About this property

The Shire - "There's some good in the world." Winery/Brewery tours available

Nestled on five secluded, tree-lined acres, with a pond, waterfall, fire pit, tree swing, basketball court and walking trails, The Shire feels a million miles away from it all - but isn't! We are only minutes away from wineries, breweries, amazing beaches, restaurants and shopping. (Notre Dame is an easy 30 minute drive).

Southwest Michigan is a beautiful place to live!

We'd LOVE to share it with you.

This is a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom 1,100 apartment located on the backside of the outbuilding on our property - completely out of the sight lines to our home which is about 50 yards away.

We have a pond with a waterfall and a deck to enjoy both. Enjoy the fire pit and tree swing, walking trails and 2 acre open field. There is a 1/2 court basketball, beach supplies in the front closet.

A very nice & clean stay!
Mid winter is not the typical rental season for this property but there was plenty of heat to get the spaces warm and cozy. The unit is a nicely converted pole barn with thoughtful ameninites and a communicative host. Property is close to Lemon Creek and Round Barn wineries as well as near to Berrien Springs. We will definitely be back!

Relaxing Retreat
We loved our stay at Mike and Lisa's place. Our son loved feeding the fish and roasting smores at the firepit. The home was clean, beds comfortable and necessities stocked. We did not take advantage of the bonus space, but you could easily sleep another 1-2 people there. Mike welcomed us upon arrival and showed us the house and where things were. The grounds and vineyards beyond were lovely to walk through. Highly recommend if in the area.

My husband and I were interested in a quick visit close to wineries. We really enjoyed Lemon Creek and Domaine Berrien. We found the rental to be as advertised. It was very cute and well cared for. We would certainly rent again.

Wonderful place to stay
We had a wonderful weekend stay at The Shire! Mike was so welcoming and personable. The property was beautiful and spacious and the house was perfect. Our family of 6 stayed there for a long weekend. The kids loved the basketball court and huge yard to play catch in, the swing overlooking the pond, and the huge and very spacious garage where they played ping pong and bag toss! Thank you for great stay!

Quaint, Quiet, Quality
We visited The Shire for a mother-daughter weekend to celebrate our mom's 70th birthday. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect location and would love to come back sometime. The Shire is remarkably clean, the beds are very comfortable, and the space in general is very nice. Due to weather we weren't able to enjoy the outdoor activities, but the property is the precise definition of beautiful country living. This home is in close proximity to all of the shopping, dining, and recreation you could want. The hosts sent us a personal message prior to our arrival and made themselves available should we need any assistance. Thank you for opening your beautiful home to us. It was just perfect.

We enjoyed our stay at The Shire. The property is a beautiful and peaceful place to hang out. Coffee on the patio and walking to the vineyard was cool. We enjoyed beach views, shopping in St. Joes, silver beach pizza! A day at silver beach and playing games back at the house! Perfect getaway!!!
