Big, spacious and clean with all the amenities and then some. Loved the covered gazebo outside. Beach was Sandy and clean. Property was well maintained outside with plenty of firewood, chairs and fun (kayaks, paddle boat and games). It was all the comforts of home. Awesome! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica Q.

We were here for a wedding, it was super convenient. Right down the street from family, the view was spectacular. We even had some deer visit us each morning while we sipped our coffee. The hosts were a delight. So friendly and answered all of our questions. We had a nice welcome note and they made sure our stay was very comfortable. 10/10 we would stay here again for sure! Already planning a summer stay! ##### Jessica Q. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marion B.

The owners are clearly very organized and well prepared for visitors. We appreciated all the amenities left for our enjoyment, - paddleboat, kayaks and enough wood for campfires. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to explore St. Joseph Island and surrounding area. ##### Marion B. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David K.

From finding the cottage on VRBO to the end of our trip, our host Christine was absolutely amazing. The cottage far exceeded our expectations!! Every little detail was thought out. The cottage, the property and the area were beautiful. We have never been anywhere that supplied toilet paper let alone spices, coffee, laundry soap, pet supplies, the list goes on and on and on. The pool table was a great surprise. There wasn’t ANYTHING that wasn’t thought of….kayaks, life jackets, paddle boat, horseshoes, board games, cards, books, 2 cable tvs, and great WIFI (the kids really appreciated that lol). My husband and I, our young adult children and two dogs had an absolutely wonderful time. I actually feel like I know Christine, she is the nicest person I’ve never met! I would not hesitate for a second in recommending Christine and Harry’s cottage to anyone. Thank you Christine and Harry! You are the true meaning of being “The Hostesses With The Mostesses” 💕 ##### Sonia H.
