Awesome getaway for our two families!

"I am very picky about where my family stays and poured over SO MANY property listings. We were going to be vacationing with our friends and their kids so it had to be just right-- and it was!  It's rare, but the photos don't do the property its justice. It was FAR better than what we were expecting. The "2nd house" was HUGE and the perfect place for our teenagers to stay. The main house was upscale and perfectly appointed. You can tell the hosts put a lot of thought into the amenities-- they had everything! Fans, stuff for kids/babies, games, music, fully stocked kitchen-- the works. The view off the backyard is breathtaking. You literally look DOWN to watch the birds. Its like being in a dream. We took chairs to the edge and just sat there, watching and taking in the peace. Sunsets were another favorite activity for our group. The drive into St. Joe is quick and convenient. This was probably our 10th time visiting the area, and we got spoiled with this property. It's a great location and everything is just a short drive away. We would recommend this property to anyone. You will love it!"

Wonderful!

"This property was as described. We had a wonderful time. The large screened in porch had lots of seating and a dining table - we spent a lot of time in there. The guest house was perfect for our brother and his wife. The yard space was great for our grand-daughters. Sweeping views of the lake from both in the house and the back yard. We made s’mores at the fire pit with wood provided. Location was within 10 minutes of both St. Joseph and Benton Harbor for many good restaurants and shops. Multiple beautiful beaches all within 10 minutes."

Relaxing Family Vacation!

The pictures of the property do not do it justice. Beautiful view of the lake. Watched the sunset on the lake each night from the backyard. My husband and I along with our four adult children stayed in the main house while my parents slept in the guest house across the driveway. House had so many extras--cleaning products, shampoo, paper towels, etc. Everything we needed to cook meals. Beach chairs & towels. Less than 5 minutes to Rocky Gap for beach access. About 10 minutes south to St. Joseph/Silver Beach--lots of restaurants. 20 minutes north to South Haven for more shopping/restaurants. Overall, a wonderful vacation and a wonderful place to stay!

Perfect Vacation Spot

"Great house with amazing views. Thoughtful provisions made our stay very cozy. Property was peaceful yet close to several beaches and shopping & restaurants. The house/guest house setup worked well for our group. Would highly recommend!"

Perfect Lake House

"We truly enjoyed our weekend getaway. Vista Michigana was perfect for 2 families with grown children. From the well stocked kitchen to the beach items, we had everything we needed. The views of Lake Michigan was absolutely beautiful- especially during sunset. The hosts were very responsive and so welcoming. Thank you for our welcoming gift bag! We will definitely be back!"

Wonderful

"We were so lucky this property became available. It was everything we were hoping for the family. There was a fully stocked kitchen, tons of games, beautiful views, and close to many activities including great beaches. Everybody had a great time, we are hoping to be able to return."

Perfect weekend on the lake

My husband, 2 kids and I spent an extended post Labor Day weekend at this property with my parents and my brother’s family. The weather definitely cooperated, but I think we would have loved the house and the views regardless! We enjoyed being close to St Joe and South Haven and being able to retreat to a more private residence to relax. The house was very comfortable with lots of little amenities like yard games and kids toys. My favorite moments involved sitting in the screened in porch looking out at the lake. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful, As Usual!

The main house and guest house are both comfortable and well equipped. The screened in porch in the main house is great and we used it a lot. The yard is large and allowed our group to play two different games at one time. The view is perfect!
