Centrally located in St. Joseph area it is the perfect location to see the area sites. The property inside and out is well manicured and clean.The neighborhood is quiet and friendly as well.The hosts provide everything needed for a comfortable stay and so helpful if you have an inquiry.Highly recommend this place for your visit
We were visiting family in the area and the teens and adults both enjoyed the game room area and numerous things to do. We found the home to be very comfortable, decorated tastefully and all amenities were provided. The yard and outside area is beautiful. There is plenty of privacy. The home is close to shopping, restaurants and recreation. Property access was easy and the owners were very communication and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our five days at this property.
While staying here, we found everything we would need/want. Our family had fun playing provided outdoor games, and using the grill and fire pit. It was very clean, and such a cute place. We would definitely stay again!
Very welcoming, clean and cozy place. Shelly was quick to respond and available for any questions we had. Easy check in and was comfortable for all 5 of us. Will definitely stay again and highly recommend!!
The owners really did a great job make the house feel very comfortable and cozy. There was great communication when we had questions. Overall it was a great experience!
The house was in a nice neighborhood and close to so many things including Lake Michigan. Property was very well kept and VERY clean. Game Basement was nice since it was a little snowy. Loved the character of the house. Owners responded quickly. We had a very comfortable stay.
It’s a great location to spend time with the family. Close to all the St Joseph area attractions and very relaxed place to spend your down time. We had s’mores by the fire after a long day of beaches. Everything was carefully curated by the excellent hosts. Definitely would recommend.
Hosts were wonderful, and house was great. Very clean, nice neighborhood, large backyard, and easy check in. We only went for one night, but the hosts were awesome with a late arrival and late checkout. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a place in the area.
5 of us ladies spent the night in possibly one of the cutest homes with the sweetest backstory. Very clean and comfortable! Felt like home! Hoping to make another visit next year!
We loved the place. We were very comfortable there. They supplied just about everything. It's as advertised, if not better. The owners were great at communicating also.
My family and I stayed at the Dorothy for a Sunday through Tuesday night. The place had everything we needed and ask the extra amenities that made the stay awesome! We had a fire in the backyard every night and the kids played games in the basement every chance they got. It was only a 15 minute drive to a perfect day at Silver Beach. The Dorothy even got rave reviews from teenagers!! We cannot wait to return.
The Dorothy is the perfect place to stay on a beach family vacation. Games in the basement and an outdoor fire pit are perfect entertainment for time spent at the house. You can get to many popular beaches in 10-15 minutes. The house was exactly as pictured and described online. Rich & Shelly responded super quick to any questions we had. The surrounding area was all very nice as well.
Very clean and great attention to details, some examlpes: Beds very comfy, lots of blankets and linens, multiple coffees and flavorings. The basement had lots of fun games such as pool , ping pong ect and outside had fire pit stacked with wood and lots of seating.
We were impressed with the perfect landscaping and cleanliness of the house. The outdoor living space was very nice. We wish we would have had time to use the firepit. The wood logs and starters were all nicely available. We appreciated the host's responsiveness and clear communication.
This was an adorably renovated home to stay in for our quick and impromptu visit to Michigan, with some of the nostalgic touches of the home left intact, which I loved because it brought me back to the days growing up visiting at my Memaws! I only wish that I could have stayed longer and hopefully next time when the weather is better...that being said, this is the perfect vacay home full of entertainment for bad weather days- the basement game room was great, a favorite by the whole family! This house had everything stocked that we could have needed, nice coffee/tea station provided, and quick response time from the owner. It is in a cute little quiet neighborhood, and close to several sites and cute beaches. Five stars in my opinion, and we will be back to stay for longer! Thanks guys!
We enjoyed our stay even though the weather didn’t cooperate. It was close to the town of St Joseph with nice stores and restaurants. The home was clean and had everything you may need. We plan to go again next year and hope to use the fire pit to roast hot dogs and marshmallows. Be sure to know your passwords etc for the TV to work. Thank you Rich and Shelly!
We had a great stay! The house and property were clean and had everything we needed and beyond. We loved being able to eat outside on the patio that was well lit, and make a fire after. There’s plenty of space with the two bedrooms, but other options with the futons. The location was very beautiful with a nice countryside feel neighborhood. We had hoped to be a little closer to town, but it was a manageable distance and worth having a place to cook, lounge and let my toddler run around:) the host for amazing and available by text if we had any questions. Thank you! ❤️
