Last minute getaway available this weekend!!

Where else do you have such an easy walk to the greatest beach in the Midwest and to downtown St. Joseph for ice cream, dining and shopping? Come in and enjoy Blue Spruce Haven, our cozy “cottage-within-a-house” at the prime corner of Lake Boulevard and Price Steet. The house sits on the bluff above Lake Michigan, and it is a quick walk down to Silver Beach Park.

Silver Beach is consistently rated as one of top “family-friendly” beaches in the U.S., and is known for its wide, clean sands, spacious bathhouses and the near-by historic carousel and refreshing Compass Fountain sprinkler park. New this year is a playground/climbing gym and an upgraded concession and convenience stand.

Our summer rental unit is entirely self-contained, with its own outside entrance, laundry room, garage, and driveway. It has two bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with two twin beds. A sunroom with a large bay window and original stained glass affords a cozy retreat in which to enjoy a cup of coffee or read a book. The living room provides ample seating and a smart TV with cable service (bring your own streaming device).i The bathroom features a full-size shower and tub. The kitchen has a dishwasher, a microwave, a full-sized oven and stove, a drip coffee maker, and a toaster oven. The unit has its own washer and dryer, beach chairs, umbrellas, and lots of toys. We even provide two large wagons to haul all your stuff and the kids to the beach!

Comfortable, Classy and Casual!
