrived, including our doggy, we all loved the house. The area was safe and great and a short drive from downtown St. Joseph, including the beach, and two awesome state parks: Grand Mere and Warren Dunes. Everything was dog-friendly. Highly recommended.

Peaceful retreat

We had a wonderful stay at the river house. There was an abundance of spaces to enjoy (both inside and out), comfortable beds, and a peaceful setting. We took walks along the road every day and enjoyed kayak rides in the river. It was close to the venue for our niece's wedding and only 20 minutes from beautiful beaches on Lake Michigan. I would definitely come back here to stay again, maybe for a fun girls' weekend. Thank you for sharing your home with us and our dog.

The house was perfect for our family to getaway. Quiet neighborhood and easy to find. The road is great for quiet walks. Lots of sitting areas to be together or find a spot to read. Highly recommend this house and location. The owner was very nice and easy to work with. We had no problems at all with this house.

Relaxing

We had such a nice, relaxing time. The house felt like home and had everything we needed. Such a beautiful street too. When we take another vaca up there we'll definitely stay at this place. We didn't take advantage of the kayaks so we HAVE to come back. Thank you for sharing your place.

Great stay!

We booked a last minute trip for our kids spring break. The property owner was amazing with communication. We had a great time. The house has great character and the girls loves playing with all the toys and reading all the books. It was a nice week of games and relaxing. Thank you for a great time!

Wedding Week

My girlfriends and I reserved this house for a wedding in town. The property was great, we enjoyed the view of the river and spacious home. Overall, we had a fantastic stay. The only things I noticed were that the stairs were spaced unevenly, and we couldn’t find the dumpster until the last night one appeared in the driveway.

Perfect trip

What a relaxing place to stay. The house felt like home. The view from the front deck and river deck was beautiful. The neighborhood was so peaceful and friendly. People walking by were very friendly. I would recommend this house to anyone wanting to get away to relax. The inside of the house was clean and comfortable. Lots of kitchen counter space, and large dining area. We had a wonderful time.

Charming house!

This house was absolutely charming. It was vintage yet updated. We loved the large living room and the comfortable furniture. It was very clean, spacious and had everything that you needed. The view to the river was incredible and so peaceful. There was a nice deck off of the kitchen area as well. Our grandkids enjoyed the play area and swings. The owner was prompt in responding to any questions we had.
