This cozy cottage is located in a quaint St. Joseph neighborhood with breath-taking views of Lake Michigan (200 feet from bluff). It is within walking distance to one of several beaches the area has to offer and is minutes from Downtown Saint Joseph which offers fun activities for the family, great restaurants and the nationally acclaimed Harbor Shores golf course which has hosted the Senior PGA championship. The property is only 50 minutes away from Notre Dame Stadium and is a great option if you're planning a football weekend. In most cases during football season, we are able to waive the 4 night minimum stay.

The renovated cottage includes a beautiful stone patio which is a perfect place to relax and watch the sunset. The kitchen is equipped with state-of-the- art appliances, granite counter-tops and oak flooring. The nautical themed living room opens up to a cozy sun-room facing the lake. The four bedrooms each sleep two. Off the kitchen there is a sliding door to a back deck with views of the lake and a gas grill

A security camera is located on the garage to monitor driveway for activity.

It was just as described in the listing. The location was terrific, with a view of the water from the dining area, a nice size back deck with grill and located in a very nice neighborhood. Close to all we wanted to do in St. Joseph. The house had everything we needed with a well stocked kitchen, and in the basement we found beach towels and some sand toys for the granddaughter. Some nice extra touches too with beautiful fresh flowers on the dining table and a large container of delicious chocolate chip cookies on the kitchen table. The owner was great with staying in touch and answering any questions I had before our arrival. Instructions for entering the house were clear and arrived in a timely manner, and nice clear instructions on the checkout procedure was left right where we could find them. We had a wonderful stay and I would definitely recommend this property!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was perfect for family dinners and game nights. We loved that we could walk down the street to view the sunset every night. The house was clean and the property manager was excellent at communicating with us. It was close to the beach and downtown and was kid-friendly. We definitely recommend the cottage and look forward to renting it again.

"Cozy cottage" is the perfect name for this place! We had a wonderful time and were so impressed with the number of amenities available. The host worked with us on a last minute change in numbers and notified of extra bedding that was available. We utilized the beach toys, there were all the basic kitchen needs. We had 8 family members in and out, including 2 under 3 years old. The fact there were a few kids toys they could get out was so nice! We didn't bring a pack'n'play, but the extra twin mattress that could be used on the ground was perfect for them. There were thoughtful touches, like fresh flowers and the *most amazing* chocolate chip cookies waiting for us on arrival. Very nice neighborhood, we took a couple walks to trails but it is quite a distance to be able to walk to a beach- less than a 10 minute drive though! Only regret is we didn't stay longer!

We enjoyed our stay at the cozy cottage. It was perfect for our family of six adults and one small child. We were able to walk in the beautiful neighborhood and watch the sunset over the lake. We had easy access to the beach, restaurants, grocery store and coffee shop. The house was well stocked and had plenty of space in the living room for all of us. There was ample table space indoors and out with a distant view of the lake. The home has vintage character and has been nicely updated. Fresh flowers and delicious chocolate chip cookies welcomed us. Responses to our texts/ call were prompt. Highly recommend this home.

Perfect location. Quiet neighborhood just steps away from the sunset on the lake each night. We walked to the art fair on the bluff. Grandma, Aunt and Uncle slept in the downstairs bedrooms while the young family members with two children (2 and 5 years of age) had their privacy upstairs with their own bedrooms and bath. The kids loved the bunk beds. St Joe never disappoints. We had a great time. The check in process was very easy and we were welcomed with fresh flowers and home baked cookies. The cookies were a big hit! Thanks to the owners for sharing their lovely home and thinking of everything.

My family and I always look to rent a different house for our summer vacations to Lake Michigan. The decision was unanimous, this house was everyone's favorite. We were less than a five minute drive to Silver Beach or downtown St Joseph. We were also able to walk down the quiet neighborhood streets and watch the sunsets over the lake in the evening.

Came for a fall weekend with my two kids and 80 yo mom. The house was exactly as pictured in a beautiful neighborhood, loved being able to walk down the street to see the sunset and lake.

Comfortable space for my out of state kids and grandkids to have a short reunion. Can't walk to the beach, but a quick drive to Jean Klock beach (less crowded than Silver Beach) and short drive into town. Appreciated the two eating spaces. We used the extra mattress that was in a closet for a guest that was only there for one night

I have been heading to St. Joseph my whole life for summer fun in the sun. We were so grateful to be able to share this treasure with our friends. The cottage was well stocked and seemed very well thought out. Lots of space to spread out in a quiet neighborhood. We were close enough to get to the beach within a few minutes everyday, but the house was so comfy we could just stay in and enjoy the quiet of the neighborhood.

"The stay in St. Joe was so much fun. The home is located really close to everything...even an ice cream place a short walk away. Inside, you will find lots of really big windows and natural light and plenty of space to strech out or play games after a long day at the beach. Host was always great about communicating and you can tell how much this home is loved. Five star vacation this year!!!"

My friends and I wanted to have a ladies retreat weekend, so we settled on the Cozy Cottage hoping it would be enough space for 6 of us and we were not disappointed! The 4 bedrooms and ample seating and dining areas give plenty of space for a larger group. In one of the upstairs bedrooms we even found a twin sized mattress in the closet so 6 people can sleep comfortably without sharing beds (if someone is brave enough for the top bunk). The upstairs is not connected to the central AC but there are window units in the rooms so you can cool it down for sleeping, but it was quite warm up there at check in. Check in and out processes were clearly detailed for us by the host and we really appreciated the information left on the entry table. There were even QR codes for local activities and restaurants! It was very detailed and such a nice touch. Our group really enjoyed sitting outside in the mornings. You can see the lake through the neighbors yard and its so peaceful. Also a very nice area for a walk. The driveway fit the 3 vehicles we brought as a group but would definitely not fit more than that. St Joe is a great little town and this is a perfect house for a relaxing getaway. We hope to come back!

We had such a lovely time staying in this charming home. The hosts had thought of everything- store loyalty cards on the keys, warm chocolate chip cookies and fresh flowers waiting for us, plenty of throw blankets, a well organized and appointed kitchen, beach towels, etc. The downstairs beds were firm, which we did not mind but may be an issue depending on your preferences. The neighborhood was quiet and lovely, and you can see the lake from the dining room and patio. We would absolutely stay here again!

Our first vacay to Michigan, and we were not disappointed. The personal touches provided by the owners were a pleasant surprise! The house had everything we needed and extra!!! Plenty of blankets, towels, toiletry items and a well stocked kitchen! I didn’t know there was a basement and that was a nice surprise as my kids had a fun place to play and run wild even when it was scorching hot or rained.

This well maintained, well stocked, clean cottage was a fabulous getaway. The quiet, residential neighborhood was welcoming and the beaches were close. The comfortable spaces lent themselves to several simultaneous activities and the 2 patios were used regularly. Communication with the owner was easy. We look forward to returning.
