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

Lovely people, clean - updated - airy house. Pond and fire pit on property were wonderful!!!

Beautiful property and great stay!

Wonderful place to stay close to the dunes and beach. Nice private area with separate entrance. Hosts were kind and responsive. Clear instructions for check in/out.

Beautiful scenery and views from a spacious Vrbo. Clean and well equipped. Enjoyed our overnight stay.

Mike and Lisa's property was so lovely. An absolutely perfect place for a getaway if you're looking for a peaceful and quiet spot. My husband and I and our friends were pleased and very much enjoyed our stay here. Our only regret was not getting to meet Mike and Lisa personally. Highly recommend the Shire.

Beautiful place, well kept, very clean, peaceful surroundings, easy and convenient parking. Great location to wineries. Will definitely return for another visit.

Great stay!

Great property and attentive hosts

This was such a quiet, cozy spot! My son loved watching the fish in the pond. Everything was very clean and comfortable. We would highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful property, lovely hosts, definitely family friendly

Clean and quiet. Easy to find and super nice people.

We stayed 3 nights at The Shire. It was very cozy, clean and the location was perfect for us. The only thing we experienced was a musty smell in the main bedroom and bathroom. However, Mike did explain it was due to the air conditioner which was fixed a few days prior but the mustiness was still lingering. Mike immediately brought in a dehumidifier and that solved the problem.

Beautiful country setting, so peaceful, yet just 10 minutes to local stores and restaurants. It was nice having our private drive to the main road, The rental was spotlessly clean with all the amenities you could need. We were about 15 minutes from Saint Joseph's restaurants and shops. Tiscornia Beach is what dreams are made of. Hope to return in the future.

Wonderful stay! Communicative and friendly hosts, and a clean and welcoming space. Perfect for a girl's weekend!

As described, would stay again

Very good would highly recommend.

We stayed Friday through Sunday. It was comfortable, very nice, well stocked, beautiful property and great location. Peaceful country location and yet close to lake Michigan and many restaurants and stores within a few miles. Beautiful fire pit area next to the pond that has string lights. Just a very relaxing, comfortable, well maintained and truly nice place!!!

Came for a 2 night stay with my wife and 2 toddlers. I like how secluded it was. Very clean and a lot of amenities that were useful to parents. Only down side was the tub drain didn’t stay down so we couldn’t give kids a bath so we settled for very quick screaming showers, but that’s no big deal. I would recommend a kid friendly toilet seat for the future!

I was blown away by how awesome it was. From the beautiful area to the fan favorite pingpong table we had a blast!! We would 100 percent stay at The Shire again! The hosts are amazing people and very friendly!! Everything was in driving distance which was great. My family had a blast feeding the fish and making s'mores by the campfire.

Nicely tucked away place. Right size for either a couple or small family. 15-20 minutea away from dunes, St. Joe's, and wineries.Hosts were great, treating you as their personal guests. We hope to return.

We had a group of four for a wine tasting getaway. Loved the property. The pond and fire pit areas are peaceful. The host left a book with restaurants/attractions nearby. We enjoyed our stay!

Clean, pretty, beautiful setting in country. Only stayed overnight but wish was longer

My daughter and I were so impressed with the Shire. It’s lovely, clean and comfortable. The property is beautiful. We had a great stay and look forward to staying here again in the future. The hosts take great pride in their property and communicate well to ensure their guests are comfortable.

It was a short stay but everything was perfect, easy to access, very clean , very comfortable! We will be back !

We spent the night here and loved the place! I wish we could have scheduled a spring or summer weather trip. It’s very peaceful and beautiful. Beds are comfortable and the place is very clean. Mike is quick to reply with questions.

We dashed over to Michigan for a girls wine tasting sleep over. We enjoyed our stay at The Shire. The host was extremely accommodating. The Shire had every amenity that we desired and more...we will be back soon!

Everything was amazing! We had such a great time!

Mid winter is not the typical rental season for this property but there was plenty of heat to get the spaces warm and cozy. The unit is a nicely converted pole barn with thoughtful ameninites and a communicative host. Property is close to Lemon Creek and Round Barn wineries as well as near to Berrien Springs. We will definitely be back!

We truly enjoyed our stay here, we go to Michigan often and The shire is close to everything we love to do. BBeacommunicatbeaproperty.

We loved our stay at Mike and Lisa's place. Our son loved feeding the fish and roasting smores at the firepit. The home was clean, beds comfortable and necessities stocked. We did not take advantage of the bonus space, but you could easily sleep another 1-2 people there. Mike welcomed us upon arrival and showed us the house and where things were. The grounds and vineyards beyond were lovely to walk through. Highly recommend if in the area.

The Shire is absolutely Lovely! Pictures do not do it justice, it’s even more beautiful in person!! The hosts are wonderful and so accommodating! Every detail is top notch, the beds are fabulous and so comfortable we all slept so good! Visited wineries and breweries and ate some great food too and of course had to see the beautiful Lake Michigan and went to Silver beach. We had an amazing stay here and will definitely be back!

Was a very nice place to stay with a nice pond and bon fire. Communication was great and they let us drop our cars off before check in time so we could start our day.

House was immaculate! Owner was super nice. Highly recommend.

Lovely home. Beautiful property. Very Clean. Comfortable bed Perfect location close to everything. Gracious host easy to communicate with.
