Beautiful lakeview home with all the amenities for a wonderful stay. Clean, lovely furnishings, fully loaded kitchen to prepare meals, firepit with plenty of wood to burn, and of course the amazing sunsets over the lake.
This is the most gorgeous house and we are so in love with it. It has all of the amenities needed for an amazing girls weekend and the view is spectacular.
Perfect retreat for our annual Girls Weekend. Stunning views of Lake Michigan was a special treat. The host was excellent and very helpful. Can’t wait to return next year.
Great restoration of a home overlooking the Lake. Only one turn away from the beach!! Host has coffee, water, and Izze’s and lots of extras! Bed was super comfy!
Girlfriend getaway was a blast! Property was gorgeous, very clean, lots of room, awesome lake view and great amenities. Property owner was accommodating, had great communication and a pleasure to work with. The weekend was pure joy!
Beautiful and updated house. Breathtaking view of Lake Michigan. Location of the house is near shops, restaurants and the beach. My friends and I discussed making this location our annual wine trip. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!
Beautiful home, very well stocked with kitchen/pantry stuff, linens, towels, etc. Everthing you may need. Well maintained home and very comfortable. Host is very responsive to messages.
We had the best stay over Labor Day weekend! We couldn’t have asked more from the house, hosts, or location. The house is spectacular with breathtaking lake views and amazing sunsets by the fire. We highly recommend thus property to others! Thank you to the hosts, for all the small touches. We look forward to coming back again.
We truly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property! The house is spacious with top of the line decor and comfortable furniture. The coffee bar and mini-fridge stocked with water was a nice touch that helps set this place above other rentals. The view of the lake is amazing and we found ourselves just wanting to sit on the deck and around the fire pit watching the boats.
This property was beautiful! It looked even better in person and I didn’t know that was even possible! lol! The host was amazing and responded promptly whenever I needed help or had a question. I would recommend this home 1000x over!
Atleast once a year, we rent a place somewhere in michigan for a summer family vacation. This home was the BEST we have ever stayed in! Not only is the home beautifully decorated and fully stocked with everything you could possibly need, the views of lake michigan are next level! If you love the lake and watching sunsets this place will not disappoint! I would recommend this property to anyone and hope to stay here again in the future!
We had a wonderful weekend! We are a family of 5 adults and two teens. This house was perfect for us. We loved the hot tub and beautiful sunset views. We hiked at van buren state park and ice skated at John and Dede ice arena. Lots of cute places in st joe! We especially loved breakfast at copper pot! Would love to come again!
Can't rave enough about this property, it was so beautiful, inside and out! The hosts thought about absolutely everything and everything was petfect! Spacious, clean, comfortable and stellar views! The stairs to the beach is worth the effort, and we would have done them every day if it wasn't 90 degrees outside. We would love to come back again because its also close to St. Joseph, Coloma, Watervliet, and so much more. Thank you for making this a perfect getaway.
We booked the house for the weekend for my daughter's wedding in St. Joe. The house is amazing, views are incredible, and the owners have thought of every detail. It made our special weekend even more memorable and I give it an overall rating of 10. It is newly renovated and the pictures are accurate to what we saw upon arrival. Very clean and well maintained. The decorating was top notch and the views and access to the beach was the cherry on top.
Enjoyed time with family. The house is beautifully decorated and is well appointed with everything you need. Great air-conditioning. Beds are very comfortable and neighborhood is quiet. Amazing lake views with beautiful sunsets. Loved strolling on beach, resting in the beach chairs and listing to the waves. We also enjoyed South Haven which is only about a 30 min. beautiful drive on M-63 N /Blue Star Hwy. Also had delicious ice cream at Sherman’s. I would definitely return.
This house was absolutely wonderful. It was clean, beautifully decorated, and the views are incredible. All of this plus a hot tub and a short walk down the stairs to the beach. The property has everything! We had young kids with us and they loved the board games and binoculars, and watching movies in the basement room. The adults enjoyed grilling out, relaxing in the hot tub, and watching the sunsets. The host was very responsive and has a booklet at the house with all the details you need for a great trip. We would love to stay here again in the future!
We had the best time in this beautiful lake front home!
We had an outstanding stay at this beautiful home while in the area for our son’s graduation from Notre Dame. Although it was about a 45-minute drive to campus, it was an easy drive and absolutely worth it for the incredible lake views.The home was beautifully appointed, clean, and very comfortable for our entire family. It had everything we needed and more, with thoughtful touches throughout that made us feel right at home. The hot tub was a fantastic bonus—perfect for relaxing after busy days of celebration.We’re so glad we chose this property and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommended!
We had an incredible stay at this beautiful home on Lake Michigan in Benton Harbor. The location is absolutely ideal. It was peaceful, private, and just steps from the shoreline with breathtaking views, especially at sunset. The house itself was spotless upon arrival and clearly very well cared for. It was also exceptionally well appointed—everything we needed was already there, from kitchen supplies to beach gear and cozy linens.We especially appreciated how thoughtfully everything was set up for guests’ comfort. It truly felt like a home away from home. And the owner was fantastic—communicative, accommodating, and a pleasure to work with from start to finish.Highly recommend this property for anyone looking to relax, recharge, and enjoy all the beauty Lake Michigan has to offer. We can’t wait to come back!
Hidden and Gorgeous Luxury Gem with Views, Amenities and more!
We cannot say enough about this beautiful home. We were fortunate enough to discover it as a new listing on VRBO for a last minute trip to Lake Michigan. The house has been renovated throughout and everything was pristine, new and high quality. We could not have felt more at home. The bathrooms were so clean and well designed. The bedroom setup worked perfectly for our crew, with one room having a bunk setup. The large king bedroom is hard to put into words as it has breathtaking views of the lake and has it's own "living room" space to sit and relax. The owners were very responsive to questions and accomodating in so many ways. We'd love to return, but we're pretty sure this place is going to be in high demand as other renters discover it. Thank you so much Jeremy and family!
