A two-story 4 bedroom 2 bath cottage just blocks from the beach, downtown St. Joseph, and many other attractions and points of interest. Up on the bluff, so you don’t have the crowds and the walk up the bluff to town. Perfect for one or two families. Sleeps 9, with kitchenette and breakfast nook upstairs and full kitchen and dining room downstairs. Parking for 2 cars and an easy walk to Silver Beach, Whirlpool Fountain, restaurants and many other local attractions. Free WiFi internet,Central AC. Charcoal grill. No yard but front porch for relaxing in this quiet, historic, old neighborhood in historic section of Old St Jo. This is not a commercial rental but our own home now offered to guests who appreciate homey ambiance. We are not professional rental hosts. We are an older retired couple who planned to live out our days in this house but necessity dictated a smaller one-story, so we decided to make our home available to families who want to experience old Saint Joseph as it used to be. This hundred year old house is full of good memories and we hope you enjoy adding to them.

    This is the third time we have stayed at this property and we are always pleased. There is plenty of room with the upstairs apartment. It is a 100 y/o home though so electrical outlets are in short supply. We brought a couple of power strips to help as my daughter and her partner had to work remotely. The lightbulbs in the LR lamps are pretty dim - next year I'll bring mine to switch out while we are there. I need a lot of light to read at night as we did not even turn on the TV. There was one minor issue after the rainstorm and the owners responded almost immediately and it was resolved within a few hours. Everything was great and we hope to book again for next year. We can walk everywhere and the neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful.

    We have stayed in this cottage each summer for many years. Location is ideal for walking distance to downtown and other things. Family suggests a few updates at the cottage. Such as newer sofas , electrical outlets a few need repaired. We would highly recommend this cottage.

    This was our 3rd time staying here, and we just love it. Being able to walk to almost all of our favorite places is perfect for us, and the hosts are very helpful and easy to work with.

    Had a great time. Good location to get to town and beach. Plenty of room for everyone. Grand daughters loved having their “own” kitchen upstairs.

    This is our second time at this property and I was really happy that the owners had addressed our primary issue from last year (rocking toilet). The only feedback for this year is: 1. Pls include instructions on using the TV w/Roku. We don't actually use Roku - we still have Xfinity so this was very challenging even though wea re not big TV watchers - we did want to see the Democratic convention. We finally got through the correct sequence of buttons but it was a struggle to be honest. 2. There were no washcloths left out and really no extra towels at all (not what we remembered from last year). We did raid one of the owner closets to get a couple of washcloths. If these are items we need to bring (like Europe) then pls include in the listing. 3. The new wagon was great - we used every day and just put it in the back of the car each night and locked it up. thank you so much! 4. The hot water tap in the downstairs BR just started to drip the last few days. I assume you pay for water so wanted to make sure you were aware of this potential issue. Otherwise things were fine (oh there were lo9st of DVDs but no DVD player??). Great location - walked everywhere - and very quiet. Neighbor Jan from Lansing is just delightful and very friendly (we met him in the alley). Denise

    We loved how close it was to downtown St. Joseph and how we could walk there from the property. There was plenty of space in the rental which was also nice.

    The perfect cottage for a week's stay in the cutest beach town! The ONLY thing i might critique is maybe updating some of the furniture as it has clearly had some use over the years (very obvious to see why as this is a perfect rental for the area). I'm still giving it 5 stars as it is worthy of it!

    The house was charming & perfect for our extended family. Location was ideal - we could walk everywhere. We cooked most of our meals-the kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment. It was a great vacation!

    We have stayed at this property almost every year since 2016! We absolutely love the home and it is close to shops and downtown and the beach. Chris is always a joy to talk to and she is thoughtful and responsive. We love our trips here and recommend the property to anyone looking to explore the third coast ♥️
