Great woodsy retreat near Lake Michigan

Couldn’t stay at a nicer, cleaner or more comfortable place. We cannot say enough good things about the accommodation or or the hosts. They even went out and got a swifter for my husband.

Perfect

We enjoyed Labor Day weekend at the Monroe house and it was perfect for our family trip!! The place was super clean, easily fit our 9 person party. The decks, hot tub and fire pit were highlights. The host was super responsive and thought of everything. Highly recommend this place.

Perfect Home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Monroe! We loved that it was away from everything but still close enough to not have to drive far. Our kids absolutely loved the firepit and the hot tub. The owners were incredible with communication. We had some issues with the door lock a few times and they came over to fix it ASAP. I would recommend maybe bringing some extra towels if you have a larger group or just be prepared to wash them daily (we didn't mind). This was our first time to Michigan, and we loved Jean Klock Park and Tiscornia Park and both were within minutes of this home. We also loved making the short drive to South Haven. We will definitely be making a trip back some day!

St. Joeseph and South Haven

We had our kids and grand kids withus. This is a great property for activities in both St Joseph and South Haven. A short drive to both but far enough away from the traffic and crowds. The house was very clean and it fit our needs perfectly

EXCELLENT LOCATION!

We absolutely loved our stay at The Monroe House! Perfect location between St. Joe and South Haven. We were able to visit three different beaches in the 5 days we were there. We have 4 children (15, 4, 3, and 7 weeks) and there was plenty to keep them all happy and occupied. The house was VERY clean and accommodated our group of 5 adults and 4 kids wonderfully! House was fully stocked with everything we needed. The deck on the main level was the perfect extension of living space and we spent a lot of time there. We 100% enjoyed our time and would definitely stay again! Communication with the host was great and they were very eager to make sure everything was to our liking. Don't miss out on this house if you are headed to the St. Joseph/South Haven area!

Amazing stay

Great house near several lovely beaches. We had a 5yr old, a 1yr old and 2 in their 70’s and had no problem with accessing the nearby beaches. All within a short drive and parking wasn’t an issue even on the 4th of July weekend. We really enjoyed the porch and firepit for relaxing after the beach. The hosts were so kind and thoughtful and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Would not hesitate to come back!

Loved the place, and after the beach everyday it was nice to come back to a secluded location with a hot tub and fire pit at night.

Sweet Rest and Relaxation

The Monroe House was just what our family needed as an end of summer retreat. The home had plenty of space for our three kiddos to roam about while also feeling close and cozy for games and movie night in. It's no further than 15 mins to get anywhere you could need for accustomed amenities (groceries, gas, or chain restaurants), and is also minutes from beaches, parks and local restaurants. We enjoyed Silver Beach and walking around St Joe as well as hiking down to the lake closer to the air bnb at Hagar Park (there are a lot of stairs, but we found it completely manageable even with a 1yo, 4yo, & preteen). On the last evening we went to Jean Klock park and took family photos. It was absolutely stunning at sunset! Monroe House is clean, well stocked for utilizing the kitchen, and the backyard & hot tub were favorites! 10/10 recommend this stay for a slow and relaxed environment allowing you to enjoy a homey get away without being too far off the beaten path.

Summer Get Away

The home worked great for our family. Close to St Joseph and South Haven. We truly enjoyed our time at the home and plan to book again next year. A little off the beaten path, which was exactly what we were looking for. Thank you for a great stay!!!

Birthday Getaway

We stayed at the Monroe house for my 40th birthday celebration with my family. I actually booked the rental before the construction was done based on the write up but Catie communicated with me throughout the following months to ensure I knew how the property was coming along and that it would meet the needs of my group. We had an extended weekend of beach fun, kids playing in the yard, hot tub, grilling, dinner in St. Joe’s and lots of laughter and memories made. Everything was easy and the house was perfect for our group! One small miss was that the washer/dryer was not yet available/connected and that makes cleaning towels and swimsuits after the beach a bit difficult but we made do. Thanks Catie!

Beautiful home!

The house was beautiful and well stocked for our 3 day adventure! The 2 minute beach (Hagar park) had way to many steps to even attempt to go down with as much beach stuff as we had and the baby, but the house is located right in between St. Joseph & South Haven 15 minutes each way. We love both places so it was perfect!

About the host

Hosted by Catie Ellis

Host profile image
We are Phil and Catie Ellis. We have lived in Michigan for 22 years. We love to boat on Lake Michigan with friends, travel, watch our favorite football team play and mostly we love to hang out with our kids. Brittany and Madison are both grown up now, so the time we get to spend with them is always so fun!
Phil and I are happy to share our summer rental with you! We hope you love it as much we do.

Why they chose this property

Summers here are so special with the lake and beautiful beaches. The wine tours and now the brewery tours are both a big hit around here. The quaint lake towns are so fun to walk around in to shop, eat or enjoy a day at the beach! South Haven and Saint Joseph are a short drive from our rental home. For a day away you could take a trip to Chicago by train.

What makes this property unique

Our house is pretty secluded by the tall trees in the back yard. The wooded setting is lovely and feels very relaxing. We chose this place because of the privacy but also for its central location. Lots of fun things to do and see. There are multiple championship golf courses within 20 minutes of the Monroe house. Saint Joseph and South Haven's beaches have been ranked in the top 10 in the country. So take a walk to the pier, then grab an ice cream cone and sit on the beach to watch the sunset!
