Things To Do

The area of Stevensville, St. Joseph and Benton Harbor is a beautiful part of southwest Michigan sitting on the southern east coast of Lake Michigan. We hope you can take some time to explore the area that we are so fond of and where Caroline grew up. There are numerous places to eat, drink, hike, walk the beach, fish, golf, and bird watch. Here are some of our favorite places worth visiting.
