Convenient location with a remote feel and plenty of room to stretch out and play, The House@63 is a spacious dog-friendly property with a fenced-in play and pet area and a mostly fenced two-acre yard with a rambling lawn perfect for anyone looking for a little space. Enjoy a fire in the large outdoor fire pit, play a few rounds of cornhole, kick a soccer ball around, and practice your disc golf with several baskets set up around the property! Grill up some dinner and dine outside on the deck with birds and butterflies galore and beautiful breezes. Star gaze, collect lightning bugs, and then fall asleep listening to the waves on Lake Michigan.
The House@63 was built in 1947 by a Benton Harbor fruit wholesaler. We have done our best to maintain the character and period details of the house while updating it for today’s lifestyle. Enjoy the large and comfortable living area with original hardwood floors, arches, and many period furnishings. Cuddle up on the oversized sectional couch, listen to some albums on the record player, or watch a movie on the large smart TV. Spread out on the beautiful bright comfy sun porch and watch the water birds come and go in the wetland pond, take a nap on the extra long daybed, read one of many provided books in peace, enjoy dinner at the expansive dining table, or play one of many provided games and/or puzzles with the family.
The House@63 features a midcentury era vintage-looking but fully modern and well-equipped kitchen including an air fryer, toaster, microwave, coffee bar, RO water filtration system, and stainless appliances. We provide the basics like oil, s & p, and sugar, along with a well-stocked spice cabinet. Outside there are two grills for your enjoyment, one gas and one charcoal. You can grill up some of the bountiful local offerings available at the farm stands and grocers.
The House@63 has four bedrooms all updated with new mattresses and pillows, high thread count cotton sheets, cozy comforters, and cotton quilts. There are plentiful hooks, mirrors, storage, and hangers for each room. Two bedrooms are on the main level, one with a king bed and one with a queen bed. Two more bedrooms are upstairs, one with a king bed and one with two twin beds. There is ample space in the upstairs king bedroom for a (provided) queen air mattress if more sleeping space is needed. There is a third twin bed on the sunny upstairs landing perfect for lounging, reading, and cat naps. The twin bedroom has blackout shades.
The House@63 has three beautifully updated full bathrooms with robe hooks and ample storage for toiletries. There are two bathrooms on the main level, one with a bathtub/shower combo and one with shower only. The third bathroom is on the lower level and has a large shower with a handheld sprayer, perfect for rinsing everyone after a day at the beach! We provide quality shampoo, conditioner, locally handmade soap, hair dryers, towels, and washcloths.
The lower level of The House@63 features a large laundry room which includes a full-size HE washer and dryer, a large laundry-folding table, iron & ironing board, and provided laundry supplies.
The House@63 is located on the Lake Michigan side of M-63, literally a one minute drive to Hagar Beach which is dog-friendly and has ample parking and a large playground for the kids. The property is also 5 minutes from Roadside Park, another dog-friendly beach with no stairs, 7 minutes from Rocky Gap Beach (for the rock hounds), 8 minutes from Jean Klock Park, a beautiful long beach with no stairs, and 11 minutes from Silver Beach Park in downtown St. Joseph which features a giant (free) splash pad, carousel, and playgrounds. Silver Beach Park is also steps from all of the wonderful shops, restaurants, live music venues, art galleries, breweries, wineries, bakeries etc that St. Joe and Benton Harbor have to offer. Charming South Haven beaches, shops, and restaurants are a 20 minute drive north and the quaint towns of Saugatuck and Douglas are only 35 minutes north.
The House@63 has several beach towels, chairs, coolers, and sand toys which you are welcome to borrow! And if outdoor activities are your thing, The House@63 is 4 minutes from Riverside Kayak Park, 9 minutes from Sarett Nature Center, and 10-20 minutes away from several disc golf courses, including River Park in Benton Harbor and the new Lake Arvesta Farms in South Haven. The property is only 20 minutes from the Kal Haven Trailhead in South Haven where you can ride your bike all the way to Kalamazoo! M-63 is also well-known in the area for its wide shoulders and beautiful rolling hills and views of Lake Michigan, perfect for road bikers.
It’s impossible to fit in the space how much there is to do and see in Southwest Michigan in every season, with warm summer beaches, stunning fall foliage drives, and magically snowy winter activities like ice skating and Nordic skiing! Plan to catch at least one awe-inspiring sunset on Lake Michigan during your stay. It’s definitely a thing here.
Located in Benton Harbor, this vacation home is in a rural area and on a lake. The area's natural beauty can be seen at Lake Michigan and Silver Beach. Consider John EN Howard Bandshell for a night out or Margaret B. Upton Arboretum if you're traveling with kids. Enjoy the area's slopes with cross-country skiing, and don't miss out on the snowmobiling, ice skating, and sledding.
