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 is plenty to do in both directions. Chip's Place is a cozy Family friendly cottage. 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. Chip's has one central air conditioner in the main room that keeps the entire cottage cool and both bedrooms have ceiling fans. 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.

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.
We had a wonderful stay at Dawn’s cottage! Everything was clean and it was perfect location between St. Joe and South Haven. Would definitely stay again!

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.
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.
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.
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.

Thank you so much for the little bear drawing. Wonderful likeness to Chip.
Dawn was a great host, so many thoughtful little touches, her cottage is immaculate and very comfortable. Location was great! Excited to stay there again.
Dawns cottage was perfect for my family’s Lake Michigan trip. It is centrally located near all the cute towns to visit and quick drives to all the beach accesses. It was super well stocked which was very nice of Dawn. Beds were super comfy too!
Check in and out was easy peasy. This was a home away from home with all the amenities you need. Very peaceful and accommodating. The photos are true. This cabin is beautiful. I will definitely share Chip's Place with friends. We enjoyed Hagar Park beach just down the road and DiMaggio's pizza nearby as well. It's a quick drive to St. Joseph. Highly recommend. Thanks Dawn!
Great location! Cute and very clean! Highly recommend 💕

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
Dawn's property was just right for our family of three, perfectly sized, thoughtful details, and a well stocked kitchen and laundry area. Dawn was very responsive to every message I sent. Coloma is an adorable area, off the beaten path of St Joe and Benton Harbor - we enjoyed every meal we had at various restaurants and Hagar Beach was perfectly sized for us. Thank you, Dawn!
