This stunning 3 level contemporary single family home was completed the end of 2015. Everything is new! House is located on a bluff with gorgeous views of Lake Michigan from virtually every room in the house. Property includes 200ft of private beach (NOTE: there are 225 stairs down to beach). 7 bedrooms (1 bunk room), 5 1/2 baths, 2 separate entertainment areas. Perfect for 2 or 3 families. Kitchen and main living area are on the 2nd floor with a HUGE wrap around deck with spectacular views. There are two 3rd floor Master suites with huge bathrooms and their own 3rd floor deck. Sunset viewing and fires on the beach a must!
Our house has the best of both worlds...private lakefront get away from the hustle and bustle, but it is only 5 miles north of downtown St. Joseph. St. Joe is a GREAT harbor town with nice restaurants, adorable shops, and an old-fashioned dime store. Very family friendly with a indoor merry-go-round and hands-on kid's museum steps from the beach. World class golf, vineyards/wine tasting, and u-pick apples and peaches. Come check it out!!

Booked for our family vacation. House was perfect size and all the amenities of home. Kayaks and beach chairs and added bonus so didn’t have to take up and down the stairs. We made great families memories.
Outstanding property with all the amenities. Plenty of beach toys, chairs, towels, umbrellas and the like. The house was spectacular with sleeping spaces and bathrooms for everyone. Very impressed with the utensils and dishes in the kitchen (they had everything one could need). Very clean, well-appointed with backup linens, bath towels and supplies. Allowed 3 family's plenty of together and alone space. Only drawback was the steps to the beach for the little ones.
We stayed here for my sister’s bachelorette party. There were ten of us staying and there was so much space! Beautiful views out the window on the water! We had a great time and would love to come back
This was our third visit to this magnificent property with our extended family. It never disappoints! Views and beach are spectacular! The house is perfect for our whole family. We always create the best memories. We are so thankful for this special place!
This place was fantastic. It’s huge, clean, and the view is absolutely incredible. Process was very easy and it was a perfect fit for our family to get together and do a little cook out! Highly recommend.
12 cousins from 6 different states gathered for a reunion week at this wonderful home! Pictures are very accurate but really don’t do it justice. We had mild temps in the high 70’s - low 80’s, good for shirtsleeves. Sunsets were spectacular. The kitchen was among the best stocked of any VRBO I’ve experienced - this includes spices and baking supplies, 4 high quality cookie sheets and other cookware, plus lots of prep and serving pieces. Ample seating inside and on the deck was much appreciated. Puzzles and games abounded. (I hadn’t played Yahtzee since I was a kid!)The place was clean and sparkly for our arrival! The beds were made well and stayed tucked in at the bottom. Plenty of cleaning supplies were available. Our host/owner communicated promptly and provided excellent before and after instructions via PDF prior to our arrival. I would love to stay here again.
The owner was super responsive and accommodating. There was so much space for my family and we had an amazing time! The steps to the beach were worth the hike, it was so well kept and beautiful!
This was an absolutely amazing home. A group of friends and I rented this home for the weekend and was a weekend to remember. The house had everything we needed. I would definitely rent it again.
We loved everything about this awesome house and property! Even the many stairs down to the beach are worth what awaits you at the bottom. The beach was wonderful and our children and grandchildren had the time of their lives. We are grateful for this time together!
This is a beautiful modern house right on the lake. Our group had 10 adults and there was plenty of room for everyone. This is our fifth year staying here and we will be back next year. The owner is very responsive and keeps the place in excellent condition.
We came for a long weekend for a milestone birthday celebration. Ten people, three generations. The house was amazing. Really spectacular. Beware, the beach was very pretty, but the stairs to the beach are steep and uneven. It can also get windy on the deck, making grilling a challenge.
Anyone can take a good picture. This place matched the photos, "thus as advertised" Spacious, living room and kitchen area separte from sleeping quarters. All good!
From two-year old twins to Great Grandma Joyce (90), everyone enjoyed the gorgeous lake views and roomy kitchen/dining area. The teenagers had fun with the stand up paddle boarding and kayaking and lots of beautiful beach. Great Grandma shared a bathroom with my husband and I but our three sons and their wives had their own bathroom as did the teenagers which made everyone happy. A great time had by all!
We had an awesome time with our 3 adult children, their spouses and our 8 grandchildren. Room for everyone! Fabulous time.
My only critique is that the fridge is way too small for the size of the house.
