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.

    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.

    This place was perfect for a long weekend beach vacation with a family of teenagers! Just close enough to great beaches and shopping. The house was adorable and had ample space for all of us. The teens enjoyed their own “space” with the bonus room!

    Great place for a family. The place isn't only exceptionally clean, it's well decorated and very comfortable. Loved how they had coffee sitting ready for us to use in the morning. Only 5 minutes north of St. Joseph (i.e. great location). Hosts were extremely responsive and very nice. Great stay!

    The Little Blue Cottage was perfect for our family’s getaway! Kira and Jean have thought of and provided everything necessary for families to feel at home away from home. The location is fantastic and the house had plenty of room for all of us.

    We had a great stay visiting family in Michigan. So much to do and everything is very close to the cottage (downtown St. Joes, Silver Beach, etc). The cottage is awesome for families and we felt like we had room to spread out. Host was also very communicative. Thanks for a fun trip!
