Easy short walk to downtown St. Joseph, restaurants and shopping. Golf course was short drive. The owner, Cindy, was very helpful with suggestions for dining and events. There a fire house right next door and a church behind the house, so sleeping was a challenge at times since the church chimes ring EVERY hour all night long!

The location is very convenient for trips to the beach and downtown shopping. The home is older, but it was very clean. The beds were very comfortable and the owner responded quickly to questions. We hope to visit again soon. ##### Ryan T. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan D.
