Such a lovely place to stay, not too far from Notre Dame (25 mins or so. About 20 from airport). Very tasteful, comfortable, beautiful location, wonderful service, quiet. Big, well decorated rooms. We’ve been here twice and we were pleased both times!
Stunning inn on St Joseph River. Felt remote and like a true getaway experience. Lots to do within a half hour drive and such a scenic area in Michigan.
We absolutely loved our stay at the Morris Estate! The Ella Suite was all they promised it to be! It was beautiful!! Amazing property, gorgeous house, delicious breakfast, kind hosts… it was the perfect stay! We will definitely be back!
They room was very nice. Clean with upgrades and decorated with ferrier decor, very clever. We enjoyed the deck and the view. We also walked on the drive back to the River house. It was getting late so we did not walk the trails, but we saw deer and one fearless fawn! We decided when we come back, we will try the River house, since it is in the woods and we would be more likely to walk the trails.
Our only complaint is the room was cold and we did no figure out how to raise the temperature.
I highly recommend the Morris Estate.
We stayed at the River House at the Morris Estate for three nights with friends. It’s an amazing place and was absolutely gorgeous. It is a hidden gem in Niles, Michigan. We had a beautiful, clean suite overlooking the river. We spent lots of time at the outside fire pit and the fireplace inside and also walked the many trails on the estate. The breakfasts were delicious and every employee we met was kind, friendly and informative. We plan to return next year!
We had previously stayed at the Morris Estate and loved it! We had friends coming to visit, so we booked it for them and they loved it as much as we did.
This place is a hidden gem. We enjoy going to bed and breakfast places for our anniversary. We have been to over 20 and this is one of the best. Pretty amazing place all around. Great location to wineries, beaches, and restaurants.
Lovely historic property in a beautiful setting on the river. Everything was spotless and well maintained. Breakfast were wonderful and staff were all extremely helpful and friendly.
Will definitely return!
I cannot say enough. This place was fantastic. We stayed at the red horse cabin and it was so peaceful and romantic. The innkeeper was wonderful and accommodating. The property was breathtaking and we enjoyed a snow filled walk to the pavilion and covered bridge. The endless snacks and coffee and firewood were an absolute fabulous perk, and the breakfast was so good. We can't wait to return!!
We stayed in the Morris Suite and let me tell you this is by far one of if not the best overnight experience I've ever had. Staff was helpful but otherwise left us be. The house and room were beautiful, the bed was very comfortable, and we absolutely loved the shower and tub. They even recommended dinner options that turned out to be superb. We will definitely be returning!
