Our cozy, family-friendly, newly remodeled cottage is a stone's throw from Lake Michigan and near Harbor Shores. Great location for peace and quiet, surrounded by trees on a large wooded property and isolated from any nearby neighbors. It's close to beautiful downtown St. Joseph, but also not far at all to South Haven and Coloma. Beaches, boating, several golf courses and great dining are all closeby. Home is quiet, private, clean and cozy.

Vaulted ceilings over the kitchen, dining, and living areas. Two general sleeping areas: one we like to call the Lake Suite with 3 beds, study area and sink, and the other slepping area contains 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. Reclaimed wood can be found throughout the cottage from the former fruit stand that once was on the property. Everything here is brand new including the kitchen, bathroom, flooring and carpet, windows, paint and trim. We wanted to create a very comfortable space that would provide a cozy experience for you to relax and unwind all year. Check out the photos, we think you'll enjoy it!!

Rural wooded setting across the street from Lake Michigan. Closest neighbors are over 300' away. 8 minute drive from St Joseph and 20 minute drive from South Haven.

The exterior driveway is monitored by exterior camera for security and safety.

    Plenty of room for our family, the kids took up to back room and had a blast! Right off of M-63, which was a direct route to everywhere we wanted to go nearby. Plenty of room in the yard, fire pit was fun and we enjoyed scavenging in the woods. The house was clean and decorated beautifully. Our stay was very pleasant and comfortable.

    We really enjoyed our stay here! The backyard was nice, big, and private! Our kids loved playing around there when we were at the house. It is on a busy road that you can hear from inside during busy traffic hours. But after a day or so I didn’t notice it as much. Overall we would stay here again. It was an easy distance to both St Joseph and South Haven.

    The home was exactly as described. Clean, comfortable and a well stocked kitchen. Myself and my two besties enjoyed staying at the cottage. The weather was perfect for a bonfire every night. The first night we had enough firewood but then ran out. The host was responsive and a new rack of wood was brought in. I highy recommend this place. Only negative, is the house sits on a busy road. Couldn’t hear anything in side, but could get noisy when outside. We will be back.

    Adorable little blue cottage. It worked out for a weekend away with our 3 year old and 4 month old. Cons- 1 bathroom.. ants in bathroom.. dirty vent… long grassCool across from the lake just wish public access to beach closer. We liked Rocky Gap.Pros- entrance to cottage surprising and updated. Loved the look of the kitchen. Had nice warm showers with excellent water pressureDaughter loved the bunk beds Not far from things to do in St. Joseph’s or South haven. Very good communication with hosts

    Me and the girls had a wonderful weekend for our girls mini getaway. Kira was a wonderful host! Great communication throughout the whole process. The cottage was so nice and very clean. We did not struggle to get inside at all. The cottage is close to all the shops and the beach. Everyone is so nice, everywhere we went. We will definitely come back! Thank you for sharing your cottage Kira! 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for a cute cottage.

    Passed through the area and the place was perfect for my needs. Host was responsive and check-in was easy. Next time I'll bring my family and have a longer stay.

    My husband and I were grateful to have such wonderful hosts during our time of bereavement. The hosts were super quick to respond, the location was great and the house was immaculate. Check in and out was easy. In spite of the situation, we had a great stay. Thanks so much!

    This is a great little place with plenty of space to spread out. The “lake suite” is a wonderful bonus especially with kids! Great location, close to several destinations. Owners are very responsive and helpful.
