Wonderful Family Getaway - perfect house for a fun and easy trip!

We had such a great time! We LOVE St. Joes & this house was a dream! First of all, it’s so cute! The decor is adorable, very beach and vacationy. The house had everything we needed. We have 3 young kids, two still in pack n plays and one newly in a “big bed.” This house for our needs perfectly! The twins slept in one of the upstairs rooms, there was more than enough room for two pack n plays and our other slept in a twin bed in the other upstairs room. We were very comfy in the master and there was a 4th bedroom that we didn’t even use as a family of 5! The bathroom was really nice. Great shower pressure, great for a bathtub for the kids + LOTS of bath towels & beach towels! The kitchen and living room were both spacious and welcoming. There’s a fenced in very private feeling backyard and back deck. We definitely plan on staying here again! The location was awesome. Such a short drive to everything and super convenient. We went to silver beach, Triscornia beach, and Rocky Gap Beach. Rocky gap is less than 3 minutes from the house! We also went the Shafer Farm LLC (about 20 minutes away) to go apple picking and loved it. Highly recommend Silver Beach Pizza and Silver Harbor Brewery while you’re in town. The hosts were so welcoming and had great communication. We had one question and they texted us back right away. They made us feel more than at home and left us a very sweet card and gift! 10/10 recommend staying here! We can’t wait to come back!

Mothers 50th birthday celebration

This was the perfect place for our celebration. They let us check in early, the house was absolutely adorable and very clean. They left us a special note letting us know how welcomed we were to their home. They also left us a complimentary bottle of wine. This house had everything we needed; bottles of shampoo & conditioner, plenty of towels, yard games, bug repellents, marshmallow skewers, nice private backyard with a grill, fully stocked kitchen, fans for each bedroom and more. They have thought of everything. This home was also located close to everything. Would definitely book this home again.

Family Trip to Michigan

My family and I traveled from Kentucky and Missouri, to Chicago for the night and on up into Benton Harbor, Michigan for 2 nights. We enjoyed exploring a new place. St. Joseph was adorable, we had a perfect beach day. While there, we visited the shops, stores and restaurants in the area. The home was adorable and suited us perfectly. Everything was clean. Check in was a breeze. Beds were comfy. We grilled some store bought fresh fish on the gas grill. Appliances were clean and looked brand new! Plenty of dishes and utensils. We would love to come back when we have more time! We loved it!

About the host

Hosted by Ryan Matthysse

Host profile image
Hello! We are Ryan and Sue and would love to welcome you to our home! We have a deep love for the beauty of southwest Michigan, having spent most of our lives near the lakeshore. Currently, we are living in Indiana but love making weekend trips to Michigan throughout the year and this home has been wonderful for our family to enjoy together! We love sharing it with others and offering recommendations on outdoor activities, restaurants and wineries in the area. It truly is one of the most beautiful areas of the midwest!

Why they chose this property

We love this area because of its proximity to several of the top beaches in Michigan. There is so much to do within 5 minutes of our property - golfing, biking, kayaking or a day at the beach! The restaurants in both St Joseph and Benton Harbor are outstanding. Our neighborhood is safe and extremely close to Lake Michigan.

What makes this property unique

This cozy cottage is perfect for a family, couples getaway or girls weekend. With 4 bedrooms, each person can have their own space while still being close. Please read the property description to get a better idea of the bedroom layout and amount of people. A trailhead for walking and biking the Harbor Shores Nature & Fitness Trail System is 0.25 miles down the road! North Pier Brewery is within walking distance. The Arts District of Benton Harbor is a 2 minute drive. If you enjoy exploring lakeshore communities, this is a great place to stay! On the other hand, if simply relaxing is what you need, our home has a comfortable living room and spacious deck in the back!
