South Cliff Inn

This was a perfect get-​a-​way! We had a wonderful room with a great breakfast each morning!

We stayed here on a chilly October day. Cozy, beautiful and lovely, with a great view. Super clean, big tub, and charming. The owners were sweet and patient with us, as this was our first B&B experience. After experiencing other B&B’s, this one is the absolute best.

This place is great! We stayed here while in town for a wedding. The couple rented all the rooms for a small group of friends. The rooms were all very different, but cute in their own way. One of the best parts was the breakfast. Bill made two amazing meals for the group to enjoy on the beautiful back deck overlooking Lake Michigan. It was close to everything and had a very relaxing feel. We got the first room by the door which was a little small and seemed exposed, but it was still a good experience at this cute B&B. I would recommend it to my friends and stay again!

My husband took me here for our one year anniversary this past weekend and we loved every minute of it. The innkeeper, Bill, was warm and welcoming, and the house was just adorable. Breakfast was delicious (Bill apparently used to be a chef) and the location was great. Not only did some of the rooms have great Lake Michigan views, but there is a great back deck and the town of St. Joe’s and the beach are walking distance. I highly recommend this place!

It wasn’t until the past year that I was made of aware of the wonderful lake front towns in michigan. Each one is sweeter than the next, and they’re home to bed & breakfasts, breweries, and quaint downtowns. We had a wedding in St Joseph which is also known as the most romantic town in Pure Michigan, so as you can imagine, expectations were high.
The South Cliff Inn charmed me from the moment we pulled up to the lot; it’s everything that makes b & b’s such fun places to stay. The innkeepers are welcoming & friendly, the place is cozy & quiet, the views are insanely beautiful and the home-​made breakfast was fabulous. My only regret is we couldn’t partake in their wine & cheese happy hour… next time!
This place inspired a great blog post.

My girlfriend and I stayed here this weekend and had an amazing weekend. The service was great. Bill, the innkeeper, was extremely helpful with suggestions for dinners at night. The room was huge and everything was provided that you could want. Breakfasts in the morning were second to none. Bill can cook like no other. He provided a great variety that could satisfy the pallet of even the pickiest of eaters. I would strongly suggest the South Cliff Inn if you’re looking for a great stay in the St. Joseph, MI area.

The South Cliff Inn B & B’s website is right on – «Enjoy beautiful sunsets and cozy comforts». The website should also mention Innkeeper Bill Swisher’s impressive cooking talents.
The large brick bungalow home with gable features has three smaller rooms – we stayed in the Gable Room which was very clean and comfortable – and four larger, suite-​type rooms with two of those rooms having attractive balconies looking over the back decks and gardens with a beautiful view of Lake Michigan.
The back gardens and decks were well maintained and the sunset views were stunning. A small deck on the cliff overlooking Lake Michigan is perfect for an evening drink or morning coffee. We also enjoyed a lovely, gourmet breakfast on the large, outside deck.
A very pleasant stay with charming hosts.
