A very nice & clean stay!

Mid winter is not the typical rental season for this property but there was plenty of heat to get the spaces warm and cozy. The unit is a nicely converted pole barn with thoughtful ameninites and a communicative host. Property is close to Lemon Creek and Round Barn wineries as well as near to Berrien Springs. We will definitely be back!

The Shire is absolutely Lovely! Pictures do not do it justice, it’s even more beautiful in person!! The hosts are wonderful and so accommodating! Every detail is top notch, the beds are fabulous and so comfortable we all slept so good! Visited wineries and breweries and ate some great food too and of course had to see the beautiful Lake Michigan and went to Silver beach. We had an amazing stay here and will definitely be back!

Relaxing Retreat

We loved our stay at Mike and Lisa's place. Our son loved feeding the fish and roasting smores at the firepit. The home was clean, beds comfortable and necessities stocked. We did not take advantage of the bonus space, but you could easily sleep another 1-2 people there. Mike welcomed us upon arrival and showed us the house and where things were. The grounds and vineyards beyond were lovely to walk through. Highly recommend if in the area.

Nice Place!

My husband and I were interested in a quick visit close to wineries. We really enjoyed Lemon Creek and Domaine Berrien. We found the rental to be as advertised. It was very cute and well cared for. We would certainly rent again.

Wonderful place to stay

We had a wonderful weekend stay at The Shire! Mike was so welcoming and personable. The property was beautiful and spacious and the house was perfect. Our family of 6 stayed there for a long weekend. The kids loved the basketball court and huge yard to play catch in, the swing overlooking the pond, and the huge and very spacious garage where they played ping pong and bag toss! Thank you for great stay!
