The town located in the southwest portion of Michigan was founded in 1834. Its location on the shore of Lake Michigan has played an important role in the city’s popularity and visitors to the area can indulge in a number of fun activities including salmon fishing. Dune racing at Warren Dunes State Park and the Silver Beach Carousel, are the other important attractions in the area. Several wineries, top-notch restaurants, and exclusive shops ensure that the city even appeals to the most discerning of vacationers. Vacationers heading to St. Joseph do not have to get a room in a hotel as they can do a lot more when they stay in a vacation rental and visit the area at their own pace. Staying in one of the best Airbnbs in St. Joseph, MI, is also an ideal way to experience the Riviera lifestyle without having to head to France.
