Find out why guests give us glowing reviews!
We pride ourselves on being a clean, comfortable, welcoming space, as well as our excellent guest communication. We're travelers ourselves and know the experience matters!
We're close to wedding venues, Sister Lakes, Notre Dame, and much more — downtown Dowagiac's shops and restaurants are a short walk away.
Built in 1870, this whole-home rental is the best of both worlds: old-world grandeur meets today’s conveniences, like fast, reliable wifi.
*** New! An elevated outdoor deck, located just off the kitchen, gives your party a private space that overlooks the beautiful shared backyard. Enjoy your coffee outside in the morning, read a book at lunch, and grill up amazing local goods on the brand-new BBQ grill to be enjoyed on your outdoor dining table!
Located in the heart of Dowagiac, 1870 House is just a short walk from charming Front Street, full of vintage stores, sweet shops, and multiple bars and restaurants. 1870 House features a welcoming sunroom complete with swing, multiple first-floor living areas, and a formal dining room that is as stunning as it is Instagram-worthy! Two of the five bedrooms are located in the Derby Wing, which can be closed off from the rest of the house, and have desks to accommodate remote work or schooling.
Shuffleboard, anyone? The living room features a shuffleboard table and a selection of board games to keep you entertained when you're not watching one of the two smart TVs in the house.
Feel like cooking? Use the full kitchen, stocked with cookware, utensils, and basics. Don't feel like cooking? We'll share recommendations for the best of the many great options in the area.
You'll marvel at 1870 House's unique grandeur and not soon forget your experience.
We're two hours from Chicago, 2.5 from Detroit, 35 minutes from Notre Dame, 12 minutes from the Sister Lakes, and a world away from your worries.
We're within walking distance of several downtown Dowagiac shops and restaurants, and a quick drive from a variety of outdoor activities, golf courses, breweries and wineries, and many other unique attractions.
Not only is 1870 House an easy drive from several cities, but it's a 7-minute walk from the Dowagiac Amtrak stop.
Your hosts live directly across from 1870 House and are here to make sure your stay is enjoyable. After checking in, we can give you personal recommendations for things to do in the area and share a drink or coffee, or we can completely stay out of your hair unless there’s an issue. It’s totally up to you.
***Guest access
The entire home is exclusively for the use of our guests. There is a backyard that is shared with our coach house tenant (that is an entirely separate home), but our new deck, complete with BBQ grill, is for the exclusive use of our guests.
Located in Dowagiac, this vacation home is in a rural area and on a lake. Park Shore Golf Course and Plym Park Golf Course are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Riley-Shurte Woods Nature Sanctuary and Wilding Plant Preserve. Be sure to check out the area's animals with activities such as game walks and birdwatching.
