The property was beautiful, well appointed kitchen, very clean! A family favorite was to just watch the river go by out the beautiful windows! It soon became a favorite of our dog and grandson too! This property is close to shopping and attractions yet in a quiet neighborhood! About 20 minutes from Silver Beach County Park in Saint Joseph, a great way to spend a day!

We were in town for my son's wedding in Benton Harbor. We loved our mornings in front of the floor to ceiling windows in the living room watching the fog come off the river and morning coffee. We slept great in the master bedroom and had an overall great stay.

The house was very nice on the inside. The location was great and the view was magnificent. There was ample towels and bedding for our stay. The only negative I have is the outside could have used a good cleaning. The screened in patio was covered with dust and spider webs. The front entrance area was dusty and full of spider webs. The only reason I’m pointing out the outside conditions are because we are outside people. I would definitely rent again. I would have given a 5 star rating if the outside was half as good as the inside.

About the host

Hosted by James Ihssen

Host profile image
James and Carrie have spent their careers in real estate and interior design, and they have combined their talents to create the perfect family retreat. With their
two small kids they enjoy all the outdoor activities that St. Joseph has to offer. We are excited for you to enjoy our house on the river! We love the location, peaceful and serene, yet close to downtown and the beaches. The Picture is my Daughter on the Private Dock with a Beautiful Sunset in the background.

Why they chose this property

This House has been remodeled top to bottom! This is a very unique place to make memories! We are hoping that you would like to return year after year! A Very Quiet Residential Street offering peace and privacy. Just a short drive to numerous Lake Michigan Beaches and Wineries and Downtown St Joseph!

What makes this property unique

There is a concrete riverwalk that runs the entire length of the property, including the 1/2 acre side lot. It is well lit for night time fishing and docking of boats. There is a boat launch on the property for direct access to the river. The 1/2 Acre lot enhances privacy and allow for additional camping and activities. Ask about RV Parking (Electrical and Water Hookups, No Sewer). We Are Pet Friendly!
