Very cozy
Hosts were wonderful, and house was great. Very clean, nice neighborhood, large backyard, and easy check in. We only went for one night, but the hosts were awesome with a late arrival and late checkout. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a place in the area.
We enjoyed our stay even though the weather didn’t cooperate. It was close to the town of St Joseph with nice stores and restaurants. The home was clean and had everything you may need. We plan to go again next year and hope to use the fire pit to roast hot dogs and marshmallows. Be sure to know your passwords etc for the TV to work. Thank you Rich and Shelly!
We had a great stay! The house and property were clean and had everything we needed and beyond. We loved being able to eat outside on the patio that was well lit, and make a fire after. There’s plenty of space with the two bedrooms, but other options with the futons. The location was very beautiful with a nice countryside feel neighborhood. We had hoped to be a little closer to town, but it was a manageable distance and worth having a place to cook, lounge and let my toddler run around:) the host for amazing and available by text if we had any questions. Thank you! ❤️
The Dorothy is the perfect place to stay on a beach family vacation. Games in the basement and an outdoor fire pit are perfect entertainment for time spent at the house. You can get to many popular beaches in 10-15 minutes. The house was exactly as pictured and described online. Rich & Shelly responded super quick to any questions we had. The surrounding area was all very nice as well.
This is an adorable home. Very clean and has everything you need! We had an excellent time without any problems. Would come back again for sure and have recommended to friends. Thank you for a great experience!
My sister, my kids, and I really enjoyed our stay in this house! It was so cute....we loved the charm. Easy to get to, nice neighborhood, and close to beaches. Kids loved the game basement! Would love to come back again!!
You are welcomed to this quiet getaway in the country by a lovely yard. The house is just beautiful and has a well stocked game area. Wishing we had a week instead of a weekend to enjoy it all!
We had an amazing time at Shelly and Rich’s house. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the outdoor area and games in the basement. The beach is only a 15 minutes drive. Shelly and Rich were very responsive to our questions. We will be back!
We had just the best week at The Dorothy. It was the perfect launch for our outdoor adventures. We went hiking and swimming at Warren Dunes, kayaking on the Paw Paw River, and played Pickleball nearby at the Lincoln park. This home was also the perfect landing for the few rainy days with the most amazing game room, well equipped kitchen, and cozy living room to stream a movie and snuggle up. Rich and Shelly even gave us advice on where to catch fireworks for the 4th of July.
We absolutely loved our stay. The house was spotless. The location was so convenient to so many attractions around the area. We wish we had more time to enjoy the outdoor area. Would come back in a heartbeat!
Myself, my partner and a couple of our friends stayed at the Dorothy for my partner's birthday weekend and we had the most relaxing, comfortable time! The property was absolutely spotless (my friend who is a house cleaner by profession was very impressed), and my first impression driving up was that the property in its entirety is much bigger than it appears in the pictures, in the best way. The ravine and the surrounding grassy areas were beautiful. Our first morning the canopy had come down and Rich came by to fix it before I had even noticed it had moved. The fire pit was amazing, there was plenty of supplies and space for grilling. Everyone had enough space inside and communication with Shelly and Rich was very easy and comfortable. They gave us a ton of recommendations for restaurants in the area as well. It was obvious they were willing to be as involved or removed from your stay as you preferred! Definitely will be returning when we need some time away.
My small family got together to celebrate my moms birthday, the hosts left a birthday card, up a sign and left a coffee cake! They also tried to accommodate our special needs in other ways. Lovely gathering spot!
Good stay and beautiful place.
Property was perfect for our small family getaway. Clean, very short distance from beautiful views around the water. Will 100% book again soon!
It’s a beautiful place and the beds are super comfortable I hope I get a chance to stay again someday
We had a great time. The house was enjoyable with a group of friends.
Enjoyable stay, fishing wasn't to good this time around but the outdoor space was great for a BBQ, campfire and nice spot for a couple adult beverages.
Wonderful property!
Nice, clean house with a great yard. Close to anything you could need.
Are stay was wonderful everything we needed they supplied awesome area if we had any problems they were there to help with any questions i highly recommend if your looking for a place to stay for two days three days even longer you will be highly satisfied.
We loved staying at this property! It is the most home like property I've ever rented and we would definitely go back. All the towns were super convenient to get to pretty quickly from this location and the hiking at nearby Grand Mere State Park was amazing!
This home is so precious and comfortable, beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and has everything you could possibly need. The hosts are friendly, accommodating and are very timely with communication. When I booked for Christmas day, they decorated for Christmas just for us. What a wonderful Christmas we all had there.
Gorgeous property; beautiful home; perfect location!
