Fantastic stay for our family of four! The location was perfect and the house itself was wonderful. I appreciate the abundance of towels available and access to the clubhouse where we were able to spend a few hours cooling off in the pool and relaxing our exhausted bodies in the hot tub. Thanks for sharing the house with us!

We traveled here from Southern Ohio to attend our granddaughter's dance competition in Benton Harbor. Stayed Thursday to Monday. Home is only 5 minutes from Silver Beach on beautiful Lake Michigan....but we couldn't leave the peace and view from the back porch of this home! I can't say enough about this spacious home.

Fantastic location and property.

We had a great time at this property. We went with a two and five year old in addition to two grandparents. Very kid friendly property with plenty of toys for the kids. The deck was fantastic for the kids as it is fenced in and a beautiful setting overlooking the river. Hope to stay again!

Family reunion

Our family (5 adults and 1 teen) were in St Joe for a family reunion. We stayed at this property for 2 days. We loved the location and ability to sit on the deck watching boats go up and down the river. This is a well appointed property, very quiet for a holiday weekend (May 23-25). We would highly recommend a stay here.
