Absolutely stunning views with a private beach and a fully stocked house and a few nice welcoming gifts on the table. Found tons of beach glass and cool rocks on the beach and the fires at night where the best!
Great home with beautiful views! Enjoyed lovely sunsets every night. Had all our meals outdoors--great patio area. Beautiful, up to date kitchen. A/C in bedrooms--definitely a plus, as it was quite hot when we were there. Great location to beaches, hiking, wineries, u-pick farms. Highly recommended.
The home was beautiful and the view was breathtaking. Access to the beach was a bit challenging. The stairs are very steep and difficult to transport toddlers down. Overall our stay was perfect and we plan to return in the future.

We set out on our trip with high expectations and when we got to the property, reality came crashing down. The “beach access” is at the end of 160 precariously placed stairs of different angles and build quality. The railings are single 2x4’s attached with a couple nails each. They are at varying heights as well, so a child is not able to reach the rail in some spots. After venturing down once and falling along the way, we decided this was not safe for our children. We had difficulty sleeping as the AC units in every room were very loud. One in particular was making an awful noise all night and we were not able to stay asleep. In the morning, we took showers. The shower was gross and in poor condition. More of a hunting cabin vibe to this place than a vacation home. We also found an abundance of poison ivy all around the property.The owners offered us to use the neighbors stairs, but that is awfully intrusive and not what we paid top dollar for. So we declined. We went and stayed in a hotel while they figured it out. We got offered another property of theirs, which was much nicer, but no beach access. I asked for a refund on the nights we stayed in a hotel. Instead of doing that, they kicked us out a day earlier than we planned.Overall, would not stay here again. The money we paid would have been better spent some where else. Do not recommend for any one as it is not a safe or nice place. The lack of recent reviews is a red flag I should have recognized.
Everything was great. The owner was responsive when I locked myself out. Responded in less than 5 minutes. House and views are as depicted in the pictures.
Wonderful early morning and spectacular susnsets.
I was very happy that there were cooking units in the bedrooms.
The house seems secluded in a woodsy area so take some bug spray.
Only note to owner. Beach access is limited as the stairs are in the midst of repairs and need sturdy railing all the way down.
I loved it and would stay there again!!
We had the best stay at this place. The location was gorgeous. Perfect sunset and sunrise. The hosts recommended the local pizza place & it was great. Will stay again. Thank you hosts for an amazing place for us to celebrate a quite birthday weekend getaway
The Lake Michigan views are fantastic. Stayed with our extended family including two grandchildren. Very comfortable and quiet sleeping. Plenty of good seating both inside and out. Kitchen is equipped with updated appliances and cabinets. We had a campfire and roasted s’mores, listening to and watching birds while awaiting sunset. St Joseph area has a great charm with many family activities available. The setting is very private.
This home is lovely, and the lake views are wonderful, sunsets are spectacular! It was comfy for our Family group of five and a toddler. It was very clean, which was a blessing with a little one. Decor was pleasing. Kitchen was well equipped and up to date. We knew 1.5 baths would be a challenge for our group going in, but this was at the top of our price point, so we made it work, and the main bath had a large double vanity, so it worked out for us. Plenty of towels etc for our group. Enjoyed dinners and morning coffee on the deck, again, what a view!! Good location, a short hop in the car to many places and the beach. A bit rural & beautiful, not many walkable options from the house. Spent lots of time in nearby Saint Joseph. So many options to explore. Really enjoyed our first visit to Michigan and the lake! (Our wish list for this home-washer/dryer, better internet service)
