About this property
Fun for the whole family, a romantic get-a-way or girls weekend. We have it all
PICK ME! PICK ME! Chip Loves company. This cute little cottage is nestled in between St. Joseph (9 miles south) and South Haven(12 miles north) along the Lake Michigan shoreline. It is one mile south of Roadside park and one mile north of Hagar Park. These public beaches are surprisingly secluded and wooded in what guests have described as a diamond in the rough. There is plenty to do in both directions. Chip's Place is a cozy Family friendly cottage. We are NOT large enough for parties inside or outside. We have taken great pride and care to create an experience for our guests that will create happy memories of the cottage by the big Lake. Chip's has one central air conditioner in the main room that keeps the entire cottage cool and both bedrooms have ceiling fans. Guests' enjoy activities in the surrounding communities for year long adventures. We have received high marks for decor, activities, amenities and cleanliness!

We enjoyed our stay - the place was super clean. We enjoyed all the extras - donuts etc. I wish that there would have been ice in the frig. and a mirror in the bedroom so more that one person can get ready for an outing at a time.
Thanks for a great stay.
So cutely decorated and close to anything you would want to visit in the area! Havent had smores since I was a girl scout!!! Loved every minute of our stay! Thank you!
This cabin was clean (except for cobwebs in corners) and inviting. It was easy to find but a good drive to downtown for dinner or shopping. The nearby beach was down a tall stairway - Not easy for a family carrying more than chairs, bags & small cooler. Chip's place was a great value.

Dawns cottage was perfect for my family’s Lake Michigan trip. It is centrally located near all the cute towns to visit and quick drives to all the beach accesses. It was super well stocked which was very nice of Dawn. Beds were super comfy too!
Dawn’s place is amazing! It was very well stocked and clean. It was right in between St. Joseph and South Haven, each about a 15 minute drive. We visited the nearby beaches (about 3 min drive) and they were nice and not busy. Would definitely recommend!
The 2-bedroom home worked out very well for us. Place is cute, updated and clean. Nice dining area and living room. The only negative I have is not with the home but location. Beaches are a close drive but hard to get down to beach if you are older. But those hidden away spots are really nice to have in such close proximity to this home.
My kids and I had a delightful stay at Chip's place. The house was conveniently close to the lake but tucked away from the hustle and bustle. We found ourselves just a mile away from two different beach parks, each offering private-like beach access. When we craved a larger beach experience, South Haven and St. Joe were within an easy drive.
The house itself was warm and inviting, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully stocked. We spent quality time playing board games and my daughter even dove into a couple of books from the shelves. While we didn't use the backyard much, it was a nice space with firewood and a pit.
Despite the 4th of July festivities, the neighborhood remained peaceful. We're already looking forward to returning for another stay! 🏡🌟
Dawn was a great host, so many thoughtful little touches, her cottage is immaculate and very comfortable. Location was great! Excited to stay there again.
A friend and I had a weekend stay to relax. It was quiet, clean and exactly as represented. The location was perfect for all of our activities; beach, St.Joe's farmer's market, shops, restaurants and wineries.
Chip's Place was fantastic! So close to Hagar Park Beach, South Haven, St. Joseph. Dawn was wonderful to work with and answered all my questions promptly. The house was stocked with everything you could possibly need. Coffee, tea, s'mores fixings, snacks, condiments, bathroom items. It was literally perfect for me, my 4 year old daughter, and my sister in law to spend the weekend. You will definitely not be disappointed with this place. We just loved it!!
We had a great time staying in this cute cottage. Owners provided everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. Rental was very clean. Having a deck area on the front and back was very handy in the late afternoon and evening. Short 3 minute drive to a beautiful beach area. Added an extra night a few days before our trip.Owner was extremely accommodating and got back with me within an hour of the request.
Highly recommend this rental!
