A lovely decorated apartment along the river. Perfect for our goals of rest and reflection. Pans were a bit sparse for cooking but we made due. I learned some interesting issues booking through a management company rather than through a private owner: 1. There are added fees that you otherwise would not incur (“Booking fee” and “processing fee”). 2. They also required a deposit for potential damages which is their right I suppose. But I know as a host on another platform that if I have problems with damages from a guest that I will be helped to recoup the expenses for those damages. I assume Vrbo has the same help for them. So it caused me some stress wondering if they would blame us and charge us for some imperfection that was already there before we arrived. It all worked out and we got the deposit back but I dont think it’s necessary to charge this when the place is not absolutely perfect to start with and there’s no checkin system to record the imperfections as a record upon arrival. I actually loved the place but dont know if I would stay there again because of these money thgs.

Nice place!

Incredible lofts with all the comforts one could possibly need! We stayed in Loft #6 and loved the style, space, and all the extra comforts that were provided. We were amazed with how well the kitchen was stocked and enjoyed the 2 Keurig coffee stations located in the commons. Conveniently located close to St. Joseph, New Buffalo, and South Haven, it was perfect for our busy weekend getaway. Would love to get back soon!

Five stars!!!! Communication with the host was great, check-in was smooth, and the place was in a convenient location and extremely clean. We would definitely stay here again!

The property is very secluded, next to the St. Joseph river, with nice walking trails. The entire estate is 800 acres, mostly forest with some farm land. The family that owns it is in the process of expanding the amenities, but it looks like the main, huge house will not be affected. My wife and I had the entire main floor all to ourselves for a day and a half. The renovations to this house is the best I have ever seen and I have done a lot of renovations, but not to this level. If you are looking for a quiet, calm get away next to a large slow moving river, this is the place.

We loved staying at this property. It was clean, cool, and very comfortable. Although maybe the mattress on bed was not ideal. But the positives far out-weighed that! The kitchen was well-equipped with anything you could want. There was plenty of space and BIG closets! What made it even more special was being able to have our dogs with us. And we think they loved it too!

Nice scenic location! Lake view is gorgeous. Area is so quiet and peaceful. House has everything you would ever need and then some. All around pleasant experience! Only small issue was that town has suffered greatly due to COVID and lots of the businesses have closed, so we had to drive a little bit to get food, etc, but not a big issue for us. Highly recommend this property.

Beautiful place and well maintained. So spacious and couldn’t be happier with experience!

I stayed here with my 2 children and some extended family. We loved the space of the house, the views, and the lake access. My 3 year old had a blast on the roll out mat on the lake, and many of us enjoyed the kayaks and fishing on the lake. The house being up high on the hill made all the views wonderful even when we couldn’t get down to the lake. Our host was very responsive and helpful.

Very pleased with our stay overall only had a few very minor issues. Very comfortable and loved the space!! Convenient location would definitely stay here again!!!
