This was Florencia's first time hosting through Airbnb, so there were a few kinks to work out, but Florencia is very friendly and accommodating. Florencia prepared soup which was awaiting us on arrival. There is a bar, refrigerator and freezer, microwave, and dishes available in the living space and the bed is very comfortable. There is also a full bath with ample towels adjoining the living space on the lower level. The neighborhood is very quiet but close to both downtown St. Joseph and Benton Harbor.

Great , comfortable place to stay . Close to town . Has everything you need . Florencia is a great host , good communication. Will stay again.

Great location, great host, great small town among many other things. Florencia has not been hosting for long but she does an excellent job! The room is downstairs in the basement (so expect basement things) and the bathroom is across the hall. First, the room is very large and has a bar area, treadmill and a desk. There's an old television but I'm not much of a television watcher. The chairs are super comfortable, the bed is fantastic (I slept very well) and it was well heated in the winter. She does an excellent job of keeping the place clean. As for the bathroom, you really couldn't ask for anything more. The shower is large and has many different settings. The laundry is nearby with a utility sink. The sink and toilet are also very nice with a large mirror. There is plenty of space in the bathroom. Fantastic place to stay with an excellent host. The location is in a very quiet, yet convenient neighborhood. About 10 min from downtown by automobile and maybe 15 min to the beach.

The host is very enthusiastic. She knows that we do not have cars so she proposes shuttle service for us from and to the train/bus station. She even proposes tours in downtown and along the lake. The description is very accurate. It is a room downstairs, which means has no window. So it is a little bit depressed when living in. It might also be the reason that we feel the room might not be very clean although the host may have tried to keep it clean.

I found Florencia's place value for money and very comfortable and clean. She was very welcoming and flexible to accommodate my requests during my stay. The place is very close to Whirlpool Riverview campus and located in safe and quiet residential neighborhood. Definitely recommenced for budget business traveler. I would definitely stay again.

We love staying here!!! It was a beautiful house with lots of space. The loft upstairs was so cozy. The beds were super comfortable. The kitchen was set up with everything we needed to stay in and cook meals. The neighborhood is super quiet and a little secluded but not far away from the city of St Joseph. There was a nice park close by and a trail for running. We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area.

First off, do yourself a favor and book this property today!!! We had the most amazing time staying at Greg & Family's cottage. Greg was an incredible host and an all-around great guy. We really appreciated the amount of communication and time he put into making sure we had everything we needed. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect way to spend our New Year's holiday away from the city. In short, the cottage was very quaint and held the 6 of my family members comfortably. It was very well decorated and extremely welcoming. While we planned on heading out and exploring the area (more than we did), we often found ourselves staying in, cooking together, playing board games and enjoying the warmth of the fireplace. The beds throughout the cottage were extremely comfortable and overall I don't think I heard a single complaint about the entire property or experience. The property is located close to the beach and just a stone's throw away from the best that Benton Harbor & St. Joseph have to offer. The cottage was extremely clean and well taken care of. There's a feeling of character that only a home that's loved can have and this cottage definitely has that. It truly is charming! All in all, my family agrees that Greg is awesome! Upon our arrival, we were greeted with muffins, a basket of fruit, orange juice and milk. Not to mention a good conversation with Greg himself! (he goes well above and beyond to make sure you have an amazing stay and that everything you need is taken care of) Our stay at the cottage was everything that we were hoping for, the location was perfect with all the bells and whistles! We are definitely planning on coming back (when it's not the dead of winter) so we can enjoy this beautiful property and all it has to offer throughout the seasons!

Had a great time at Greg's place! The house was beautiful and cozy. We walked in and the Christmas tree and Christmas music was playing. We really enjoyed playing board games by the fireplace and exploring new breweries and restaurants. Benton Harbor is very close to wineries and not too far from destinations like Saugatauk. Thanks again!

Host was welcoming, neighborhood was nice. Room was filthy with old shag carpet and dirt on the floor everywhere. Smelled like mold and urine. When I informed her I was leaving after an hour because of dirt and odors she gave me the room key deposit back but said I would probably have to pay for the night which we argued about.

This is a lovely home away from home. Everything we could need was provided. The neighborhood is peaceful and great for a relaxing week or weekend.

This cabin was the perfect place for us to relax and unwind over Spring Break. The secluded neighborhood and private beach were perfect for our needs and the cabin is comfortable and fun and was a great place to rest and enjoy time together as a family. We would recommend Kristi's cabin for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle and take time to unwind.

