We enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was the best equipped I've ever seen in a rental! We had lots of room, the host Tawni was attentive and our dog Walter, who can be nervous in a new place, felt right at home. The location was perfect for us, close to family and the wedding location, plus easy drive to downtown Stevensville and St. Joseph.

This was our first annual family vacation, and for the most part, this home suited our needs quite well. The house itself is charming, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The sunroom was absolutely gorgeous and quickly became our favorite gathering spot. We were especially grateful to be able to bring our dogs along, which made the experience even more enjoyable.The location is convenient—close to the highway, restaurants, and some beaches—making it easy to explore the area.That said, there were a few drawbacks. Unfortunately, we had no Wi-Fi access for the entire weekend. While the owner did reach out to the internet service provider, it couldn’t be resolved during our stay. Also, we found the beds to be uncomfortable, though that may just be a personal preference—I’m used to a smart bed, which makes a difference.All the bedrooms are upstairs, and the staircase is quite steep. I’m still recovering from knee replacement surgery last year and also have a bad hip, so going up and down frequently became difficult by the end of the weekend.Some basic supplies were initially in short supply, but when I reached out to the owner, she responded promptly and brought over what we needed, which we appreciated.Overall, we enjoyed our stay and made some great memories in this lovely home.

While staying at this home you will be under constant surveillance including cameras on the neighbors house. It was listed as an event home for families. However my number of guests was questioned along with getting prior authorization which was not mentioned on the listing. The cleanliness could have been better and the cleaning utilities were very cheap and unreliable. The trash was full on the day of our arrival and the television connections were terrible I had to keep reaching out for them to reset the modem. I definitely will not recommend this home to family or friends. Lastly the loft is in the back yard in a shed not apart of the home at all definitely a catfish tactic.

St. Joseph Family Fishing Trip
The location was great, very close to a Walgreens and Martins. The house was spacious with plenty of area for our large family. The host was top notch. We rented a PPV UFC fight and were in need of a code for the TV. They immediately responded to the request and helped us to reset the code so we could access it. I would use this same location again for our next trip.
