About this property

The Shire - "There's some good in the world." Winery/Brewery tours available

Nestled on five secluded, tree-lined acres, with a pond, waterfall, fire pit, tree swing, basketball court and walking trails, The Shire feels a million miles away from it all - but isn't! We are only minutes away from wineries, breweries, amazing beaches, restaurants and shopping. (Notre Dame is an easy 30 minute drive).

Southwest Michigan is a beautiful place to live!

We'd LOVE to share it with you.

This is a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom 1,100 apartment located on the backside of the outbuilding on our property - completely out of the sight lines to our home which is about 50 yards away.

We have a pond with a waterfall and a deck to enjoy both. Enjoy the fire pit and tree swing, walking trails and 2 acre open field. There is a 1/2 court basketball, beach supplies in the front closet.

Wonderful place to stay
We had a wonderful weekend stay at The Shire! Mike was so welcoming and personable. The property was beautiful and spacious and the house was perfect. Our family of 6 stayed there for a long weekend. The kids loved the basketball court and huge yard to play catch in, the swing overlooking the pond, and the huge and very spacious garage where they played ping pong and bag toss! Thank you for great stay!

Quaint, Quiet, Quality
We visited The Shire for a mother-daughter weekend to celebrate our mom's 70th birthday. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect location and would love to come back sometime. The Shire is remarkably clean, the beds are very comfortable, and the space in general is very nice. Due to weather we weren't able to enjoy the outdoor activities, but the property is the precise definition of beautiful country living. This home is in close proximity to all of the shopping, dining, and recreation you could want. The hosts sent us a personal message prior to our arrival and made themselves available should we need any assistance. Thank you for opening your beautiful home to us. It was just perfect.

Girls trip to the beach
We enjoyed our stay at The Shire. The property is a beautiful and peaceful place to hang out. Coffee on the patio and walking to the vineyard was cool. We enjoyed beach views, shopping in St. Joes, silver beach pizza! A day at silver beach and playing games back at the house! Perfect getaway!!!

Another great stay!
This was our second time staying at The Shire and we enjoyed it very much! Everything was as we remembered- the space is very clean & comfortable and had everything we needed. The location is perfect: quiet and peaceful, yet close to the beach, wineries, breweries, and shopping. We plan to return again!