We rented the Charming Cabin largely because it was half way meeting point between ourselves and our friends in Canada. We were not disappointed and plan to return to the cabin again. Kristi was such a gracious host. She was very responsive to all my questions prior to and after booking our reservation. Kristi provided a welcome guide chalk full of background on the cabin, directions, local supermarkets, and all of Kristi's contact information. Additionally, she let me know where I could take my 13 year-old to fish in addition to the private beach near the cabin. The cabin itself was very quaint and cozy, and was well stocked with linens, kitchen utensils, and a wonderful gas fireplace to take the chill of a cool Spring evening. The neighborhood is very quite, and I never tired of the view from the kitchen window out into Lake Michigan. The location is great, with plenty of entertainment options. We went to some craft breweries and hit a few of the many local wineries. The first Sunday of the month there is a antique flea market at nearby St Joseph, which is worth a look around. We even fired up the charcoal grill and enjoyed a home-cooked steak. As much as I would love to keep this little gem to myself, I have to say, you owe it to yourself to spend some time at the "Charming Cabin". This was our first AirBnB experience, and it far exceeded our expectations, along with our wonderful host - thanks again Kristi - you were amazing!

Kristi was easy to communicate with and was personally interested in our satisfaction. She answered any question we had and provided more than we could ask for. Anything we could think of was available at the cabin (which means we packed way too much!) The cabin looks rustic on the outside but is very modern on the inside. Comfortable furniture, plenty of technology and the kitchen has more than I could ever need. The grounds are beautifully kept. One word of caution: if you use the clothes drying rack, take your stuff off before the automatic sprinklers turn on! The beach is a 5 minute walk away through a friendly neighborhood and down 58 stairs (I counted.) The sand, waves and sunset were beautiful!

Great cabin, location and host.

Our family felt right at home the moment we walked in the door. The cabin was charming, very clean and had every possible amenity you could imagine. Kristi did a fantastic job at communicating with us before and after we had arrived. We definitely will be back again!

Kristi was more than accommodating to our last minute booking! We were so ecstatic to see that her beautiful home was open for a booking as we were coming into town for a wedding at Sundance Studios. We loved having a home away from home and being a part of the beautiful neighborhood for our stay. We went for a run, and the neighborhood beach is quaint and would've been perfect on a summer day. The local grocery store was wonderful and we enjoyed shopping there and making breakfast and lunch. We felt like we had known Kristi forever, and really hope to bring our family back to her wonderful cabin in the future.

Love this cozy cabin and Kristi is a great host. Very helpful and easy to communicate with

We had an excellent stay in Benton Harbor at Purdys home. This is truly unique, beautiful, and spacious rental. It's a short drive from the hubbub of the cities but well worth it for privacy and a romantic retreat. Highly recommend it if you want to unplug! A clean home well appointed with linens and beautifully decorated with antiques. We were lucky enough to enjoy the front room while snow was falling, truly beautiful! I highly recommend a visit if you're in the area needing accommodations!

We stayed at the Darn Barn in the winter with a large group of friends, including kids. It was large and spacious with many bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate us all. The house would benefit from a thorough cleaning as well as fixing some broken items and adding some more kitchen supplies. If some updates were made, we would definitely stay at the Darn Barn again given the great price and location.

Enjoyed the spacious house and the beach access which was a little challenging with 100 or steps. Had a comfortable with good amenities except for the septic tank.

Great location; love the old character of the barn but could use some updates here and there. Place needs some serious cleaning. Bugs crawling everywhere; dead bugs also lying everywhere. Carpet smells. Some bed covers & blankets had stains on them - had to wash everything ourselves before using them. This place can accommodate a large group. We made the best of our stay.

We had a lovely stay at Bianca's house, the place is very unique and the hosts were very welcoming and hospitable. Very child friendly which is nice, especially since you are staying in a room at their house. Lots of space both inside and outside to feel like you had enough private space, but was still able to socialize with the hosts- a lovely, very interesting and fun couple!

Wonderful place. Great location very easy to get too. Beautiful and very clean. Tammy is great to work with.

This place was a wonderful place to stay. Our hosts were incredibly welcoming and also gave us some perfect dinner suggestions. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Ann was super responsive from the very first contact. She and her husband, Tim, were friendly hosts without being intrusive. The vintage barn was an amazing and unique setting. The vineyard in the back was lovely. And there were plenty of comfortable seating areas outside to enjoy the outdoors. The location was ideal, an easy drive to Grand Mere State Park, downtown St. Joseph, and lots of local wineries. Best of all, the hosts and Barn were dog friendly. Altogether, a lovely weekend stay in beautiful southwestern Michigan!

We had a great time at the Red Barn Lodge. Our host, Ann, was very hospitable and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. There were numerous thoughtful touches - from fresh tomatoes picked from the garden to suggestions for local restaurants and attractions. The barn itself had great charm, and comfortably fit our group of 4 adults. The location was nicely centrally located to many of southwest Michigan's attractions, and served as a great home base as we explored the area. We certainly plan to be back and would recommend to anyone looking to visit the area.

