Little Blue Cottage - wooded getaway, near beaches and towns

Our cozy, family-friendly, newly remodeled cottage is a stone's throw from Lake Michigan and near Harbor Shores. Great location for peace and quiet, surrounded by trees on a large wooded property and isolated from any nearby neighbors. It's close to beautiful downtown St. Joseph, but also not far at all to South Haven and Coloma. Beaches, boating, several golf courses and great dining are all closeby. Home is quiet, private, clean and cozy.

Vaulted ceilings over the kitchen, dining, and living areas. Two general sleeping areas: one we like to call the "Lake Suite" with 3 beds, study area and sink, and the other slepping area contains 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. Reclaimed wood can be found throughout the cottage from the former fruit stand that once was on the property. Everything here is brand new including the kitchen, bathroom, flooring and carpet, windows, paint and trim. We wanted to create a very comfortable space that would provide a cozy experience for you to relax and unwind all year. Check out the photos, we think you'll enjoy it!!

Rural wooded setting across the street from Lake Michigan. Closest neighbors are over 300' away. 8 minute drive from St Joseph and 20 minute drive from South Haven.

The exterior driveway is monitored by exterior camera for security and safety.
