Clean, Pet Friendly & Tons of Thoughtful Extras!

My family and I stayed for a few nights with our 2 small senior pups and would definitely stay here again! You can truly pack light and it’s close to St Joe’s / Silver Beach if you are traveling with dogs and need to swing back mid-day to give them a potty break. The s’mores bar, bonfire, fireflies and twinkle lights made for a magical night. Thank you so much for your hospitality, Corey & Diana!

Fabulous Family Time

This property was so welcoming and had many touches with families and dogs in mind. My granddaughter loved the many games and the fire ring with s’mores kit. I loved the small but beautiful master bath with hand held and rainforest shower head. Shampoo, conditioner and liquid soap on the wall smelled great too. My husband appreciated the easy clean up instructions. My adult kids loved the location with beach, shops, restaurants and wineries a short drive away. The dogs loved the huge fenced in yard that even the little one wouldn’t escape from. We definitely recommend this place and the hosts were great.
Huge backyard with everything ready for us.

Great place you're Benton harbor for families to stay

We stayed here with our four kids (12-2), and they all had a blast. The home was super clean and everyone fit comfortably into their bedrooms. The enclosed backyard and fire pit made for a fun play time and s'mores after dinner. Will definitely be staying here again when we come back!

Corey sent detailed information regarding the entry to the home beforehand. The house is adorable. We especially loved the TV room filled with games for all ages. The amenities in this home are extra ordinary... Everything from s'mores to baby stuff to extra tooth brushes was provided. The large fenced in back yard made us comfortable with four grandkids ages 4-10. Definitely would return!

The Perfect Spot

This place is THE perfect spot if you're in town for a wedding or just enjoying the Michgan beaches. We were there for a wedding at Stonegate Manor which is 4 minutes away . The beaches are even closer. We travelled with my mom and our dog and everyone was happy withe their space. Lots of games and stuff if you have kids with you.

Over the Top

I say over the top because this house has everything!!! And the host supplies items right down to pen and paper for making grocery lists!!! We had a wonderful stay and will stay again. Very roomy, bright, and it felt like home. It was nice enough to sit on the patio and play with our dogs in the yard. I can't express enough how thoroughly pleased and happy I was to stay at such a lovely place!

The house was clean with a huge fenced backyard for our dog to run around. Short drive to beaches and restaurants/breweries. The host provides more than most rentals - firewood, s’mores for fire pit, plenty of toilet paper/paper towels, beach towels, beach chairs, etc. Would stay here again!

St. Joe/Benton Harbor vacation

This was a family vacation in southwestern Michigan and our first time using a VRBO property. The facility was as described and perfect for our family. The backyard was gorgeous and the hosts provided all the amenities needed to make our stay even more carefree and enjoyable. We were delighted at the fenced in yard which allowed us to bring our beloved pet. We would definitely stay at this property again and will use VRBO for future travels!

The home was perfect for our intended use and locale. The home was very well-kept and clean with thoughtful amenities for young families. The fenced yard was ideal for our small pets and small kids. After each day’s excursion we would enjoy the yard for ball play amongst all.

Great Time

This was a great place to stay. We did a short 3 day vacation with our son, his wife and 4 children. The area had plenty for them to do with the beach, carrousel, pizza etc. When we came back to the house there were plenty of games for inside and outside. The kids absolutely loved the smores bar! We even had a firepit because the wood is kept dry in the garage. On top of all that the house was well stocked with supplies and we didn't need to buy anything, This house is VRBO done right! Good job guys!

60th Birthday Celebration!!

House was spotless however the beds were unacceptable! For two couples the master bedroom bed was just ok however the second bed was horrible as are guests did not sleep well!The third bedroom had bunk beds not suitable for a couple! Its unfortunate because we would definitely stay here again if they put some nice beds in here! For a family with kids its perfect getaway however for all adults if you value sleep I wouldnt advise! If they upgraded the beds we would definitely be here year after year! Love the area the house has just about everything you need! The back deck is very nice and yard is spacious as well!

My husband, dog and I drove from NC to Michigan for a work trip. We all enjoyed staying at this awesome home for 15 days. Our dog loved the fenced in backyard and the home was extremely comfortable and met all of our needs. We would definitely stay here again for a vacation! Hosts are extremely responsive, but we truly did not need to contact them often because the home had everything we needed! Visiting Silver Beach and Downtown St. Joseph are a must!
