Historic Silver Beach house - 1 block from downtown State St.

BEST LOCATION IN DOWNTOWN ST. JOE!
This beautiful historic house is only a short block from State St. restaurants, wineries, and boutiques. Just one block to the bluffs that will take you down the steps to Silver Beach. You can see downtown St. Joe and the bluffs from the front porch of the house!

Located on State St. in the Historic District, the "McNeil House" was originally built in 1855. While it still holds its historic charm, it resonates the coastal beach life!
We all love our pets and hate to leave them behind, so we welcome up to two well-groomed pets as long as guests agree to follow our pet rules. As a courtesy to future guests that may have severe allergies to pets, we DO NOT allow pets on the furniture or bedding, and guests must clean up any additional shedding. Pet's must be crated when left alone. Guests must pick up after them outside. We charge $175 Per pet. Please let us know if you'll be bringing a pet.

Great place in St Joseph MI for a family gathering.

My siblings and our families had a great holiday weekend here. The house was big enough to give everyone their own sleeping space, and the living area was great for gathering as a family. Location close to downtown and silver beach was a plus- we could walk everywhere we needed to go.

Love the location!!

We loved the accessibility to downtown, the restaurants, the shops (Kilwins and Full of Crepe were favorites) And also to the beach. We could walk everywhere and enjoy everything thing St Joe offers. We were a large family group with a lot of different ages, from an infant to retirees. Everyone enjoyed the house. Very clean with enough room for our group of 14. We will be back!

Excellent Accomodations!

A large group of friends stayed here based on the number of rooms, beds, and short distance to the cute downtown area and the lake. We all enjoyed our stay. This house has a lot of charm and is on the older side, but being over 160 years old you have to expect settling in the house. I would stay here again!
