South Cliff Inn

"My wife and I took a 3 day mini vacation on the water in St. Joseph, Michigan. We found a Bed & Breakfast called South Cliff Inn. It is located in a nice quiet upscale residential neighborhood. When we arrived, we were greeted by Allison, the owner. She was upbeat, lively and friendly. She gave us a quick tour and showed us our room. I was impressed with the cleanliness of this B&B. It felt like home. The breakfast in the mornings were top rate. Allison cooked everything and served it hot and delicious. Many different coffees, Danish, pancakes, cookies, eggs, breads, etc. You won’t need to go out for breakfast because this can’t be beat. Her husband Daniel came out to greet us as well. Quite an educated individual and a great conversationalist if you prefer a lively discussion. This is their full time job and it shows they care because they want to make it work. In conclusion, I can’t find enough good things to say about our stay but I know you’ll be overwhelmed with their gracious hospitality as well as the breath taking views and sounds."

"If you're trying to decide between a local hotel and this place.... stay at the South Cliff Inn and you won't be disappointed! Max a 2 minute drive into town or to the beach. Lions Beach is just a mini hike down a wooden and paved walkway. The hosts are personable and truly care about each guests experience. Homemade breakfast is available every morning with lakeside garden views and sunsets that can't be beat. Husband and I stayed with our 8 month old for about a week and it was nice to be able to just relax on the patio and take in the wonderful views or stroll around town or the beach."

"This place is great! The fixtures are a little dated but the place is very clean. Daniel the host is amazing and exceptionally responsive and helpful. The landscape @ the lake side is beautiful, the hammock, hot tub and fire pits are a fantastic amenity which we thoroughly enjoyed. Breakfast is great, the snacks are on point and they provided wines to accompany in the afternoons. Daniel even helped us bring in our bags which was a nice touch as well. We stayed in the sunset room and watching the sunset @ the room’s patio was fantastic. Definitely worth the money and the location is perfect. About a 15 minute brisk walk to the main St. Joe beach / Silver Beach pizza."

"Best vacation stay ever! We selected the South Cliff Inn for the location, and were not disappointed! Amazing place to set and watch the sun set over the lake. Super close to the downtown and the beaches. The room was small, but that is normal for most bed and breakfasts. However, both the bed and the futon were very comfortable. However, after the location, the best part about the stay was the new owners - they were super friendly and made sure every need was taken care of. They were worried that their breakfast wasn't "high class" enough, but the breakfast bake each morning was simple done right - far more enjoyable than much fancier fair. So good that I would order it at a restaurant! This was also the first time our 8 year old daughter had gone to a bed and breakfast with us, and this location was perfect for both adults and children. We can't wait to come back next year!"
