Nice location to beaches, St. Joseph, Benton Harbor. It was a short distance from town, but far enough to be in the woods. Grand kids enjoyed the play area, games and books. Enjoyed that there were 2 king size beds, very hard to find that anywhere without have to pay way over my budget.

10/10 host and great CLEAN property with many activities for all ages. Will come again.

This house has tons of space and we enjoyed our stay. Beds were very comfortable. The beach is amazing. Enjoyed our stay!

Very special touches i.e. coffee and tea station, games and recreation area for kids, sound machines in each bedroom, s'more gift bag and beach toys/chairs etc... Great location between St. Joe and South Haven.

Love the location right in the middle of some amazing beaches! We split time between South Haven and St Joe! Location provides a quiet wooded retreat with easy and short access to beach town activity!

My family (husband, 12-year-old son, and 80-year-old aunt) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The basement was a huge hit (ping-pong table, air-hockey table, basketball throwing machine, and Nintendo), as was the extensive selection of games from the closet. We loved the fire pit at night and ate many of our meals on the outdoor patio. Breakfast was made more special with the waffle mix, syrup, waffle iron, and a complete selection of coffee and teas that were supplied. All of the bedrooms were bright and uniquely decorated. We all slept very well. Overall, the property was homey, comfortable, and welcoming. We hated to leave. The only thing I would add is that while the listing stated that there were two full bathrooms, we didn't realize that the second one was in the basement. It was not a problem as my hubby, son and I utilized that one and we were easily able to make the trips up and down. (Our elderly family member needed to have her bathroom.) That information on the listing would not have adversely impacted our decision to book the property, but it would have been helpful to know ahead of time. Additionally, we used the towel rack from the upstairs bathroom in the basement bathroom because there was nowhere to hang our bath towels. However, these are all very minor potential improvements for an otherwise outstanding property. The host was super helpful and responded promptly to the questions we had once we arrived. Overall, it was a great experience! Thanks!

Sarah was amazing with her quick responses, information and helped make our weekend so memorable. It was a celebration for my mom and her twin sisters 75th birthday. Sarah had a gift for both of the birthday girls along with decorations. The owners put a hand railing on the front porch prior to our arrival, knowing my mom was using a walker and needed assistance. The home was perfect for 5 women, but I would definitely revisit and bring my adult children and our grandchildren. A short walk to a beautiful beach and a private backyard.

This house was great! Amenities were awesome and super close to beaches! Thank you Sarah and family! Great hostess!!!

Great home in between St. Joes and South Haven. You can do both in one weekend. House is cute and cozy. Stocked with all sorts of stuff and a basement with toys and games for the kids. Yard has a gas grille, large driveway and ice cold air conditioning to cool you off on a hot day. Perfect spot for us to stay at. Thank you Sarah!!

It was a perfect place to stay for our group, which was made up of two couples and one 11 year old. Each had their own bedroom. The basement is full of fun games, including a ping pong table, air hockey table, pop-a-shot, and a Super Nintendo! There are also more board games upstairs. The backyard has some highway noise, but with a fire pit and a grill, it is a great place to hang out and enjoy the evening. The place was clean and well-stocked. It's a close drive to beaches, hiking trails, shopping, and restaurants in several different directions. Definitely recommend!

We appreciated the quiet and cozy atmosphere and the close proximity to the public beach. Cute décor too! Thanks for all the essentials and amenities.

This property is minutes from a small public beach that wasn't too busy. It was convenient with little kids to go for an hour or two and then be able to quickly get home for naps. The placement was also great being within 15 minutes of South Haven and 15 minutes from St. Joseph. Our kids enjoyed all the toys available in the home. The owner was very responsive when we asked questions of places to check out. They also left a handy binder full of places to check out. We loved going to the rock beach and collecting a bunch of rocks, not something we would of thought to seek out on our own. Our only complaint is when we showed up the floor was sandy and there was food left in the oven. But that was probably a fluke because the rest of the trip was great.

The cottage is cozy and welcoming with bright, cheerful decor. The hosts have thought of so many little touches that made everything so easy. The kids loved the rec room and family ping pong became an evening activity the entire stay. The beds are super comfortable. It's a short hop to a lovely beach area. We'll definitely be back!

We had a great stay! Everything was as expected and the host thought of everything that a family may need while there. Great location for exploring the different beaches and communities.

Our family enjoyed everything about this beautiful home. It is definitely a home away from home. The grill worked great ! Plenty of bathroom extras , lots of bedding and blankets if needed. Cute back yard with a fire pit. The basement kept the kiddos busy and they were most excited about all the fun things to do. Sarah the home owner was very accommodating and very prompt on messaging if we had a quick question. Thanks again for a great stay !

We visited this house with friends and were happy with our stay! The home is thoughtfully and creatively decorated. There were many small details that personalized our visit. Our favorites were the coffeemaker and the toys and books. The house is wonderful for visitors with kids. We found the drive easy to several Lake Michigan beaches (the welcome book has many great suggestions). The only minor thing was the noise from the highway but it wasn’t a bother to us. We’ve stayed in the Benton Harbor/Coloma/South Haven area several times and this place was one of our favorites!

This property was great for my family, including my 2 year old. We were comfortable and had a lot of fun!

No issues with the rental, check-in or check-out process.

Sarah was such an excellent host. She was so accommodating… allowed us to check in early and stay a little later since that helped us with our travel. The house is so nice and has everything needed. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others. So much to do within a close driving distance. She even personalized our stay with a birthday banner and gift for our teenage daughter.

This home was so cozy and cute. We enjoyed our weekend relaxing and it felt like home. So many little details were thought out and it really made our stay a great one!

This adorable house was great for our girls weekend! Plenty of room, games to play, a fully stocked coffee station and a fire pit with wood ~ the lovely owner Sarah even left us goodies to make s’mores! We appreciate the hospitality!!

Loved how bright and colorful this home is. Our weekend had chillier weather than I had hoped, so it was extra nice to have such a great home to stay in, with big windows, and things like the board games and dvd player, and the games in the basement. My son was so excited to sleep in a bunk bed and play ping pong. The host was generous with both early check in and late check out since there was time between other reservations.

My friend and I had a great stay at Willowbee Pines for our girls’ weekend getaway. It was the perfect location - close to Benton Harbor/St. Joseph and South Haven. Comfortable beds, great kitchen, fun outdoor space for relaxing by the fire, and fun decor. Kids will enjoy the bunkbeds, books, and game room/craft space in the basement. The owner was easy to communicate with and even left fixins for s’mores.

Our 3 year old grandson smiled the whole time

Planned a 4 day getaway with friends and stayed in this adorable house! Brightly decorated and 4 comfy beds. The location is perfect for anything you want to do! Within less than 4 miles to 2 different beaches and lots of Wineries, Breweries and Shopping! The home was spotless and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend and would definitely return!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Very close to two beaches and many others not far away. Has a great outdoor area that we also enjoyed. My son loves the game room area as well!!

The house had everything for everyone. Kitchen was well equipped. For kids there were toys, games and craft material. House was very clean and host had thought and inquired all our needs based on our profile. Host is perfect with her recommendations. House is perfectly located as its near an interstate exit with abundant greenery around and not so far from both Benton Harbor and South Haven. Best part was there is a fire pit and we had fun. Hope to visit again soon . Thank you so much Sarah!!!
