The Joyce House

You will fall in love with this sweet family-friendly cottage, close to all the action and a peaceful retreat. Five minutes from downtown Benton Harbor, the golf course at Harbor Shores, and the beach in St. Joe's, it is a great location for a get-away!

The Joyce House is on a quiet cul-de-sac set away from the main road. It sits on an acre with a large yard, great front porch, and a tree-lined creek on one side.

All the amenities a family needs are included: pack-and-play, toddler bed, infant bathtub, play table, high chair, pet bowls, and a dog chain in the backyard. Make memories with your stay here!

Great house, lots of room for 2 families! Very well organized, clean and comfortable. The living room could have used a more comfortable couch but we didn't spend much time indoors anyway.

Perfect Girls Getaway
We had an amazing long weekend with my sister in laws for a husband and kid free weekend. It’s a perfect location just minutes from st joe and minutes away from many wineries. Mollie is so easy to communicate with and kept us up to date on everything. Bathrooms and bedrooms are spacious and didn’t feel like we were cramped. Loved all the amenities for kiddos. We are keeping it in our list if we want to bring the family with us sometime!

A Joyful Stay at the Joyce House
Our weekend stay at the Joyce House was absolutely delightful! The house's location near-to-town offered my group plenty of fun activities to do during the day and welcomed privacy at night. The nearby beaches were beautiful and the activities the host recommended were all around hits. From the local farmers market, to an adorable breakfast spot, to a retro bowling alley that served the best ciders, we enjoyed ourselves on every outting. We also loved walking around downtown St. Jospeh's and stumbling upon unique stores and restaurants to try. Additionally, staying in at night watching movies and gathering around the outside fireplace made for some truly memorable moments. The house was clean, well-stocked, and perfectly decorated, with plenty of space for my group of six adults. I will certainly be returning to Benton Harbor and St. Joseph's in the future and look forward to another fantastic stay at the Joyce House.

Great place
House was great and worked well for us as we had a wedding at nearby Stonegate Manor. House was clean and well stocked with towels, toilet paper. Did have some issues with smoke alarms chirping and no one could come to the house until the following day so we had to disconnect them all. Other than that it was super!!

Perfect for what we needed!
The Joyce House was the perfect find for us! It was a 4 minute drive from Stonegate Manor which is where we had a wedding to attend. The beds were comfy, the kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed. The firepit was a wonderful surprise to hang out around on a beautiful fall night. Will definitely stay again when in the area!

Fantastic Summer Getaway
We had a wonderful time at the Joyce house! The location was minutes from beautiful lake michigan and lovely St. Joseph. It was wonderful to be so close to parks, shopping, beach and amenities yet in a quiet neighborhood, tucked away. The host was incredibly responsive and very attentive to any inquiry. She had great suggestions on beaches and restaurants. The home was extremely comfortable and had everything we would need from beach towels to boogie boards. Beds were comfortable, everyone slept well. Will definitely stay here again!
