We thoroughly enjoyed our guy's reunion weekend here. House is great and stocked with everything you could need. Great fishing down by the river on the property as well! Thanks again for a great stay.

Fabulous place for a family gathering - Tara went above and beyond to help make special accomodations for us, a truly great host.

Lots of room for our group of 6 adults and 4 kids! Clean. Generous with stuff you may need that you may not have packed. A private pond to swim and canoe, a stream in the back yard, games galore, etc. etc. etc. Lots to explore! Close to wineries, Lake Michigan, and the Dunes. We'll book again!

Beautiful piece of property surrounded by nature. Home was rustic, well loved and has lots of history to explore, inside and out. My toddler grandson loved the indoor swing and toy cars and trains, they entertained him for hours. Tara was a gracious and responsive host and her home is well appointed and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay over the Fourth of July.

Annual girls trip! Our group consisted of myself, my mother-in-law and my 4 daughters, ages14-20. When we booked this home, my kids had reservations because of the "barn" and antiques. Little did they know, this would turn out to be one of their favorite vacations. When we pulled into dirt drive and came upon the house- it was so surreal. The first thing we noticed when we walked in was how spacious the main floor is. The couch had ample room for us all to put our feet up and watch movies. The upstairs was great: One bedroom had 1 King bed and 2 sets of bunks. Plenty of room! The other room had a King bed and attached bathroom with a claw foot tub. The tub and views from the patio door were very nice. The kitchen was nicely stocked. Newer stove and spacious refrigerator. Plenty of counter space and plenty of seating in the kitchen and on the porch. All the Antiques- very interesting to check out. The swing in the kitchen- loved by all! Washer/dryer was great. Bathrooms had ample towels & TP- which was nice. Outside: The Canoes at the pond were a bonus & used often to check around the pond and marsh. Seating around the pond and path around it under the covered bridge was neat. Very peaceful watching wildlife & the Koi fish. Listening to the river was relaxing. Tara was an excellent host and very easy to communicate with. Location was great too! 35 min to St Joseph downtown & beach. Niles downtown was nice also. Book a stay here- you won't be disappointed!

Could not recommend house and host more! Everything was fabulous!!!

We enjoyed our time and look forward to coming back. Easy to get to, far enough out of town to enjoy nature and some privacy but also close enough to get to store and nearby towns with ease. Great host, she was so easy to work with. Thank you

Stayed here with a group of friends for a quiet retreat to catch up, and loved the place, friends immediately asked if we could come back next year. The kitchen is well stocked, and the place is fully accessible for folks on wheels- a friend uses an electric chair and had no problem getting around, and accessing all the communal spaces.The decorations speak to a rich and well loved place, and there's seats all along the property to sit by the water, fire pit, etc, with thoughtful notes to help you get around. Our group was especially delighted by the indoor swing and pull up bar by the kitchen. The bathroom situation took a day to get used to, as two are attached to bedrooms, but the upstairs bathroom is accessible from the hallway if both doors are reopened after using. Tara was very communicative, prompt, and generous in her replies, truly a consummate host. All in all, a lovely and well loved place, would definitely stay again.
