Great stay!

Great little house with everything we needed for our few days! The home was clean and well stocked. We never heard noise from the neighborhood or streets, which was great since we're light sleepers. There was extra bedding & beach towels available. The washer & dryer were convenient. It was about a 10 minute drive to Silver Beach & all the downtown shops. The price was comparable to staying in some hotels on the same dates, with a lot more space for our family.

Great rental, close to the beach!

The house is fantastic. There is plenty of space, it's very clean, comfortable beds and couches, all decorated so cute. Couldn't ask for a better location, 15 minutes to several great beaches and the town of St Joseph, less than 5 minutes to grocery. We usually visit St Joseph's every year and we will definitely book this house again!

The hosts have clearly worked hard to provide a clean and comfortable rental. The beds and furniture are comfortable and the kitchen is well-stocked with whatever cookware you might need. The hosts are very responsive. The Lincoln House is a short drive to Lake Michigan and was perfect for our needs. We would absolutely rent again!

Quiet And Restful

We were pleasantly surprised. The accommodations were comfortable and quiet. Communication was quick and easy and we very much enjoyed our stay. The two different beds and assortment of pillows made it easy to find the right sleeping arrangement, and the location was not only easy to get to, but also a near-perfect central location for what we were hoping to do while there. It was a very, very nice stay. Again, thank you so much for sharing your place with us.

Great little two bedroom

House was clean and exactly as pictured. Only downside was not knowing that walking places isn’t an option due to proximity and lack of sidewalks but that’s not really specific to this property and more just something we weren’t aware of!
