This is an old cottage but it's kept up and is clean and comfortable. (Best crew in town!) I'm extremely fortunate to have repeat guests every year and I truly strive to make everybody feel welcome.

A great family stay!

My family and I had such a wonderful stay here! The host was extremely responsive, helpful, and communicative throughout. The house was just as described. It was a perfect stay for our family, as we could easily walk to the beach and to downtown. We'd love to stay again!

Perfect stay!

We loved our stay. Very clean, comfortable, and basics provided (hand soap, dishwasher tabs, toilet paper, etc). Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots & pans. Beds were comfortable. Location was perfect, beach was steps away. Walking distance to restaurants and shops. Appreciated the beach chairs and wagon. Will definitely be back!

Steps away from the beach and downtown!

Lovely location to enjoy St Joseph, steps away from Silver Beach and from downtown area. Beds comfortable and accommodation clean. Only issue could be that AC didn’t reach the upstairs, but it worked for our group. Definitely staying here again!

Great house and location

The property is only 2 short blocks to the beach (can see the beach from the corner the house is on), and an easy walk to the downtown shopping area. Was nicely set up and had plenty of space for our group of 4 adults and 1 child.

Girls Weekend

This property is perfect! The location gives you quick access to the beach and into town. It comfortably fit our group of 6. The wagon with beach chairs was a huge bonus! Made it super easy to set up for our beach day. The private backyard was also a nice bonus. The check in & out process was super easy, and the hosts are super communicative. We will definitely be back!

Just a short walk to the beach

We stayed with our family of 8 and thoroughly enjoyed the accommodations as well as the location - just a short walk to the beach (less than 5 minutes). The house was in great shape and the property manager provided all the details we needed to have a fantastic stay. Highly recommend.

Great location, close proximity to the beach and businesses in nearby downtown. Houses nearby but very peaceful neighborhood. Train goes by the backyard a few times a day and kids loved it. Hope to come back sometime in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Ken Davis

Why they chose this property

COVID-19 UPDATE:
We are taking every precaution to clean and disinfect the house between guests. There will be no shortcuts. Every light switch, counter, fixture, appliance, remote control, etc., will be properly cleaned and sanitized.

This Lake Michigan Cottage is a wonderful beach rental. It's in a great spot-- A quick walk to the beach, town, and all the St Joseph attractions. Catch the Amtrak to Chicago for the day, if you want. Two queens, one full and two twin beds offer a great combination of bedding to fit your group. Please understand this is an old cottage but it's clean, comfortable, and easy to relax in. The backyard has a nice private feel to it.

What makes this property unique

Location. Location. Location. The house is below the bluff which means your toes will hit beach sand in mere minutes. It's great at the start of the day when you can stake out your perfect spot on the beach, AND when you're tired and ready to call it a day. Nobody likes to trudge back home at the end of a long day! Forgot the sunscreen on the kitchen table? No big deal, go back to the house, grab it, and come right back. Use the wagon to haul your chairs and belongings to the beach! Past guests agree -- you'll really appreciate this home's great location.
