Cozy Cottage with view of Lake Michigan

DEEP MONTHLY DISCOUNTS ARE AVAILABLE NOVEMBER THROUGH APRIL.
Please contact us if you are interested. Due to site limitations, we are not able to reflect these discounts in our VRBO listing.
This cozy cottage is located in a quaint St. Joseph neighborhood with breath-taking views of Lake Michigan (200 feet from bluff). It is within walking distance to one of several beaches the area has to offer and is minutes from Downtown Saint Joseph which offers fun activities for the family, great restaurants and the nationally acclaimed Harbor Shores golf course which has hosted the Senior PGA championship. The property is only 50 minutes away from Notre Dame Stadium and is a great option if you're planning a football weekend. In most cases during football season, we are able to waive the 4 night minimum stay.

The renovated cottage includes a beautiful stone patio which is a perfect place to relax and watch the sunset. The kitchen is equipped with state-of-the- art appliances, granite counter-tops and oak flooring. The nautical themed living room opens up to a cozy sun-room facing the lake. The four bedrooms each sleep two. Off the kitchen there is a sliding door to a back deck with views of the lake and a gas grill

A security camera is located on the garage to monitor driveway for activity.

A lovely cottage by the lake

A great place to stay. The cottage was impeccably clean and well furnished, and full of thoughtful touches to make our stay comfortable, such as a basket of blankets and a charging station in the living room.

Best Vrbo House

We stayed with another family, and we always use Vrbo. We all agreed that this was our favorite home we have ever stayed in on vacation! The location was perfect, the house had a wonderful, cozy feel, and there was so much space to enjoy. We were so lucky to find this spot, it is a gem!

Cute Cottage with a Great Location

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was perfect for family dinners and game nights. We loved that we could walk down the street to view the sunset every night. The house was clean and the property manager was excellent at communicating with us. It was close to the beach and downtown and was kid-friendly. We definitely recommend the cottage and look forward to renting it again.

Fun for All

We had a family get together as my brother has a place in St. Joe’s. This cottage is a warm and comfy space with lots of areas for chilling with wine and a view! We also visited many rooftop restaurants, beaches and antiquing along Red Arrow Highway. Gorgeous Lake Michigan!

Lake Michigan Getaway

My family and I always look to rent a different house for our summer vacations to Lake Michigan. The decision was unanimous, this house was everyone's favorite. We were less than a five minute drive to Silver Beach or downtown St Joseph. We were also able to walk down the quiet neighborhood streets and watch the sunsets over the lake in the evening.
