Historic and quiet St. Joseph neighborhood: Lovely comfortable 100 yo two story

A two-story 4 bedroom 2 bath cottage just blocks from the beach, downtown St. Joseph, and many other attractions and points of interest. Up on the bluff, so you don’t have the crowds and the walk up the bluff to town. Perfect for one or two families. Sleeps 9, with kitchenette and breakfast nook upstairs and full kitchen and dining room downstairs. Parking for 2 cars and an easy walk to Silver Beach, Whirlpool Fountain, restaurants and many other local attractions. Free WiFi internet, Central AC. Charcoal grill. No yard but front porch for relaxing in this quiet, historic, old neighborhood in historic section of Old St Jo. This is not a commercial rental but our own home now offered to guests who appreciate homey ambiance. We are not professional rental hosts. We are an older retired couple who planned to live out our days in this house but necessity dictated a smaller one-story, so we decided to make our home available to families who want to experience old Saint Joseph as it used to be. This hundred year old house is full of good memories and we hope you enjoy adding to them.
