About this cottage rental
This two bedroom home with central AC and clean, sanitized, comfortable accommodations is under 2 hours from Chicago. On the St Joe River, this wooded setting on 10+ acres is great for a relaxing retreat or fun with friends and family. The 1000 ft. of river front is easily accessed from a nature walking trail through the wooded property or enjoy the view from the screened porch. Bring your fishing poles, tubes or Kayaks. 15 minutes to downtown St. Joe, award-winning Silver Beach, and Harbor Shores Golf Club and many other fun distractions. The Cottage sleeps 4 with one queen and one full bed. Fresh linens and towels are provided.
This cottage is a real charmer. The setting feels remote, but you will have easy access to shopping, downtown St. Joe and the Arts District in Benton Harbor. Awesome beaches, antiquing, winery tours, breweries, restaurants, barn sales, ad golfing are all close by.
Some of the best activities are on the property: fishing is right at your doorstep, hiking through the forest, a ball game in the open field, building a cool fort, hanging out in the storybook playhouse (see photos) or simply wading in the plastic kiddie's pool. Great spot to enjoy a good book, play board games, cook a nice meal or just enjoy a campfire.

We had such a wonderful stay at this cottage for our anniversary! It’s tucked away in a quiet, wooded setting right on the St. Joe River, so it felt peaceful and relaxing but was still close to downtown St. Joe, so we could enjoy the restaurants and Silver Beach. The cottage was super clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We cooked a few meals and really enjoyed slowing down. Our two dogs had the best time splashing and swimming in the river. Such a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy time together—we can’t wait to come back!

We had a very nice stay. The house was very clean and well appointed. It had everything we needed. The hosts were very helpful and quick to respond to our questions. The location is great, close to everything and there are lots of activities in the area. Would definitely consider staying here again.

Although the website description of the cottage was very accurate, the description didn't adequately quantify or qualify the property surrounding the cottage. Nestled in nearly ten acres of fields, woods and gardens, the location was very peaceful, tranquil and relaxing.The cottage was extremely clean, and well-appointed, as advertised. The interactions with the hosts were friendly, helpful, and went way beyond our expectations. When we return to the area, we will try to get this gem of a home for our stay. (AI was NOT used for the making of this review!)
