The Perfect Jumping Off Point In Southwest Michigan

I've been lucky enough to stay here a couple times. It's always lovely - We like to visit the nearby towns and head to River St Joe for good food and beer. This time we stayed on property for a guys trip and cooked and ate like kings and made a little noise in the music room. Looking forward to coming back in summer to use the pool!

Fantastic fall stay!!

Everyone absolutely fell in love with Kurt’s beautiful farmhouse. It was the absolute perfect home and property for our wedding weekend. They provide everything you could need! Everyone had a very comfortable place to sleep - It is RARE to find such a beautiful, large and well-stocked/-kept home with so many private rooms! The patio and yard are gorgeous. We had our rehearsal dinner in the yard and everyone had the best time! We are so thankful we found this gem in the amazing southwest Michigan area that is so dear to our hearts. It is a short drive to wineries and the rolling countryside is serene and so pretty. 10/10 would stay here again and again!!

Fun on farm

Had a wonderful stay at Macy Hill. Owners were friendly and communicative. House was great - large old farmhouse with lots of space. Pool got tons of use. Pet friendly (barn cat was also very popular). Great fire pit and lots of open space to explore. Lovely front porch for morning coffee (though busier road could be a bit noisy). Overall great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Kurt

We, Cindi and Kurt Gerber (co-hosts), are originally from Chicago and purchased this property in Michigan a year ago. Cindi has been a teacher in Chicago Public Schools for over twenty years (and still going strong), and Kurt is a professional photographer specializing in weddings, corporate work and has made two films. He owns his photography company with his long-term business partner and is based in Chicago.

Our goals for this property are to continue to make improvements on the house every year, build an organic vegetable and fruit garden for guests to enjoy, and eventually house chickens, goats and other farm animals for guests to interact with, if desired. We are very interested in creating a sustainable living environment for ourselves and our guests.

Why they chose this property

Macy Hill Farm is located in Berrien Springs, Michigan. It is located along the SW Michigan wine trail, so it is close to several local wineries and distilleries. The farm is also near several other SW Michigan towns such as New Buffalo, Three Oaks, Lakeside and St. Josephs. It is about a 20-30 minute drive to Lake Michigan but also near other local beaches.

The full-sized pool is a great amenity at the house. We have pool toys and games available for guests, as well as chaise lounges, a comfortable outdoor conversation seating area and a dining area large enough to seat up 12 people. The pool deck also has a gas grill available for guest use.

We have also built a fire pit for guests to enjoy while watching evening sunsets.

What makes this property unique

Macy Hill Farm is a large home that can sleep up 15 guests. It has six bedrooms and an attic with more sleeping areas and a pool table. The pool is kept up nicely by the hosts and offers a very relaxing area to unwind from a busy day antiquing or visiting nearby towns.

The house is near several charming towns, beaches, Lake Michigan and great restaurants, wineries, distilleries and breweries.

This is a great location to enjoy all of what SW Michigan has to offer, and only a two-hour drive from Chicago.
