Beach Bliss, Pet Friendly Retreat, With Hot Tub Near Lake MI

Escape to our charming 2BR cottage just a few miles from the pristine shores of Lake Michigan. Our cozy retreat is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy all the beauty and activities of the Michigan coastline. Many of Southwest Michigan‘s most beautiful beaches are located 5-10 minutes away and the drive to downtown St. Joseph is only a quick 7-minute drive along the lake! The neighborhood is small and quaint, perfect for a peaceful and secluded getaway while remaining close to all the wineries, wedding venues, restaurants, and golf courses!

Our cottage is fully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. With two comfortable bedrooms and an expandable couch, our cottage can accommodate up to 5 guests, making it perfect for families and weekend getaways with friends! Enjoy the outdoor area with a fire or relax in the spacious hot tub, with comfortable seating and powerful jets. We also welcome your furry friends with a per-stay fee of $65 (max-2), so feel free to bring them along for the adventure! The kitchen is stocked with all the necessary cooking essentials and the living room has a comfy couch and a flat-screen TV for entertainment. Outside, you'll find a private patio area with a grill, perfect for cookouts on warm evenings. We also have a small fire pit to enjoy during your stay.
Guests can access the house anytime after check-in with a generated code.
Please note: Also located on the property is historic church renovated into another rental situated nearby the home. While close in proximity, it remains fully private, with no shared access between the two buildings. All windows on that side are frosted to ensure comfort and privacy for both spaces.
We are dog-friendly, please no cats. We require a $65 per stay fee (max 2 pets.) You are welcome to include your dog(s) in the booking or we can send a separate invoice. If you choose to bring your pet, please keep them in the designated areas outside and clean up after them!
