The host was very prompt to answer all our questions about the house. HOst event worked with our caterer to make sure of the layout and kitchen appliances. We used the rental on night for our son's rehearsal dinner. The place is spacious as advertised, living room and dining areas are well organized, nicely settled in the woods at the end of the road. There was plenty of room for 10 of us to sleep with our dogs. People that came to the dinner were amazed at the rental saying this was better than theirs or the hotel they were at. Its a gem for a relaxing casual home to appreciate the St. Joseph and Benton Harbor area. Highly recommend!

The home was large and easily accommodated our family of 12. It was very private since it was nestled among the trees. We enjoyed the fire pit and the hot tub. We took advantage of multiple Michigan beaches. The kitchen was especially big, and it allowed for awesome family dinners when we ate there. It made for a memorable vacation experience for our family.

We had a group of 9 adults, an infant, and a small dog and we loved this house! Either a little walk to Hagar Beach or a 1 minute drive, perfect for spending the day at the beach, going for dinner, and then catching sunsets! Jean Klock is one of our favorite beaches and it was also a quick drive. The woods around the house are beautiful (warning-lots of mosquitos!) and the hot tub is perfect. Perfect great room upstairs for puzzles, games, meals, and hanging out. On the end of the lane so very private, you don’t notice the neighbors, and great parking space for our collection of cars. Plus a great location, just about 15 minutes from St Joe!

Pros: large house with plenty of space for our group of 9. Kitchen was well stocked, and was very quick access to Hagar Beach, 3 min drive. Cons: house was filthy at least a half inch of dust on all ceiling fans, light fixtures, and cold air return vents. Had a couple stained pillows on the beds with NO pillow cases on them. Had to kill a minimum of 50 black flies each of the 1st 2 days we were there. 3rd and 4th day it dwindled down to maybe 10 per day. Contacted host about filth and flies was told she will contact the cleaning service and that we could spray for flies if we wanted. Stated she was not aware of the fly issue before this. Also wooden floor throughout living room and kitchen felt grimy and when wiped with a wet paper towel it came up pure black. Obviously cleaning is not a priority at this house. Which is too bad because if it had been clean we would have rated it a 5.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad your group enjoyed the spacious layout, well-stocked kitchen, and convenient location near Hagar Beach. We take cleanliness very seriously and were disappointed to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. As soon as you contacted us, we immediately reached out to our cleaning supervisor to investigate the concerns you raised during your stay. Regarding the flies, this was the first report we had received. Because the home is located near a natural wetland area, seasonal fly hatches can occasionally occur unexpectedly. Since we are located about an hour away, we offered to reimburse you for insect spray from the nearby general store so the issue could be addressed immediately rather than requiring you to wait for someone to drive to the property. The concerns regarding the floors were not brought to our attention during your stay, so unfortunately we were not given the opportunity to inspect or address them while you were at the home. The other items you mentioned have been reviewed with our housekeeping supervisor. While we cannot verify every observation after check-in, we have nonetheless used your comments as an opportunity to reinforce our cleaning procedures and conduct another inspection. We appreciate your feedback and are pleased you otherwise enjoyed the home and its amenities. We remain committed to providing a clean, comfortable experience for every guest.

We enjoyed our stay! The house was spacious and a great place to gather with family. Kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked, and communication from the host was clear and timely. There are a few minor updates that would make the house even better (some loose tiles, a broken toilet handle, etc.), but nothing that impacted our overall experience.

Great house to celebrate my daughter’s 17th birthday. The walk-out lower level, with screened in hot tub, living room, bathroom and bedrooms, was a perfect space for 6 teenage girls. The large upper living space was perfect for the adults and for all of us to gather and eat and hangout. Twelve total in our group and plenty of room for all of us. The walk through the woods to the beach was a fun adventure. Would stay here again. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Valerie Mossman-Celestin

Host profile image
Jacson is a registered nurse and Valerie is a non-profit director. They live with their son, Joshua, in Hudsonville, MI.

Why they chose this property

We enjoy visiting other homes and especially those on or near Lake Michigan. On Valentines' Day 2019, we were on a 'date night', heading into St. Joe and spotted an open house. It was love at first sight! We enjoy hospitality and providing a space for people to gather with their families or friends and create memories and this house provides the perfect space!

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this home the moment we opened the door! The space opens up into a vaulted ceiling with skylights and large windows span the back and sides, overlooking a wooded ravine. You have the feeling of being in a serene 'treehouse!' The space is open and great for entertaining. It is a short, wooded walk to a terrific local beach park that is kid- and dog-friendly. We love the three season porch downstairs where you can sit in the hot tub and hear the waves of Lake Michigan. (You can see a sliver of Lake MI from the upper level during winter; we're that close!)
