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.

St. Joseph MI, Our happy place

The house we rented was a beautiful location with lakeside views. Great neighborhood for walking. The house was well stocked with paper products, towels, soaps and cleaning supplies. The host treated us to delicious cookies and a birthday cake for my husband. We had 6 adults and two children. Enough room for all of us. Would definitely stay again.

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.