Ann was warm and wonderful. She was easy to communicate with via our arrival and anything we needed during our stay. Ann goes above and beyond as a host--she had pumpkin bread and other treats waiting for us when we arrived and helped us find an iron that we needed for a wedding that day. The barn was both cozy and spacious and well equipped, with lots of interesting knick knacks to give it character. Highly recommend!

The barn was amazing, beat all of our expectations by a lot! Wonderful setting backing up to vineyards, very cute and nicely decorated inside. Ann and her husband Tim were perfect hosts, even provided delicious freshly baked breads upon arrival. We'd certainly stay again and would highly recommend anyone else who might be considering it as well.

Red Barn Lodge was above and beyond what we expected, not a single detail was missed. House was immaculate and cozy, our beds were neat, clean and ready for us, very comfortable. The vintage furniture and "touches" around the house were all one-of-a-kind, incredibily unique and creative. No clutter. Our host, Ann, left the four of us several baked goods (four muffins, four brownies, four scones and a lemon poundcake), a full fridge of fresh milk, eggs, juice, bagels, etc and ground starbucks coffee. The front and back yard were peaceful, quiet, had beautiful vintage furniture, a beautiful garden and potted plants, garden statues and well-kept trees, both the front and the back yard were full of nature and wonderful colors. Ann and her husband Tim were very welcoming; when we got there they showed us around, etc, they made themselves available by giving us their mobile numbers and showing us to their house which is also on the property, but we did not see the all weekend until we left when they stopped to say goodbye while we loaded our car. Myself, My husband, My sister and My brother-in-law all felt we were able to enjoy a relaxing, private weekend without having to pay for an over-crowded, over-priced hotel.

Great place with lots of character. Comfortable beds in sleeping areas upstairs and downstairs, kitchen with everything you'll need and more, and a nice area to walk around or have an evening fire pit.

Fun, eclectic, sweet little place perfect for a Saint Joe area getaway. It's close to several beaches, breweries, etc. Great hosts that made me smile each time we talked and kept us supplied with fresh baked goodies! My family will return!

Everything was exactly how Kerry had described it in the listing. The house was welcoming and the perfect weekend getaway from Chicago! We took several walks around the neighborhood and it neighbors were just as welcoming. 10-15 min drive to St. Joe's and several wineries. Perfect location and value. We will definitely be back!

Exactly as described. The place was clean and fully equipped. I was working in the area and brought my 2 year old and baby with me. We did a lot of cooking and the home has everything you would need to make healthy meals. The house is very family friendly with enough space. Hagar park is nearby. Unfortunately we didn't have great weather when we visited but this place must be awesome in summer. My toddler enjoyed the great big yard despite the weather. Kerry and Mary were very responsive to questions and queries. Though the furnishings aren't modern, the whole place has the feel of "home". Great value for money too.

Great place, this was our 2nd stay there. Would stay again!!

Private location, easy access to major highway, easy to find. A little bumpy at the start as we had to scoop snow to get in and had to immediately wash sheets as there were mouse droppings under bed pillow, mattress and definitely in the pullout couch, which we couldn't use. Pretty smelly also. Cabin is definitely run-down and rustic, but it was supplied with everything we needed including dishes, towels, bed sheets, Keurig (a nice surprise), pots/pans, washer/dryer, and dishwasher. If it hadn't been for the mouse droppings and smell, it would have been just right.

The house was nice and exactly as described. The area was perfect for our stay.

The place was clean, cozy, and an excellent value for the price. Three minute drive to the beach and South Haven and St Joe's are close as well. Highly recommended! Thank you Kerry

My husband and two other guys needed to stay in Michigan a month for work at the Palisades nuclear plant. I drove out to stay with them the last week and a half. When I pick a place I always read the reviews and look at the price, the guys work long hours and aren't at the place much anyway. This place was so reasonably priced and was exactly what it said "rustic and cozy!" We travel a lot and try to bring everything we need with. This place had everything you could possibly need! If we ran out of anything it was there. The refrigerator and cabinets were stacked full of condiments, spices, coffee, laundry soap, toiletries, a Weber grill with charcoal and lighter fluid, and anything else you could possibly need. I did try to replace garbage bags, toilet paper and things we used of theirs because I felt guilty and wasn't going to leave anything empty. I was in contact numerous times with Kerry's mom Mary. She was very prompt and helpful with any questions we had! I love the area right across the road from Lake Michigan, I was by myself most the time while my husband worked and there was a little park down the road that I could walk to the beach and go for long beach walks! It was close to St. Joseph and Southhaven which I enjoyed! We already have another stay planned at this place, it fit our needs perfectly!!!

This was easily one of the best air bnb experience I've had. Perfect cabin, gorgeous neighborhood, great price, gracious hosts and super simple check in process (which is so appreciated). Highly recommended!!

We had a wonderful stay at this home. I would recommend it to anyone. Thanks again!
