My sister and I stayed here for a quick getaway to enjoy the nearby casinos and wineries. The location was perfect for both, and we would stay here again.The beds and furniture were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and there were plenty of quality towels. We also felt very safe. The property is quiet and somewhat secluded, which we enjoyed.A few areas could use attention. The outdoor spaces need some TLC to match the photos, and curtains that fully close in the kitchen, living room, dining room, and front bedroom would provide more privacy at night and help block the early morning sun. The bathrooms are dated but charming. A hair dryer was not provided, so bring your own.There was a musky smell when we arrived, which we discovered was caused by water leaking in the basement. Maintenance came out to address it promptly. The oven also needs a replacement knob. If you plan to play ping pong, you may want to bring your own paddles. The rubber is completely worn off one of the paddles provided and partially worn off the other.Overall, we had a good stay and enjoyed the property’s convenient location, peaceful setting, and comfortable accommodations. With a few updates and some maintenance to the outdoor areas, this could be an even better experience.

Basecamp for St. Joseph/Lake Michigan fishing trip

Perfect spot for my Dad and Brothers to bunk for a trip of a lifetime out on Lake Michigan. 23 minutes to the Marina and the little college town had everything we needed. We put the bbq grill and fire pit to good use. Well stocked with clean linens and everything worked without issue.

We enjoyed the stay. It was quiet, clean, and nicely decorated. We needed to make sure we didn't make too much noise as to affect the people downstairs. I wish we had seen a sign or label saying that there was a laundry available to us downstairs.

Great experience!

We were just looking for a quiet getaway for the weekend and we were not disappointed. Quiet location. Loved the view out of the back slider. We got to see deer multiple times. The kitchen had everything that we needed to make a wonderful meal. The beds were very comfortable. Overall, a great experience.

Wonderful and convenient get away

This worked out perfectly for our family. As an added bonus the house is located close to Andrews University, which allowed us to take advantage of all the walking areas and trails around campus. Apple Valley store had everything we needed if we had to grab anything for a meal. Our location was quiet and tranquil. We really enjoyed our stay. The only thing I might suggest is new dining room table chairs and a can opener for the kitchen.

Very beautiful house in a quiet neighborhood. In good condition. Easy communication with management. I didn't realize there was a second unit downstairs and there would be people there. They were quiet and respectful, but it was still a surprise.

Such an adorable place!!

We were looking for St. Joe homes, but with our last minute planning, we were coming up short. This little cutie kept coming up in my search, so we make went for it, and we were PLEASED!! The house is on a small university campus, the area was clean, and felt safe. The home itself was just the cutest place, and we were just ready to move in for life!! It was close enough to St. Joe, and it was a nice place to retire to at the end of each day at the beach. The beds were so very cozy, and Sage was so responsive and wanted to ensure our stay was perfect, and did not disappoint…I will say, the listing is not kidding about the bugs in the woods, but don’t let it be a reason you skip booking this place…I would definitely stay here again…I recommend :)

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOME UNLESS YOU WANT TO SHARE STRANGERS.

When we rented this home, the listing states you have the option to rent the lower level as well, which consists of another bedroom and kitchen. HOWEVER, IT DIDN'T STATE that if you only rent the upstairs they will rent the other space to additional guests. I went thru VRBO because they advertise that no sharing is allowed. We were quite surprised when we heard other voices and slamming of doors. We thought someone was breaking in. We immediately contacted the property manager and she said, yes, in fact, that other people were staying on the same property. They advertise a fire pit, but seem to forget to tell you that you need to share it with strangers. Once we looked at additional reviews, this is an ONGOING Problem. The next day, more people showed up and thought they had rented the house we were in but were then told they only rented the lower level. They partied until 3 am and we didn't sleep the entire night. It was a disaster. Along with sharing, there are no curtains in the living area, living, dining and kitchen, so the people at the fire pit could see in. NO PRIVACY WHATSOEVER The property manager is beyond polite and is quite good at listening to your concerns BUT DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT. I'm sure she will make it look like it was our mistake and that we were hard to work with. She told us there is no way we would get all or part of our money back. I did complain to VRBO, they state they don't allow sharing. i have not heard heard back yet.

Thank you, Linda, for your review. We acknowledge that there might have been some confusion. However, in our listing description, we clearly stated that the unit you rented is located upstairs. We also mentioned that if guests wish to rent the entire home, including the downstairs area, they have the option to book both levels. Additionally, it's worth noting that the unit has separate entrances for each level. We ensure that this information is provided in our listing description to ensure guests are well-informed prior to making a reservation. Take care!

Make sure you read the fine print! There is someone that lives in the basement! They said it was in the listing. The house is outdated and smells musty. I would not stay there again. The rental company Unique Stays was horrible to deal with. We asked if we could get the front door code 45min before we were supposed to because we arrived early. They wanted to charge me for giving me the code 45min early! The pictures must have been staged of the listing because the house does not look that good in person! There are not any pictures of the bathrooms and there is a reason for that. The tile is straight out of the 60’s. Renter beware on this one! I wish someone had left a review of what the experience was really like. I would never go back!
