    It was refreshing and relaxing getting out of the city and checking out a quaint little town. There were so many things to see and do. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Lots of air flow and fans provided. It was nice having multiple bathrooms for multiple people. We had a lovely time.

    We had a great time at this house. It is an old house, but so charming and very clean. The beds were super comfy and the bathrooms and kitchen had everything you would need. Cindy was easy to communicate with. The house is located downtown and you can easily walk into town. We drove only because it was a little cooler, weather wise, but it was a 2 min drive and there is tons of free parking in town. We would definitely stay here again.

    Charming little house was in a perfect location. Check in was easy and house was very clean. Easy short walk to downtown St. Joseph, restaurants and shopping. Golf course was short drive. The owner, Cindy, was very helpful with suggestions for dining and events. There a fire house right next door and a church behind the house, so sleeping was a challenge at times since the church chimes ring EVERY hour all night long! Thank goodness there werent any sirens at night from the fire station too!

    Location is great. Through instructions and easy access. Walk to restaurants and shops and Silver beach for sunset. Everyone had their own room. Nice having a powder room down stairs. If there were elderly or folks with climbing issues the stairs could be a problem. Wouldn’t suggest a brighter strip of paint on the last step and at the landing. Otherwise great place to stay

    Great location. Stairs would be dangerous for elderly or small children. A bit dark and gloomy. Beds were great and everything very clean. Extra charge for bath towels seemed a bit crazy so we didn't use them. Overall a good stay.
