It was a great place to stay
The property was better than advertised. It was bigger than I thought it would be. Outside of the home is a great place to spend time with the family. The home had everything that you could possibly need it’s like they have thought of everything. I highly recommend and would definitely stay there again.

Wedding weekend
Stayed here for our son’s wedding weekend. Perfect for what we needed. Pool and pickleball were very fun during our down time. Need to add a leaf blower so guests can clean off the outside areas from tree debris but otherwise fantastic!

Family getaway
Our experience at St. Joe was nothing short of amazing. The communication was spot on. Once we arrived we instantly felt at home. It was a great experience and I would definitely recommend them to anyone that’s looking for a nice size, clean home for family staycations.

Celebration
We stayed here for our daughter's graduation from Notre Dame. This home was perfect for our family. It is close enough to Notre Dame and was able to accommodate everyone. Claire and Evan were so gracious and easy to communicate with. They even opened the pool a week early for our stay. I would highly recommend this property for any occassion.

Riverside Estate
Very nice but unpretentious home on the river. We were a group of 8 college friends and had lots of room to spread out. Some of us might bring our families on a future trip here b/c the house has an excellent layout for kids.

Dream Vacation
The swimming pool was a big hit for all! Playing tennis was fun for the younger adults and the 16-year-old loved the basement pool table, darts and her own space! The soda pop provided was wonderful and an added bonus for her. Seeing wildlife was a plus for the seniors. The bedrooms in the house are set up so the younger children and seniors can still stay on schedule with bedtimes and not be bothered with the noises of others in the house. This house was the ultimate for our 3 families. Plenty of space for all. Truly a DREAM VACATION!

Family Vacation
This was our first experience renting a house for a family vacation and it could not have gone better. Claire & Evan (our hosts) are great. They were communicating with us before the trip with any of our questions quickly and with great detail. They were concerned with a small issue before our arrival and they let us know before we even arrived. The home for our family was more than spacious and they provided us with all the necessities any home would need. They even provided a wonderful welcome basket along with some fresh locally grown peaches - Which were delicious. We are already discussing when we are going to go back. 5 Stars all around.

A perfect weekend away
Sixteen of us stayed at the property over the weekend and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The beds were divine, the kitchen was stocked, the pool area was perfection. Thank you for everything Claire & Evan!

River Retreat
The property was beautiful, plenty of room for all the guys on the weekend trip. The house was well stocked and clean. The view of the river was amazing, use of the kayaks was such a huge bonus. The proximity to the lake and dunes was such a nice option for a day trip, and being close to Niles for supplies made it very easy to stock up for the weekend, instead of travelling with supplies. I would absolutely recommend this location. The hosts were incredible with communication when we had questions.

Tons of fun on the river
My family and friends had a wonderful time at this lovely home. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, tennis court, pool table, video game machine, and access to the river. The house was well stocked with cooking/ kitchen items, towels, and games. The host was responsive and helpful. Loved it!

The house was sized right for a family group of 12. Comfortably appointed and furnished and the beds were comfortable. The pool, hot tub, river kayaks, back patio, tennis court and large lawn area were great for kids and adults. Very private and down a long, tree lined lane.
