We had an amazing time here. Houss was perfect for our group and far enough away from things to relax and enjoy ourselves after a day out. Host was very responsive and house was very clean as well. Will definitely rent again!

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.

The house was very nice on the inside. The location was great and the view was magnificent. There was ample towels and bedding for our stay. The only negative I have is the outside could have used a good cleaning. The screened in patio was covered with dust and spider webs. The front entrance area was dusty and full of spider webs. The only reason I’m pointing out the outside conditions are because we are outside people. I would definitely rent again. I would have given a 5 star rating if the outside was half as good as the inside.

The house is very nicely appointed, great condition, and clean. The location is close to St. Jo and many other area of interest (hiking, fishing, beaches). The property owner is easy to work with - super communication. We would stay again.

Peace on the River

We had a beautiful stay on the peaceful & mesmerizing river from early mornings- drinking coffee, watching the fish jump & lounging outdoors. The inside of this rambling ranch was nicely renovated & had comfort, functionality in the kitchen/baths & awesome views of the river. We especially loved sitting by the windows in the LR & watching the lazy river go by!

Riverfront Oasis

This home met all the amenities my group was looking for and more! James is an amazing host & great with communicating. He was very attentive to our request and met them. The property had breathtaking views of the river and provided us with all the fishing space we needed! I would highly recommend this spot.

Great house right on the river!

My family and I rented the house for a week and we had a great stay! James was very friendly and helpful. The house is completely and beautifully renovated with an open floor plan, plenty of room, two living room spaces, and very clean. Lots of open space in the backyard. We ended up renting a boat, it’s a lovely 20 minute boat ride from the house to Lake Michigan. The screened-in porch was helpful to keep bugs out! The location is great, it’s close to downtown St Joe’s. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful! Overall, we were very happy and would definitely stay here again! Thank you :)

Great Riverfront Home

I brought my 16 year old son and his 2 best friends to do some fishing. My 18 year daughter came for a night with her 2 cousins. It was a fabulous getaway in a time where traveling is a little difficult. The house was beautiful, very clean, very nicely decorated, modern! Comfortable beds, great air conditioning, everything was great! There was plenty of room. The view couldn't get any better. Beautiful windows facing the River! It was only about a 15 minute drive to get to Lake Michigan. It is in a quiet residential area, with just 15 minutes drives to whatever you needed. We rented kayaks, which was a blast. We didn't have the best of luck catching fish, but the boys sure had fun trying and swimming in the river. I sure wish I would have started coming here years ago when my kids were smaller. But we definietely want to come back. It was easy to check in and the owner was very responsive!!
