The home is located in a modest residential neighborhood, but the property itself sits on a large lot and feels private, with a wooded ravine creating a peaceful backdrop.

You’ll be just minutes from Lake Michigan beaches, including Silver Beach and Jean Klock Park, as well as downtown St. Joseph’s restaurants, shops, and local attractions.

The area is a great base for exploring Southwest Michigan, with nearby wineries, golf courses, and seasonal activities throughout the year.

Guests have access to the entire home and outdoor space, including the private deck, yard, and firepit area.

Self check-in is available for a smooth and flexible arrival. Parking is available on-site.


This thoughtfully designed container home offers a unique stay with modern finishes and a comfortable, open layout. Large windows bring in natural light and views of the surrounding wooded ravine, creating a peaceful, tucked-away feel.

Inside, you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen, cozy living area, and well-appointed sleeping space designed for a relaxing stay. The layout is efficient yet stylish, making the most of every square foot.

Step outside to enjoy the spacious deck overlooking the ravine — perfect for morning coffee, quiet afternoons, or unwinding after a day at the beach. In the evening, gather around the firepit and enjoy the calm, natural setting.

This is a unique container home, so the layout is compact and thoughtfully designed rather than traditional.

The home is located in a modest neighborhood, but once on the property you’ll find a quiet, private setting that feels tucked away from surrounding homes.

As with many natural settings, you may encounter wildlife such as deer and other small animals.

This property was pet friendly. The walk in shower was great. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen was functional, although it could have used a couple of wine glasses. The couch and chairs in the living area were also comfortable.

Great little place for 2-3 people. Nice private lot surrounded by trees. The home and yard are very dog-friendly, and we were very comfortable during our stay. Close to restaurants and other attractions. We enjoyed our time in Benton Harbor and would choose the container home again when back in town.
