Charming house, great location

This was an adorably renovated home to stay in for our quick and impromptu visit to Michigan, with some of the nostalgic touches of the home left intact, which I loved because it brought me back to the days growing up visiting at my Memaws! I only wish that I could have stayed longer and hopefully next time when the weather is better...that being said, this is the perfect vacay home full of entertainment for bad weather days- the basement game room was great, a favorite by the whole family! This house had everything stocked that we could have needed, nice coffee/tea station provided, and quick response time from the owner. It is in a cute little quiet neighborhood, and close to several sites and cute beaches. Five stars in my opinion, and we will be back to stay for longer! Thanks guys!

Immaculate property inside and out

We were impressed with the perfect landscaping and cleanliness of the house. The outdoor living space was very nice. We wish we would have had time to use the firepit. The wood logs and starters were all nicely available. We appreciated the host's responsiveness and clear communication.

The perfect place

My family and I stayed at the Dorothy for a Sunday through Tuesday night. The place had everything we needed and ask the extra amenities that made the stay awesome! We had a fire in the backyard every night and the kids played games in the basement every chance they got. It was only a 15 minute drive to a perfect day at Silver Beach. The Dorothy even got rave reviews from teenagers!! We cannot wait to return.

It’s a great location to spend time with the family. Close to all the St Joseph area attractions and very relaxed place to spend your down time. We had s’mores by the fire after a long day of beaches. Everything was carefully curated by the excellent hosts. Definitely would recommend.

We enjoyed our stay even though the weather didn’t cooperate. It was close to the town of St Joseph with nice stores and restaurants. The home was clean and had everything you may need.

Thank you!

We had a great stay! The house and property were clean and had everything we needed and beyond. We loved being able to eat outside on the patio that was well lit, and make a fire after. There’s plenty of space with the two bedrooms, but other options with the futons. The location was very beautiful with a nice countryside feel neighborhood. We had hoped to be a little closer to town, but it was a manageable distance and worth having a place to cook, lounge and let my toddler run around:) the host for amazing and available by text if we had any questions. Thank you! ❤️

Beach Family Vacation

The Dorothy is the perfect place to stay on a beach family vacation. Games in the basement and an outdoor fire pit are perfect entertainment for time spent at the house. You can get to many popular beaches in 10-15 minutes. The house was exactly as pictured and described online. Rich & Shelly responded super quick to any questions we had.
