The experience could not have been better.

I rented the entire house for a family reunion (7 adults and 6 children). The experience could not have been better. The photos do not do the house justice. There was tons of room for my family to congregate as well be able to spend quiet time separately. The property is vast and allows for a lot of outdoor time. I had a catered dinner through Morris and Nate was wonderful and the food was delicious. Highly recommend and hope to return when it’s a bit warmer so we can take advantage of the salt water pool!

Five stars aren’t enough.

We considered having our daughter’s wedding at a local venue where we would have to do all of the work. We are so glad that we chose the Morris Estate instead. The staff was excellent in ensuring that all the details were taken care of and even when something challenging came up, they exceeded our expectations in how quickly they took care of us. What could have been a stressful day turned out to be a glorious event. Many of our guests said it was the nicest wedding they had ever been to. Five stars aren’t enough.

Serene, quiet setting right on St Joseph River.

Serene, quiet setting right on St Joseph River. Back patio looks over river as it flows by. Sprawling ranch home with lovely, high-quality decor. Nice, easy, wooded walking paths on property. We stayed in a suite in The River House and found it to be quiet with wonderful amenities. A nice getaway. Would also be a beautiful location for a special event. Staff was kind and helpful but not intrusive.
