About this bed and breakfast
Nestled on five secluded, tree-lined acres, with a pond, waterfall, fire pit, tree swing, basketball court and walking trails, The Shire feels a million miles away from it all - but isn't! We are only minutes away from wineries, breweries, amazing beaches, restaurants and shopping. (Notre Dame is an easy 30 minute drive).
Southwest Michigan is a beautiful place to live!
We'd LOVE to share it with you.
This is a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom 1,100 apartment located on the backside of the outbuilding on our property - completely out of the sight lines to our home which is about 50 yards away.
We have a pond with a waterfall and a deck to enjoy both. Enjoy the fire pit and tree swing, walking trails and 2 acre open field. There is a 1/2 court basketball, beach supplies in the front closet.

My husband and I were interested in a quick visit close to wineries. We really enjoyed Lemon Creek and Domaine Berrien. We found the rental to be as advertised. It was very cute and well cared for. We would certainly rent again.

We had a wonderful weekend stay at The Shire! Mike was so welcoming and personable. The property was beautiful and spacious and the house was perfect. Our family of 6 stayed there for a long weekend. The kids loved the basketball court and huge yard to play catch in, the swing overlooking the pond, and the huge and very spacious garage where they played ping pong and bag toss! Thank you for great stay!

We visited The Shire for a mother-daughter weekend to celebrate our mom's 70th birthday. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect location and would love to come back sometime. The Shire is remarkably clean, the beds are very comfortable, and the space in general is very nice. Due to weather we weren't able to enjoy the outdoor activities, but the property is the precise definition of beautiful country living. This home is in close proximity to all of the shopping, dining, and recreation you could want. The hosts sent us a personal message prior to our arrival and made themselves available should we need any assistance. Thank you for opening your beautiful home to us. It was just perfect.

We enjoyed our stay at The Shire. The property is a beautiful and peaceful place to hang out. Coffee on the patio and walking to the vineyard was cool. We enjoyed beach views, shopping in St. Joes, silver beach pizza! A day at silver beach and playing games back at the house! Perfect getaway!!!

We absolutely loved our time at the Shire. The home is very clean and the space was perfect for our family with two daughters. They loved playing on the basketball court and in the rec room and feeding the fish. The kitchen was easy to cook in and we appreciated the on-site laundry facilities. We enjoyed the easy access to all that Saint Joe has to offer and blueberry picking at bredeweg’s right down the road. Mike and Lisa were very helpful and easy to work with. We look forward to returning to the Shire in the future.

Beautiful Property! Was clean. Mike answered all of our questions in a timely manner. After wine tasting at a few local wineries, we sat by the pond and were able to walk through a path that lead through the cornfields as well as grape vines! Kitchen was outfitted perfectly with seasoning for grilling. We would love to visit again in the near future!

I recently stayed at Mike and Lisa’s place for a weekend with friends and we had a great time! It’s a beautiful property and a short drive to St. Joe’s. The place was clean, spacious and Mike was super friendly and responsive. Would definitely stay here again - highly recommend!

This was a wonderful property! Mike and Lisa are incredible hosts. We experienced rest and reflection for several days, and also enjoyed great food, cute shops and wine tasting nearby. We loved sitting by their pond and waterfall to read. The outside space was just perfect for outdoor breakfasts and lunches. We enjoyed a walking near the vineyard close by and a gorgeous hike through the dunes to see beautiful Lake Michigan (Thanks to Lisa for personally showing us where to go!). The apartment was clean and we had everything we needed. We could not recommend this place more!

The place is amazing! You have lots of room outside to to relax and spend time and plenty of space inside as well. Our kids loved the game room where they layed ping pong, running races, and checkers. They enjoyed basketball outside, swinging, making smores at the fire pit akd feeding the fish. It was nice relaxing on the back patio in the morning or in the evening and enjoying the peace and quiet. There was plenty of space for our family of 7 to sleep. The kitchen is stocked with all the supplies you need to cook meals and there is a grill outisde to use as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the area!

We loved the house we were able to stay in. Our kids had a great time with all the games around the property (basketball, ping-pong, bocce ball, and others. They really liked being able to explore the small pond and feed the fish.
Loved the small town feel of the area and being able to get away for a while.
We wish we would've been able to stay longer!
Thanks!

We were visiting friends in W. MI and needed someplace close to stay. Ended up at this very clean & quaint house on a nice piece of property.
Even though we arrived late, the owners were very accommodating and communicated with us throughout our visit.

Place was nice, modern and clean. We enjoyed our stay. Heat was a bit odd, having to regulate each room, but figured out. Also, internet was out.

The peacefulness of this property is amazing! Close to anything you would need but far enough away to enjoy the quiet countryside. We look forward to renting again when we are in the area.

This is a great, very clean place with all the amenities you would need. It is just as pictured and includes a very large game room as an additional gathering space. Bonus! The grounds are vast and serene. The host is welcoming and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. This was my second time reserving this house and it will not be my last. Bring a fire stick if you want to watch your favorite apps. Or bring your favorite DVD’s. There is also a Redbox nearby and Tabor Hill wine tasting is super close as well. Thoroughly enjoyed the space, complimentary comfy beds, and location. Don’t hesitate to book it.

We enjoyed staying here while visiting family. Property was nice and comfortable.
Only concern was the home was very cold upon arrival and the back bedroom with twin beds remained cold throughout our stay(even using small space heater).
