The hosts were very responsive to all messages and checked in - and ploughed- during the snow storm! Also, the house was incredibly well stocked with kitchen appliances and utensils, and with baby gear should you need it. The house and furniture were in excellent condition and the fenced yard was great for dogs!

Met family for Christmas. House was everything we could ask for. Big fenced yard for the dogs. Very well stocked with everything you could need. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to book in this area. Will probably go back in the summer and check out the beaches and wineries.

Great place you're Benton harbor for families to stay

We stayed here with our four kids (12-2), and they all had a blast. The home was super clean and everyone fit comfortably into their bedrooms. The enclosed backyard and fire pit made for a fun play time and s'mores after dinner. Will definitely be staying here again when we come back!

This home is perfect! We love the spacious and clean rooms with everything you need. The TV and sound system is awesome! There is a firepit and two areas of seating on the deck. The fenced in yard is secure for our curious dogs. Corey is an absolutely wonderful host! This was our second stay and we'll be back next year!

Great Place to Stay!

The house was clean with a huge fenced backyard for our dog to run around. Short drive to beaches and restaurants/breweries. The host provides more than most rentals - firewood, s’mores for fire pit, plenty of toilet paper/paper towels, beach towels, beach chairs, etc. Would stay here again!

Long Weekend

Stayed here for a long weekend with my partner and our dogs. Really easy to get into town and close to Warren Dunes. The house itself was the perfect spot for just relaxing and hanging out, and the dogs loved the fenced in backyard.

Clean, Pet Friendly & Tons of Thoughtful Extras!

My family and I stayed for a few nights with our 2 small senior pups and would definitely stay here again! You can truly pack light and it’s close to St Joe’s / Silver Beach if you are traveling with dogs and need to swing back mid-day to give them a potty break. The s’mores bar, bonfire, fireflies and twinkle lights made for a magical night. Thank you so much for your hospitality, Corey & Diana!

The location was perfect for what we were looking for. Close to Benton Harbor and St Joseph, but in a quiet neighborhood just 5 minutes to the north. The house was clean and the amenities were wonderful.
