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.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We spent a geat week at the Cozy Cottage in St. Joseph Michigan. We had a great time, the cottage was perfect and Greg the host was very accommodating and very timely with his response to the few questions we had. There is a nice view of Lake Michigan which is absolutely gorgeous. Downtown St. Joseph is very quaint whis shops and restaurants. I would recommend the Cozy cottage to anyone traveling to St. Joseph for a vacation.

This was a great place to stay for the holiday weekend. The location was just perfect (10 mins to St. Joseph, 30 mins to New Buffalo, and approx. 50 mins to Saugatuck) and even though it rained a couple of the mornings, the evenings were nice enough to walk to the lake (a whole 3 mins!) and enjoy the view.

This house is very comfortable for a party of six. There is a bathroom on each floor and a door to the stairs which reduces the noise transmission. The orientation of the windows gives you a lake view. The kitchen is well stocked including a supply of non perishable items and condiments. The host was great to communicate with.

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.
