We had my sisters bachelorette weekend there with 10 girls. We had plenty of space and large areas to hang out, play games, and just enjoy some equality time together. The home was well maintained and the time spent was seamless. We had quick and easy communication with Chris as he was very easy to reach and responded timely. Would definitely recommend to any larger group of people traveling together, looking for a house with all the things and a beautiful view too!

Fantastic Views and Great Location!
We loved the property! Spacious, clean, and comfortable with lavish bedding and interiors. The game room was a bonus for lively ping pong matches and watching the game on the large screen TV with space for the whole group (or most of it) to cheer on Michigan (sorry Phil). The sunsets over Lake Michigan were spectacular! The pool was a lovely 82 degrees and though it was colder outside we had a comfortable sunset swim. With tons of local restaurants (Silver Brewing Company and The Market), wineries (Lazy Ballerina), Silver Beach, sightseeing, and shopping, we found something for everyone in our group to enjoy. Thanks, Chris, for all of your recommendations and for helping make our stay a satisfying success.

Gorgeous and comfy haven, inside and out!
I will start with the excellent property manager, Chris. He was very concise with explaining the "dos and don'ts" of the property, how to care for the pool and fireplaces. He responded very quickly to any questions/concerns. The house is so beautiful with such attention to detail and high end everything...furniture, beds/mattresses, artwork, decor, fully stocked kitchen, stone fireplaces, large and comfy enclosed screened in porch with stone gas/wood fireplace where we spent a lot of time. The heated pool and patio were very relaxing with stunning views of the lake and breathtaking sunsets. It is exactly as pictured and worth every penny...sleeps a lot of people comfortably and the 4 full baths were a bonus for all of our family that stayed to get ready for our niece's wedding. Just perfect! Will try to plan our next reunion here!

Labor Day Weekend Stay
We had an amazing weekend celebrating my sisters Bachelorette! Chris, the property manager, was great to communicate with and helped us check into the house with ease. We absolutely loved the house and will be booking it again! Super spacious, the pool was amazing, we loved the screened in porch, and loved hanging out by the outdoor fire pit to make s'mores and watch the stars. Very close to downtown Benton Harbor and the Dollar General was less than 5 minutes away for last minutes items.

July in Benton Harbor
This was our second stay at the Benton Harbor house and we had a fabulous time! Mornings and evenings in the pool, afternoons at the beach nearby, movie nights in the screened porch and sunsets at the fire pit looking over Lake Michigan. The renovated kitchen and bathrooms made the stay even nicer. Can't recommend the house more. We'll be back!

Simply magical reunion
We met for a family reunion that included 10 adults and seven children, including two infants, and five children under six years. I was a little unsure as to how the sleeping arrangements might work for the adults. However, everyone was pleased with their arrangement and put two twins together to create a king for one couple. The kitchen was stocked beyond belief and we had the local Meijer supermarket deliver food the day of our arrival which made a huge shopping spree easier. We had extended family who stayed in a house up the road over for dinner, a couple of nights, and despite the number of people , it worked out incredibly well. Chris, the manager was highly responsible and responsive. The pump on the pool did fail our last day there, but he had the repair man out and the pump changed within the day. The views were spectacular, the memories treasured, the house beautifully decorated and Saint Joseph was a perfect place for adults and children to make special memories together. Would highly recommend this house and Chris our manager for your next seamless vacation.

Summer Vacation on Lake Michigan
Beautiful property with great view right on Lake Michigan. Sunsets were truly a wonder to behold. We had 13 folks from age 4 to 53, and six 18 to 21 year olds. Property comfortably fit us all. Evenings were great, we could retire to beautiful screened in porch and still enjoy the sunsets and evenings. Heated pool was a hit as it provided hours of enjoyment throughout the day. Kitchen was stocked where we could buy plenty of food and make delicious home cooked meals for 13. Would definitely rent again. Fun Warren Dunes State Park and beautiful South Haven within 30 minute drive of property.

Benton harbor stay
We had a fantastic time at this gorgeous home! My family rented the home for my Mom's 70th birthday weekend. We had two families with young children and our parents. Property was quiet, well kept and very up to date/modern while maintaining a rustic feel. The pool was perfect and pool cover great for safety and cleanliness! The manager Chris was extremely attentive and helpful!

Memorial Day Weekend To Remember
The property is a dream to stay in. Chris was flexible in allowing us to check in early as my toddler has a pretty firm nap schedule. The house is fully stocked with everything a family could need. We enjoyed the 3 season room so much and were able to use the fireplace every night and enjoy the sunsets over the lake. I can’t express enough how grateful I am to have had that time with my family, and how comfortable and seamless the entire experience was because of Chris’s help and guidance along the way. Thank you, Chris, for giving my family and I the space we needed to really restore over the long weekend at this very special home.

Wonderful Experience
This Michigan home was a great place for my family of 13, during our stay in June of 2022. Christopher went out of his way to make our stay comfortable and most enjoyable. The kitchen had recently been remodeled, we enjoyed eating in most nights. The view of the lake Michigan was beautiful, while spending days in the pool and evenings playing ping pong, which was a family favorite. I would highly recommend this property. You will not be disappointed!!
