It offers a slightly secluded feel, which is nice if you already made a big grocery trip and want to relax around the house. The couches and beds are presentable, but not the most comfortable for longer stays. The couches might be more so for an out door patio rather than relaxing and watching TV/movie. When we first turned on the shower we noticed a very strong smell of sulfur/gas that was quite displeasing. We noticed the sinks had the same issue, but not nearly as bad as the shower. I contacted Rob, the property owner and he mentioned what he would do to address this issue - after we were gone… We elected to one quick shower for the weekend due to the smell. The lake in the back is calm and relaxing. We took out the row boat and made a lap around the lake with few boats to look out for. Meyers was the closest grocery store about 25mins away from the house. We also went down to both St. Joseph’s beach and South Haven which took about 30mins drive. Saturday night we got dinner at 221 Main which was absolutely amazing food and drinks. Overall - the house was nice for a short weekend stay. The AC worked just great which was a blessing because each day was about 90°. ##### Sean Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - [Lodging](?equalTargetTab=tab-0) - [Flights](?equalTargetTab=tab-1) - [Packages](?equalTargetTab=tab-2) - [Cars](?equalTargetTab=tab-3) - [Vacation Rentals](?equalTargetTab=tab-4) - [The Palace: Luxury Living the whole family will enjoy!
