Clean, modern, great water pressure, lots of nice thoughtful amenities. This was a wonderful stay in a quiet neighborhood. We stayed with two other couples and never felt crowded. Two bedrooms downstairs, one with bathroom en-suite. The upstairs has an open loft with beds and a master suite. The fire-pit was great, wood on site. Hot tub felt amazing and instructions were helpful. Even the concrete floors had heat in them so your feet didn’t get too chilly. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!!!

The house is absolutely gorgeous and the host has thought of every single way to provide for guests. The back patio is beautiful with the fire pit, lights, and hot tub. The bed linens were SO comfortable and the water pressure in the showers was amazing. It was the perfect space for our crew, we’re already dreaming of a repeat stay! It was also by close to Weko Beach and not far at all from St Joe. We loved having the beach chairs and towels to use, as well. The host was extremely responsive and kind. Thank you!!

We had a wonderful time. Had a surprise 40th weekend for my bestie! The house had everything we needed. Had a couple small issues, texted the homeowners and they responded quickly. The steam shower upstairs is AMAZING! I used it 3 times while I was there!!

Big Blue for the win!

The house is large and easily housed 6 of us-we didn't even use all sleeping areas. We spent more time staying in then going out because we really enjoyed being there. The hot tub is really nice and so is the fire pit. We had lots of privacy in the back yard and enjoyed watching the wildlife visiting. The location is nice because you are close to Stevensville's downtown and not far from St. Joseph. All 3 bathrooms are stocked with high quality soaps, shampoo, and conditioner. The showers are very modern. We had such a great time and we are already planning our next trip!

We celebrated my Dad's 81st birthday. The house was perfect for sitting outside for dinner and enjoying conversation. Stevensville is only minutes away with numerous dining options as well. We couldn't ask for a better location. The host was responsive and direction on check in and check out were clear and easy.
