Cozy Cottage with view of Lake Michigan

DEEP MONTHLY DISCOUNTS ARE AVAILABLE NOVEMBER THROUGH APRIL.
Please contact us if you are interested. Due to site limitations, we are not able to reflect these discounts in our VRBO listing.
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.

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.

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.

The property was great and so was the location. The only issue we had were ants in the kitchen. However, the owner was very responsive.

Response from VrboOwner on 15 Sept 2025
Sorry about the ants. That hasn’t happened to us before. We’re very careful and hesitant to use any pesticides but the problem has been taken care of. We will warn renters to be very careful about not leaving food out on tables and counters

Best Vrbo House

We stayed with another family, and we always use Vrbo. We all agreed that this was our favorite home we have ever stayed in on vacation! The location was perfect, the house had a wonderful, cozy feel, and there was so much space to enjoy. We were so lucky to find this spot, it is a gem!

St. Joseph MI, Our happy place

The house we rented was a beautiful location with lakeside views. Great neighborhood for walking. The house was well stocked with paper products, towels, soaps and cleaning supplies. The host treated us to delicious cookies and a birthday cake for my husband. We had 6 adults and two children. Enough room for all of us. Would definitely stay again.
