Overall was a good stay. The proximity to the local wineries and attractions was very convenient. The kitchen was lightly furnished compared to all the other rentals we’ve stayed at over the years.

Basecamp for St. Joseph/Lake Michigan fishing trip
Perfect spot for my Dad and Brothers to bunk for a trip of a lifetime out on Lake Michigan. 23 minutes to the Marina and the little college town had everything we needed. We put the bbq grill and fire pit to good use. Well stocked with clean linens and everything worked without issue.

Hello James, Thank you for your kind words! We hope to host you again soon!
We enjoyed the stay. It was quiet, clean, and nicely decorated. We needed to make sure we didn't make too much noise as to affect the people downstairs. I wish we had seen a sign or label saying that there was a laundry available to us downstairs.

Hello Karl, thank you for your thoughtful review! We hope to have the pleasure of hosting again.
We were just looking for a quiet getaway for the weekend and we were not disappointed.
Quiet location. Loved the view out of the back slider. We got to see deer multiple times. The kitchen had everything that we needed to make a wonderful meal. The beds were very comfortable. Overall, a great experience.
This worked out perfectly for our family. As an added bonus the house is located close to Andrews University, which allowed us to take advantage of all the walking areas and trails around campus. Apple Valley store had everything we needed if we had to grab anything for a meal.
Our location was quiet and tranquil. We really enjoyed our stay.
The only thing I might suggest is new dining room table chairs and a can opener for the kitchen.

I would most definitely stay again it was very clean and beautiful. But the ppl in the lower level were very loud and slamed there door when leaving which i didn't care for. But over all i loved this home and my stay.

Hello Wanishea , Thank you for your feedback! We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found our home clean and beautiful. We apologize for the noise from the lower level and will take measures to address this. We appreciate your review and hope to host you again soon!
Very beautiful house in a quiet neighborhood. In good condition. Easy communication with management.
I didn't realize there was a second unit downstairs and there would be people there. They were quiet and respectful, but it was still a surprise.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, Cristine. We apologize if there was any misunderstanding regarding the presence of a second unit downstairs. We want to clarify that our listing clearly states that this particular listing is for the upstairs unit only. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future.
We were looking for St. Joe homes, but with our last minute planning, we were coming up short. This little cutie kept coming up in my search, so we make went for it, and we were PLEASED!! The house is on a small university campus, the area was clean, and felt safe. The home itself was just the cutest place, and we were just ready to move in for life!! It was close enough to St. Joe, and it was a nice place to retire to at the end of each day at the beach. The beds were so very cozy, and Sage was so responsive and wanted to ensure our stay was perfect, and did not disappoint…I will say, the listing is not kidding about the bugs in the woods, but don’t let it be a reason you skip booking this place…I would definitely stay here again…I recommend :)

Hello Ansley, Thank you for the recommendation, and we’d be thrilled to have you stay with us again!
DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOME UNLESS YOU WANT TO SHARE STRANGERS.
When we rented this home, the listing states you have
the option to rent the lower level as well, which consists of another bedroom and kitchen. HOWEVER, IT DIDN'T STATE that if you only rent the upstairs they will rent the other space to additional guests. I went thru VRBO because they advertise that no sharing is allowed. We were quite surprised when we heard other voices and slamming of doors. We thought someone was breaking in. We immediately contacted the property manager and she said, yes, in fact, that other people were staying on the same property. They advertise a fire pit, but seem to forget to tell you that you need to share it with strangers. Once we looked at additional reviews, this is an ONGOING Problem. The next day, more people showed up and thought they had rented the house we were in but were then told they only rented the lower level. They
partied until 3 am and we didn't sleep the entire night. It was a disaster. Along with sharing, there are no curtains in the living area, living, dining and kitchen, so the people at the fire pit could see in. NO PRIVACY WHATSOEVER The property manager is beyond polite and is quite good at listening to your concerns BUT DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT. I'm sure she will make it look like it was our mistake and that we were hard to work with. She told us there is no way we would get all or part of our money back. I did complain to VRBO, they state they don't allow sharing. i have not heard heard back yet.

Thank you, Linda, for your review. We acknowledge that there might have been some confusion. However, in our listing description, we clearly stated that the unit you rented is located upstairs. We also mentioned that if guests wish to rent the entire home, including the downstairs area, they have the option to book both levels. Additionally, it's worth noting that the unit has separate entrances for each level. We ensure that this information is provided in our listing description to ensure guests are well-informed prior to making a reservation. Take care!
