Berrien Springs · 整套民居 · 3室3床2.5卫 · 可住6人 · Woodsy Retreat near Wineries
Welcome to our peaceful getaway “cabin” on 3 acres of private wooded land in charming Berrien Springs with nearby Lake Chapin. Our 1.5-story home was custom built and features a variety of gorgeous, locally-sourced woodwork. Cathedral windows overlook a ravine with a meandering creek. Take a tranquil walk along the trail that we cut through the property and make sure to stop along the way to catch some sights and sounds from the large pond. Explore the local vineyards, orchards, and breweries. The space consists of 2 full bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, family room, kitchen, dining nook and laundry room all on the main level, an upstairs loft area with a half bathroom, and an unfinished basement with home gym. Sliding doors off of the dining nook take you out onto the spacious deck equipped with lounge furniture and a dining table with 4 chairs. A patio area connects the deck to the backyard. We have strong Wifi through Comcast and have set up two mesh for extended Wifi range outside. The spacious primary bedroom has a king-sized bed and en suite bathroom. The guest bedroom has a queen-sized bed. Both bedrooms feature vaulted wood ceilings and wonderful tree views. The primary bedroom has two separate closets and a dresser. The secondary bedroom has a small closet and a storage bench. The upstairs loft has a dedicated work area, a futon, reading chair, and in the closet you can find two queen-sized air mattresses to use for your additional guests. In addition to serving as extra sleep space and/or workspace, this area is also great to relax, do yoga/stretch/meditate, draw, read a good book or just mellow out to the treetop views. You could even learn to pick some banjo, which you are free to use (or bring your own instrument of choice)! The living area features a Samsung soundbar system with subwoofer for theater-quality sound. This room is also equipped with a 100-inch remote-controlled projector screen and projector connected to an Amazon fire stick (note: this is what constitutes the "TV"). Upon your arrival, we will have instructions for connecting to this system. Luxuriate with plenty of space in the super comfy oversized leather sofa set and assortment of cozy throws. Throw in a quick load of laundry with a Samsung front-loading washer and dryer set. An iron, ironing board, folding table and drying rack are also available for your use. There is also plenty of outside parking on the property and turnaround spots. You also have access to the unfinished basement which we have equipped with a workout area that includes a squat rack, adjustable weight bench, Olympic deadlift bar with a set of 10- and 20-pound bumper plates, four additional 5-pound plates, and a 5-20 pound dumbbell weight set. (Please use this equipment at your discretion and with caution). The backyard offers a rustic, campground-like feeling. Enjoy sitting around the firepit with friends and family, outfitted with 6 Adirondack chairs. Hammocks are available for your use and, if not hung, will be kept in the deck storage box. We also have two camping chairs you are welcome to use (stored in the garage). You may also use our collapsible tripod grill and over-the-fire grill rack (also stored in the garage) for campfire meals. We keep a tabletop charcoal Weber grill on the deck for bbq lovers. The kitchen and pantry are equipped with cooking and baking necessities. Cast iron cookware, Pyrex casserole dishes, Ninja food processor, griddle, waffle maker, and Crock Pot are some of what you will find. In addition to the appliance basics (electric range, oven, toaster) we also have an inverter microwave that doubles as an airfryer for all of your airfry needs. Ninja coffee drip maker doubles as a Keurig. We will provide a few pods to get you started. Chemex pourover, coffee bean grinder, and electric kettle are on hand for the coffee enthusiast. We provide a cast iron tea kettle with steeper for the tea lover. The dining table seats 4 and there is additional two-person seating at the kitchen island table.
This was a very comfortable place with plenty of space to spread out. Jennifer was always responsive and would provide updates as needed. Location was peaceful and quiet but not too far from places to pick up groceries or to eat out. Kitchen was well stocked and had most everything needed to cook with. Would definitely come back if we’re ever in the area again.
BOOK RIGHT NOW - What a breath taking place! My adult children stayed the weekend to celebrate a special birthday. Jennifer couldn't have been more communicative, gave great directions, and left us a bottle of wine. There were a few ants, but this home is in the middle of the woods, and they looked like they were dying. CUTEeee downtown and things to do around. Could not have been happier!
Jennifer's place was a great place to stay for our daughter's wedding at North Lake Event Center. It was an easy 10 minute drive through Berrien Springs to the venue. The house is exactly as described and very comfortable. My only "complaint" (and it's not really a complaint, just a preference) is that there are no TVs in the bedroom, I like to fall asleep to the noise of a TV, although it wouldn't be a deal breaker as I'd stay there again in a heartbeat. I wish the weather on would have cooperated to have a fire in the fire pit. The home is very close to several breweries and wineries and there are a few bars and restaurants nearby as well. Great Stay!
This was a very comfortable home to stay in -- very close to town Yet reclusive enough to feel out in the wood away from commotion. Lots of beautiful windows great backyard fire pit and lovely kitchen lay out expanding to comfortable living room and bedrooms.
Cycle through Southwest Michigan's "Wine Trail" or pick fruit from nearby orchards. We are minutes away from Lake Chapin, where you can fish, kayak, or just relax. Fernwood Botanical Garden and Love Creek Nature Center are nearby. We are only five minutes from downtown Berrien Springs and Andrews University (enjoy the convenience of being only 5 minutes to grocery stores, gas stations, pharmacy, eateries, etc in town); 15-20 minutes to Bridgman and popular Weko Beach on Lake Michigan; 15 minutes to the towns of Niles and Buchanan, and even only 30 minutes to South Bend / Notre Dame. There is plenty to explore and we are happy to recommend additional activities and restaurants.
Ample parking on the property. Guests may bring their own bicycles, e-bikes, or other forms of transportation.
