The hosts were very responsive to all messages and checked in - and ploughed- during the snow storm! Also, the house was incredibly well stocked with kitchen appliances and utensils, and with baby gear should you need it. The house and furniture were in excellent condition and the fenced yard was great for dogs!

Met family for Christmas. House was everything we could ask for. Big fenced yard for the dogs. Very well stocked with everything you could need. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to book in this area. Will probably go back in the summer and check out the beaches and wineries.

This home is perfect! We love the spacious and clean rooms with everything you need. The TV and sound system is awesome! There is a firepit and two areas of seating on the deck. The fenced in yard is secure for our curious dogs. Corey is an absolutely wonderful host! This was our second stay and we'll be back next year!

Great Lake MI Getaway

My family enjoyed a 3-night stay in early August, this rental worked wonderfully for us (2 parents, 2 kids, 1 grandparent and 1 dog). Communication was clear and we had no issue or confusion with the check-in/check-out process. The home was clean and very well organized. Spaces throughout the home were thoughtfully stocked to make our stay easier which was much appreciated. We enjoyed both indoor and outdoor living spaces, using the fire pit twice and our dog loved patrolling the fenced yard. The neighborhood was very quiet. The location was great with only a short drive to multiple beaches as well as downtown St. Joseph. We also loved our breakfast at the Mason Jar Cafe!

The cleanest home with so many amenities. It is almost as if they anticipated everything you may need. Coffee, tea and everything for s’mores. Although we never took the time to use it, the French Press coffee maker is one of our favorites. Beautifully decorated. Would stay there again. Highly recommend!

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.

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!
