Family-friendly vacation rentals in St. Joseph County

We loved our weekend on long lake. We had a nice relaxing time hanging out, fishing, enjoying a fire in the evening, etc. Also very much appreciated how stocked the house was with small things we needed, but wouldnt think to bring, like ziplock bags or just common kitchen tools. Overall, a great spot to chill on the lake and Laura and Steve are great hosts who respond quickly if there are any issues.

My stay at this Airbnb was wonderful! Nestled in a remote location, it was the perfect escape from everyday life. Upon arrival, we were delighted by a welcome basket filled with goodies from the local blueberry farm. The outdoor wood fire tubs were a highlight—amazing and well worth the effort! With unlimited wood available, we kept the place warm and cozy during the chilly weekend. We also enjoyed the company of the resident cat, whom we named "Kit." She was friendly and loved to cuddle, adding a sweet touch to our stay. Joseph, our host, was attentive and responsive, ensuring everything was plowed for easy access with our AWD SUV. He checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Overall, we had an incredible time and can’t wait to return to this hidden gem! Highly recommend for a peaceful getaway!

We had 11 adults and five small children in the house for 4 days. There was room to gather and to get away from each other as needed. The indoor pool and hot tub were in great shape and perfect for our family. All appliances worked well. Bathrooms were well equipped. Beds were very comfortable. The host was available when we had questions. Wi-Fi worked great for streaming on multiple devices at the same time. Could use a few more chairs in the dining area.

Clean, cute and peaceful. The host didn't require a lot of clean up tasks before departure. Kitchen well stocked with utensils to cook.

a very relaxing & beautiful place for a family. love the view from the front porch & the yard plus a great swimming area for the kids. will definitely be back

This is the third time we've stayed at Lori's place. Our family of 12, coming from Cleveland and Chicago, to spend time on the water and together. The kitchen is nice and big with plenty of cookware for gourmet meals. The 2 mile loop around the lake is quiet and a good route for running. There's lot of space to spread out and enjoy the fresh air.

Rented for the weekend with friends for a quick getaway and had a great time! Beautiful and peaceful spot! Very clean and Steve was fantastic to deal with. There was enough space inside and out for all 6 of us to relax and take in the lake view, dine, play games and just enjoy our time together. Great place to stay!

2 beautiful bedrooms, third bedroom is a children's bedroom. Although an adult could sleep on the lower bunk, the mattress was not comfortable. 4th bed is in the basement. The house is big and nicely decorated and we had a great stay. 1 issue with water heater but owner responded to text quickly and we were able to resolve the problem ourself. We recommend this place.

This place is amazing. It's large; beautiful; comfortable; and in a fantastic location, with a lake right past the backyard AND across the street from the front door. There were so many nice touches by the hosts (like extra blankets in all the bedrooms; lots of thick towels; lots of pots, pans, dishes, spices, etc. in the kitchen). We highly recommend it!

Great place! Very handicap friendly, with a wide open floor plan, large deck, and an accessible bathroom. We would certainly return here. Beautiful and clean lake! Both the check in and check out process were easy and well explained. Cheryl was a great host! Extremely helpful and responsive.

Loved the lay out of the house for our big group. We had enough space for everybody. Safe neighborhood and in a cul-de- sac with low traffic was great. The heated pool, back yard space and privacy was a major win as well. The park and pickle ball courts in walking distance were a nice surprise. 5 pm check in is not ideal for young families. All in all a great family vacation.

This was a fun & relaxing vacation for us, our kids and the grandkids. We really never left the place except to take the boat out. The kids and grandkids had a blast in the water and the shallow water was perfect for the young ones - they especially liked the water trampoline! The house is very spacious so we never felt crowded and my daughter was able to ‘work from home’ there utilizing the desk upstairs and the picnic table on the deck one day. The kitchen offered us everything we needed for food preparation so we didn’t have to go out to eat. We would recommend Karen’s place to others.

Beautiful home and location. Brandi was very helpful and responded promptly. Would stay here again!

This is our 2nd time coming here! Perfect location a winter break, quick little drive for skiing, tubing and tobogganing. Highly recommend eating at Brewsters Food and Spirits and 120 Taphouse.

Great host! Very friendly and helpful. Beautiful place to get away and relax. Enjoyed our stay and Amanda and Tim made it perfect for our family.

As relatives of Dorothy Eppstein we were excited to be able to stay in the Frank Lloyd Wright home but none of us were prepared for how stunning the experience would be. The restoration was meticulous and lovely with thoughtful touches throughout. What a joy to be able to experience the artistry of FLW first hand. Thank you for this labor of love and for the privilege of being able to stay there. A real treasure!

Enjoyed a brief stay while visiting with family in the area. Comfortable home. Nice large front porch.

Wow! This house really hit us the jack pot for our stay! What an amazing experience we had. The hosts were wonderful and very easy to communicate with. Smooth experience and no headache. My friends were all beyond satisfied with the house and the way it was hidden behind the woods for privacy. Not only that but a walking distance to the lake! The boat experience was also awesome and very smooth! Loved every single second of it! I Would love to rent this house again! Will definitely come back again!
