This was our first day here and it was so wonderful we booked it for 3 more days spacious kitchen with a table for four My room was very comfortable and I enjoy the outside patio
The price for a weekend at this property is what drew me to it but the property, the amenities and great hosts are what will bring us back. Five stars on all of it- cleanliness, host, amenities, kid friendly, location.
The home itself is very clean and thoughtfully cared for - we really enjoyed the space. The public access to the lake is a very short walk off the property, and the included paddleboards were a lot of fun to take out onto the lake. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely visit again.
Everything was perfect for our quick Michigan vacation. We played games in the cute shed and made smores in the evening. Close enough to St Joseph without the crowds and price tag
It's wonderful little house too nice size rooms kitchen with a dining room table that will sit four comfortably Nice living room sitting area Nice porch what's comfortable chairs you can see a little bit of the lake but the trees around that place are absolutely amazing and gorgeous wonderful place to stay
We stayed a weekend. Wanted to spend a couple of days on the beach and there was nothing reasonable directly on the shore of Lake Michigan, but this location is within a half hour inland from st Joseph in a quiet town, which was very convenient.
The house seems recently updated and the hosts are very courteous . We enjoyed our stay

Thank you, Pavlo! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us! We look forward to hosting you again soon!
I recommend this place, not only for the cleanliness but the owners, who quickly responded to our questions. Also, this place has EVERYTHING you need. Everything was organized, so we didn't waist our time looking for stuff. They have everything signalized, so there is not trouble in turning the TV on or the WiFi. I love the baseman, that has a very comfortable couch and a gigant TV. It is a very quiet place. Thanks so much Gale and Angela!
