    By far our favorite place we have ever stayed. Impressive, something for everyone. No need to have something else nearby to do, just go enjoy this property. The home and property make you relax wether you like it or not. Immaculately maintained. You can see and feel the love that has been put into it everywhere you look. Stop browsing and book yourself a trip.

    We were visiting family in the area and the teens and adults both enjoyed the game room area and numerous things to do. We found the home to be very comfortable, decorated tastefully and all amenities were provided. The yard and outside area is beautiful. There is plenty of privacy. The home is close to shopping, restaurants and recreation. Property access was easy and the owners were very communication and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our five days at this property.

    Beautiful, well kept home on a wooded lot. You can tell the owners really care about their property from the little details that they put into their home. The amenities are fabulous from the game room in the basement to the patio & grill area, no detail was overlooked and we wanted for nothing. When we plan our next trip to the area, we’ll definitely check to see if The Dorothy is available.

    We had a wonderful time at The Dorothy! It was so nice getting to sit outside by the fire pit after a long day at the beach. My son was also in love with all the activities and games to play in the basement. We would absolutely stay there again and again.

    This was an adorably renovated home to stay in for our quick and impromptu visit to Michigan, with some of the nostalgic touches of the home left intact, which I loved because it brought me back to the days growing up visiting at my Memaws! I only wish that I could have stayed longer and hopefully next time when the weather is better...that being said, this is the perfect vacay home full of entertainment for bad weather days- the basement game room was great, a favorite by the whole family! This house had everything stocked that we could have needed, nice coffee/tea station provided, and quick response time from the owner. It is in a cute little quiet neighborhood, and close to several sites and cute beaches. Five stars in my opinion, and we will be back to stay for longer! Thanks guys!

    We were impressed with the perfect landscaping and cleanliness of the house. The outdoor living space was very nice. We wish we would have had time to use the firepit. The wood logs and starters were all nicely available. We appreciated the host's responsiveness and clear communication.

    My family and I stayed at the Dorothy for a Sunday through Tuesday night. The place had everything we needed and ask the extra amenities that made the stay awesome! We had a fire in the backyard every night and the kids played games in the basement every chance they got. It was only a 15 minute drive to a perfect day at Silver Beach. The Dorothy even got rave reviews from teenagers!! We cannot wait to return.

    It’s a great location to spend time with the family. Close to all the St Joseph area attractions and very relaxed place to spend your down time. We had s’mores by the fire after a long day of beaches. Everything was carefully curated by the excellent hosts. Definitely would recommend.
