About this property

Fun for the whole family, a romantic get-a-way or girls weekend. We have it all

PICK ME! PICK ME! Chip Loves company. This cute little cottage is nestled in between St. Joseph (9 miles south) and South Haven(12 miles north) along the Lake Michigan shoreline. It is one mile south of Roadside park and one mile north of Hagar Park. These public beaches are surprisingly secluded and wooded in what guests have described as a diamond in the rough. There's plenty to do in both directions. We just installed a 3 way mini split heat and air and a new deck in front. We are NOT large enough for parties inside or outside. We have taken great pride and care to create an experience for our guests that will create happy memories of the cottage by the big Lake.
Guests' enjoy activities in the surrounding communities for year long adventures.
We have received high marks for decor, activities, amenities and cleanliness!
There is one camera in front as added security for the parking area.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

What a comfy little place. The beds were so cozy and the sound machines were a nice surprise. The property was so quiet and peaceful which was a perfect break in our long cross country road trip. Chip’s place had just the right amount of amenities without any unneeded clutter that you sometimes see in rentals. Perfect in so many ways and the proximity to Hagar Beach was great to catch the sunset (don’t miss). Host was friendly and left extra lights on for us as we came in late.

A nice quiet place to stay if visiting nearby St. Joseph. We also had close by access to some smaller, less crowded beaches that were nice. Overall, it was a great stay.

There must have been a misunderstanding. Our listing states "no pets". They brought a small dog and there was dog hair ALL over everything!! They also arrived at 2:30 when check in is 3pm. Fortunely, we were cleaned and ready. House rules were broken and cost extra time and money to clean up all of the dog hair.

Perfect getaway weekend

My sister and I stayed here for a relaxing weekend. The house was perfect and had literally everything we needed. The location was great as well. The smores were the perfect touch to end our evenings by the fire.

Very cute, clean and comfortable! All the extras were present and needed. The outside could use tiny touches of refreshing but this was one of our favorite places we’ve stayed. We like how it’s close to St. Joseph, Coloma and South Haven.

Quiet, cozy, clean, well-equipped cottage. Close to activities we had planned. Communication was promptly answered on a couple things that came up. Would definitely stay here again if in the area. Love the bear carving on the deck! Chip’s Place is the place to stay.

Very quaint cottage. Quiet, very clean and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable . At first look you might think it is small , but there were 4 adults and we had plenty of room. The price was very affordable as well

Just what we were looking for

A friend and I had a weekend stay to relax. It was quiet, clean and exactly as represented. The location was perfect for all of our activities; beach, St.Joe's farmer's market, shops, restaurants and wineries.
