Langley Covered Bridge is the longest remaining wooden covered bridge in the state of Michigan, and is located several miles north of Centreville, Michigan, the seat of St. Joseph County. Many of the covered bridges in Michigan and other states no longer exist, and therefore the structure is an historic landmark and tourist attraction frequented by visitors to St. Joseph County. The bridge is named for Thomas W. Langley and family, pioneers who helped establish the village of Centreville in the mid-19th century. In fact, Langley was the very first settler in Centreville. The red-paneled bridge, along with a causeway just to its north that forms part of Covered Bridge Road, spans the St. Joseph River. The bridge was constructed in 1887 by nearby Parkville builder Pierce Bodmer. It does this just above what is called the Sturgis Dam (although the city of Sturgis, Michigan is located nowhere near this location). The dam is adjacent to a county recreation area called Covered Bridge Park; just across the river within sight of the bridge is Pahl Point Park, which is in fact closer to the bridge itself. The bridge has been a very important symbol for the village of Centreville for almost 100 years; in fact, the village's annual summer festival is called Covered Bridge Days. -wiki

"Stayed with some Friends for a quick trip. House was well kept and new. Pretty location. Met all expectations"

"Pros: The lake is crystal clear, shallow for kids to play in and a sandy bottom. The surrounding neighborhood is well kept and quiet with good neighbors. Having the paddle boat was nice, along with the one double kayak. There is plenty of room to park in the back. The dishwasher and washer/dryer were nice to have as well. Cons: The house was not cleaned before we arrived. We opened the door and were hit with a musty smell that never left even with opening the windows and airing the place out....

"I would definitely highly recommend this property. They have everything in the house that you need.Great view...Great neighborhood, very secure and safe place to stay. "
