The property was beautiful, well appointed kitchen, very clean! A family favorite was to just watch the river go by out the beautiful windows! It soon became a favorite of our dog and grandson too! This property is close to shopping and attractions yet in a quiet neighborhood! About 20 minutes from Silver Beach County Park in Saint Joseph, a great way to spend a day!

We were in town for my son's wedding in Benton Harbor. We loved our mornings in front of the floor to ceiling windows in the living room watching the fog come off the river and morning coffee. We slept great in the master bedroom and had an overall great stay.

James and Carrie have spent their careers in real estate and interior design, and they have combined their talents to create the perfect family retreat. With their
two small kids they enjoy all the outdoor activities that St. Joseph has to offer. We are excited for you to enjoy our house on the river! We love the location, peaceful and serene, yet close to downtown and the beaches. The Picture is my Daughter on the Private Dock with a Beautiful Sunset in the background.
