Benton Harbor, Michigan
This stunning 3 level contemporary single family home was completed the end of 2015. Everything is new! House is located on a bluff with gorgeous views of Lake Michigan from virtually every room in the house. Property includes 200ft of private beach (NOTE: there are 225 stairs down to beach). 7 bedrooms (1 bunk room), 5 1/2 baths, 2 separate entertainment areas. Perfect for 2 or 3 families. Kitchen and main living area are on the 2nd floor with a HUGE wrap around deck with spectacular views. There are two 3rd floor Master suites with huge bathrooms and their own 3rd floor deck. Sunset viewing and fires on the beach a must!
Our house has the best of both worlds...private lakefront get away from the hustle and bustle, but it is only 5 miles north of downtown St. Joseph. St. Joe is a GREAT harbor town with nice restaurants, adorable shops, and an old-fashioned dime store. Very family friendly with a indoor merry-go-round and hands-on kid's museum steps from the beach. World class golf, vineyards/wine tasting, and u-pick apples and peaches. Come check it out!!
We had an awesome time with our 3 adult children, their spouses and our 8 grandchildren. Room for everyone! Fabulous time. My only critique is that the fridge is way too small for the size of the house.
Perfect place for families
This was an absolutely amazing home. A group of friends and I rented this home for the weekend and was a weekend to remember. The house had everything we needed. I would definitely rent it again.
Photos did not deceive. This place was great for large gatherings!
We were impressed! There were some things that need to be addressed. Ice maker does not work on the refrigerator, no screens on top floor bedroom sliding doors, no screens on sliding doors on 1st or 2nd level. The starter on the grill does not work, toilet seats are too small on some of the bathrooms. Overall this is a beautiful place! The landscaping is top notch and the beach is second to none. We definitely enjoyed our stay!
We loved everything about this awesome house and property! Even the many stairs down to the beach are worth what awaits you at the bottom. The beach was wonderful and our children and grandchildren had the time of their lives. We are grateful for this time together!
The owner was super responsive and accommodating. There was so much space for my family and we had an amazing time! The steps to the beach were worth the hike, it was so well kept and beautiful!
This was out second time at this place (last time in 2019), and this time the lake was not so high up there was no beach - we had a HUGE PRIVATE beach all to ourselves and it was wonderful!! Everything is provided for the house and the beach - beach chairs, umbrellas, a beautiful Kayak and paddle boards. The water was shallow far out - perfect for young grandkids. We were 7 children and 7 adults and had plenty of room and bedrooms and bathrooms. Even the 2 year old walked up the long staircase to the beach - we got our exercise in every day. The grandparents were able to handle it as well. So much is perfect here - the gorgeous view of Lake Michigan out of the huge windows on the lake side, the beautiful sunsets (even though the haze from the fires in Canada dimmed some of them), the back yard for the kids to spread out and play, and the basketball court across the street. Two washers and dryers to keep up with kid's clothes and beach towels - (these are also provided). Thank you to a responsive and wonderful owner for a vacation place our grandsons want us to buy!!
From two-year old twins to Great Grandma Joyce (90), everyone enjoyed the gorgeous lake views and roomy kitchen/dining area. The teenagers had fun with the stand up paddle boarding and kayaking and lots of beautiful beach. Great Grandma shared a bathroom with my husband and I but our three sons and their wives had their own bathroom as did the teenagers which made everyone happy. A great time had by all!
This place was fantastic. It’s huge, clean, and the view is absolutely incredible. Process was very easy and it was a perfect fit for our family to get together and do a little cook out! Highly recommend.
Everyone loved the place. It had plenty of space with lots to do. The views were top notch. Would stay here again!
We stayed here for my sister’s bachelorette in March. The pictures on the site did not do it justice. Each morning we woke up to picturesque snow over the lake and on the trees. Driving through the neighborhood felt like a holiday car commercial. The house itself was able to comfortably sleep all 13 girls, give breakout space for the girls to check in with their families, and a large kitchen and living room that was perfect for the group. Would 1000% stay there again - I can’t imagine what this place would be like in the summer season! The only qualm we had was that some of the soaps were expired and the floors needed to have been mopped before our stay, but these are easy fixes that didn’t impact the overall quality of our stay.
This is a beautiful modern house right on the lake. Our group had 10 adults and there was plenty of room for everyone. This is our fifth year staying here and we will be back next year. The owner is very responsive and keeps the place in excellent condition.
Great rental!
Anyone can take a good picture. This place matched the photos, thus as advertised Spacious, living room and kitchen area separte from sleeping quarters. All good!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Lake Michigan with our children and grandchildren. The layout provides so many great areas to gather or sneak away for some quiet time. The grandchildren slept well in the basement bedrooms - for naptime as well - where they had great window coverings for a dark setting even on a sunny day. The older ones loved the bunkroom. They had good sized sturdy bunks and a couple nice couches that convert to futons if extra sleep space is needed. Our family cooks and the kitchen had enough utensils, pans, etc to put on a big spread. Every sleeping area had a bathroom which really was great. We got our exercise going to the beach on the 200+ steps - up and down stairs - but the beach was virtually our private getaway! It appeared that many of the homes nearby don't have steps down for beach access so it really is a perk. We also enjoyed the fire pit for s'mores and the basketball hoop across the drive. We very much appreciated the opportunity for the week long getaway. Many thanks!!
This is a beautiful place for a large family vacation of all ages. We enjoyed everything, beautiful sunsets nice beach and everybody had room to spread out at the end of the night
This house is large, comfortable and can easily accommodate a large group or family. The views of Lake Michigan, which you can see from all levels of this house, are amazing. Especially the sunsets! The house is clean and well stocked with all the essentials you need. The back yard is great for fires or for playing outdoor games. The stairs down to the beach can be a challenge but worth the effort. For those that don’t want to take on the 200 plus stairs, Silver Beach is a short drive away. I highly recommend this property. It was a great option for our family.
Our bride, my daughter, made her first appearance walking down the staircase to family gathered around. This home is gorgeous, and everyone loved staying here. Over and over I heard, how did you find this place? Tienne was communicative and clear. We loved the kitchen and large grill to feed our family. We loved the beach, too. This home is perfect for a large gathering of family and friends.
Tienne’s Lake Michigan house was perfect in every way for our annual friends’ gathering! The house was spacious, immaculate and well-supplied in every way from kitchen to beds & baths. With lovely lake views, this house is convenient to St.Joseph shops & restaurants as well as several wineries. The host was easy to work with & always quick to respond to any questions. I’d highly recommend this property!
The house was great for our our family gathering. Everything in the house was well appointed including the kitchen. The house is beautiful with plenty of room to spread out.
