We spent the Columbus Day weekend here with our friends. Just a quick trip over from Chicago. The house has a small footprint and it built up, so there are a ton of stairs, but they have used every square foot efficiently. It’s centrally located to both St. Joseph and everything in Benton Harbor. We walked in to downtown St. Joseph multiple times. Day with no issue. The house was clean and communication was easy. We would definitely stay again.
Only thing I would change is the second bedroom has a door that is glass-paned which is a little awkward when you have two couples staying.

Tower House was the perfect place to stay. It had everything we needed. The house was beautiful and comfortable. We loved sitting out on the docks all the time.

House was adorable! Very large garage for parking multiple cars, house is separate with privacy off the main road. Super convenient to all restaurants, shops and what the town has to offer. Coffee canal next door was sooo yummy and loved the convenience. Lots of nice touches on decor. Comfy beds.
There was not an iron when we arrived, as advertised. We were there for a wedding weekend and let them know. A new one was bought and brought to us within a few hours.
A few things to note..
The 2nd smaller bedroom has clear glass paned pocket doors so it is not completely private for changing/sleeping. We hung a sheet over the doors creativity but would have preferred privacy. Looking back it doesn’t show this in the advertised pictures.
There were spider webs all over the back decks and balconies, all 3 floors, tables, chairs, railings, lights. I know it’s summer but we would have appreciated the decks being sprayed off and larger webs taken down. The living room bathroom sink was clogged as the stopper was jammed into the hole unable to use the release pull. We fixed it ourselves (in construction) and is working fine now. GFI outlet in main bath wasn’t working but there was one close by in bedroom. We let them know.
Nothing to make us not stay there again, just some small oversights we hope they can improve for the next guests:) All in all it was a wonderful stay.

The townhouse is fabulous - and a few minutes from everything (town, beaches, restaurants).

The house was great and we appreciate that you came right away to fix the clogged drain.
However, of all the houses we've rented over the years (many), the Tower House had the most poorly stocked kitchen. Can opener was broken, no oven mitts, no tupperware, no wine glasses, no blender, no deep (Pyrex) baking dishes, no spices, no extra hand towels, old terrible sponge, no measuring spoons or cups, not enough coffee mugs or silverware, terrible coffee supply (Maxwell house?), no lemon/lime juice squeezer, no cheese grater, ... drawers in the refrigerator don't open correctly.
I think you should have a friend who is a cook come over and help you get the kitchen up to standard.
Another suggestion is to provide instructions about the thermostat (sorry if you did and I didn't see them). We couldn't figure out where it was.

Property was excellent, soft linens, comfortable beds, body soap, shampoo and tissues were available.
The property was clean and the grill was very useful as we brought food to grill. The area was being built up and we would consider spending time again next year to see the area improvements. Close breakfast/ coffee shop next door. Area restaurants and golf courses we also enjoyed.

We loved this very unique home. From the second you walk in, you just want to keep exploring and compliment the very talented individuals that created such a beautiful space. The pictures are great but it’s even more spacious and beautiful in person. Great location. We walked into town to shop, eat, and enjoyed the beautiful beach and breathtaking sunsets. Outdoor area is fantastic on all levels. Only thing I’d change next time is staying longer. Communication was great. Thank you so much.

We loved the location of the house. The house is beautiful but has many steps. We loved being able to sit on the back deck and make stores and just generally relaxing. Great stay!

This home was amazing! Great location along the canal. A short drive or long walk into Saint Joseph from Benton Harbor . It has an awesome coffee shop next door, a great fire pit and several balconies. I will definitely stay here again when visiting.
