Stairway to Heaven
The house was fantastic. We appreciated the bathrooms with plenty of towels and provided shampoo, conditioner, and lotion and plenty of bath towels. Additionally, greatly appreciated the night lights throughout the space making moving around in the dark much safer. Each level was like its own unique space to be enjoyed. The coffee shop next door was great too, although the well stocked coffee and creamers in the kitchen were a sweet touch. A great overall stay!

Unique property
The property was definitely unique and something we have never stayed in before so that was cool. However, I would NOT recommend for seniors or small children. The stairs were a LOT and the deck by the water doesn’t haven’t a railing which is a hazard with small children. Owner was great at communication though. A+

Relaxing with a view!
Overall our stay was amazing. The tower house was actually better in person compared to the photos. Plenty of outdoor space for adults to relax and for kids to fish. The kids loved fishing off the deck and there is a great place to get bait close by. Both bedrooms offer privacy, they seemed to have fixed the issue on the doors in the 2nd bedroom, we felt it was private. Garage space is very spacious and can definitely fit three cars comfortably. There were two trundles on the third floor near the bedroom and the older boys liked that nook as their little hangout (sleeps two). The trundle on the main level sleeps two as well, very comfortable. Be prepared for a lot of stairs. We definitely got our steps in but it was worth it! Although there is no grass for kids, they still had plenty of room to hang out and run a little (ages 11-15). The restaurant next door quiets down at 1pm but was never an issue when it was open. We didn’t get a chance to check it out but it gets great reviews for breakfast, coffee and brunch. Great amount of space and many outdoor balconies/spaces. Great choice for couples and or families. Property manager was very responsive and helpful! Very happy with our experience.

Lovely house central to everything
We spent the Columbus Day weekend here with our friends. Just a quick trip over from Chicago. The house has a small footprint and it built up, so there are a ton of stairs, but they have used every square foot efficiently. It’s centrally located to both St. Joseph and everything in Benton Harbor. We walked in to downtown St. Joseph multiple times. Day with no issue. The house was clean and communication was easy. We would definitely stay again. Only thing I would change is the second bedroom has a door that is glass-paned which is a little awkward when you have two couples staying.

Great Overall / Very minor things to fix
Stay was great overall. Great location, adorable house. Thoughtful decor, comfy beds, great views of the river and surrounding area. Close to all restaurants, beaches, etc. Coffee Canal next door was wonderful. Large easy to use garage and house has good privacy set off the main road. Things to note that are easily fixable with management: I had to reach out day 1 as there was no iron/board as advertised (we were there for a wedding weekend and needed one). They brought one a few hours later. Appreciated the prompt service. GFI outlet didn’t work in main bathroom, one nearby in bedroom worked fine, but hard to do hair without mirror. No full length mirror on top floor with bedrooms. Popped breaker in upstairs bathroom just by blow drying hair, management gave us the code promptly to unlock and reset breaker. Upstairs guest bedroom has clear glass paned pocket doors, so no real privacy for sleeping or changing. This is not shown in listing pictures so was a surprise for our friends who stayed with us. The same pocket door was installed for master bath and panes were painted. I’d definitely do the same thing or let future tenants know so they can decide if that is acceptable for “bedroom”! Decks we’re covered in cobwebs and dusty. I know it’s summer but could have sprayed off with a hose. I attempted to but there wasn’t one outside. All in all, place was cozy and fine for what we needed but these simple things could improve for next time. Thanks.

Property was excellent, soft linens, comfortable beds, body soap, shampoo and tissues were available. The property was clean and the grill was very useful as we brought food to grill. The area was being built up and we would consider spending time again next year to see the area improvements. Close breakfast/ coffee shop next door. Area restaurants and golf courses we also enjoyed.

Amazing, unique, great location
We loved this very unique home. From the second you walk in, you just want to keep exploring and compliment the very talented individuals that created such a beautiful space. The pictures are great but it’s even more spacious and beautiful in person. Great location. We walked into town to shop, eat, and enjoyed the beautiful beach and breathtaking sunsets. Outdoor area is fantastic on all levels. Only thing I’d change next time is staying longer. Communication was great. Thank you so much.

We loved the location of the house. The house is beautiful but has many steps. We loved being able to sit on the back deck and make stores and just generally relaxing. Great stay!

Beautiful home on the canal
This home was amazing! Great location along the canal. A short drive or long walk into Saint Joseph from Benton Harbor . It has an awesome coffee shop next door, a great fire pit and several balconies. I will definitely stay here again when visiting.
