Historic Silver Beach house - 1 block from downtown State St.

BEST LOCATION IN DOWNTOWN ST. JOE!
This beautiful historic house is only a short block from State St. restaurants, wineries, and boutiques. Just one block to the bluffs that will take you down the steps to Silver Beach. You can see downtown St. Joe and the bluffs from the front porch of the house!

Located on State St. in the Historic District, the "McNeil House" was originally built in 1855. While it still holds its historic charm, it resonates the coastal beach life!
We all love our pets and hate to leave them behind, so we welcome up to two well-groomed pets as long as guests agree to follow our pet rules. As a courtesy to future guests that may have severe allergies to pets, we DO NOT allow pets on the furniture or bedding, and guests must clean up any additional shedding. Pet's must be crated when left alone. Guests must pick up after them outside. We charge $175 Per pet. Please let us know if you'll be bringing a pet.

Great place in St Joseph MI for a family gathering.

My siblings and our families had a great holiday weekend here. The house was big enough to give everyone their own sleeping space, and the living area was great for gathering as a family. Location close to downtown and silver beach was a plus- we could walk everywhere we needed to go.

Excellent Accomodations!

A large group of friends stayed here based on the number of rooms, beds, and short distance to the cute downtown area and the lake. We all enjoyed our stay. This house has a lot of charm and is on the older side, but being over 160 years old you have to expect settling in the house. I would stay here again!

Great house in a fantastic location

We stayed at this home for 5 nights with a large family group, ages 3-68. We absolutely loved it! The house is very old in an established neighborhood one block from downtown and one block from the lake view. We walked to the beach every day and loved how close it was to everything - we barely needed the car during our trip. The house had a few minor issues (again, old house) but Rebecca was responsive and accommodating and fixed all issues to our satisfaction. We had a simply lovely stay and will definitely be back.

Staying with Family for a Wedding

The house was great!! It's location gave us so much to do in our spare time! Kids went to the Children's museum. The fall colors were wonderful! I would definitely stay again. The kitchen was well equipped. I made breakfast and had everything I needed. The only negative I have is that there is only 1 bathroom upstairs for 4 bedrooms. It was okay for us because we were not at capacity, but it might be an issue for others.

Perfect Location

We had a girls weekend. There were 9 of us. This house is perfect for a large group. The location is walking distance to EVERYTHING. The beds are super comfortable. An added surprise is the first floor bedroom (#2) is an en-suite. I would definitely recommend this property. I will definitely return the next time I find myself in St. Joseph. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.
