β€œInside we found a warm, welcoming space. A cute little lake cabin that combines coastal rustic charm, and a sense of home...making it a sweet spot to enjoy the lakes.”

β€œCottage was awesome. And the host was super responsive.”

β€œEverything was great and cute. Would do it again”

β€œThe cottage was perfect for us. Everything was walking distance and it was relaxing.”

β€œUnit 1 can potentially sleep 6 people. We had an adult couple & 3 teens & it was a little small for sleeping, but it was adequate. The bed in the loft can possibly sleep 2 people, if they are children. The loft also gets a little warm compared to the lower part of the cabin. We used the cabin only for sleeping, changing, bathroom. We did not cook there but the cabin has enough utensils, etc for having meals. Refrigerator/freezer was adequate. Love the location - access to Little Crooked lake, a very short walk to Driftwood & Round Lake. This is the 2nd time staying at this location - last year, we were in Unit 5 with 6 people - that was plenty of room with 3 bedrooms.”

β€œGreat stay and would not hesitate to book again.”

β€œPerfect place for the night too stat”

β€œOverall a fine stay for our anniversary / baby moon trip. The king size bed was uncomfortable, however everything was very clean on the inside. The walk to water is near but it is not a beach by any means. It is a patch of grass in between two properties - which isn’t the hosts fault at all. Just something to note if you’re hoping for more of a beach feel. Close enough to drive to Saint Joe’s Michigan and other Michigan places. Overall we had a great weekend.”

β€œWe had an absolute blast during our stay! There’s so much to do! It’s right in the middle of a cozy lakeside town and the locals were all so friendly and helpful. The cottage is cozy and has all the necessary amenities. There’s a hammock and a fire pit right outside your door. The hosts were incredibly helpful, responsive, and quick to fix any issue we had. 10/10 would highly recommend this place for short stays or long ones like ours.”

β€œWe really enjoyed our 2-night-stay. It fit our group of 5 well. The private outside area of Cottage 1 was especially nice.”

β€œI had an amazing stay here! The place was exactly as described β€” clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The host was extremely responsive, welcoming, and made the entire experience smooth from check-in to check-out. The location was perfect and close to everything I needed. I really appreciated all the thoughtful touches throughout the home that made it feel relaxing and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a great experience!”

β€œGreat place. Nice stay. The only issue was what I believe to be a very noisy sump pump right outside our cabin. The extension cord ran across the outside of the front door, so I assume that it was a temporary fix for a water issue.”

β€œVery peaceful with lots of birds around”

β€œBeautiful cute place great scenery and quiet loved it”

β€œvery nice place”

β€œI had the pleasure of staying for a week while attending clinicals, and I found the home to be wonderfully cozy, providing a sense of safety and comfort. The serene environment allowed me to unwind after long days of work. This location serves as an ideal base for exploring both downtown Chicago and Grand Rapids, Michigan. One suggestion for improvement would be to consider adding a plug-in air freshener to enhance the overall ambiance”

β€œ10/10 !!”

β€œPositive: Clean and cabin location - close to restaurants and lakes”

β€œSister Lake Cottage #1 could not have worked out better for us (2). Would be a "tight squeeze" to have a party of six staying here. But, location, amenities, and other, were first-rate. Real easy to visit local restaurants right down the street, and evening ice cream watching the sunset. Super close to the wedding venue, and local church... And Dowagiac is just 15 minutes down the road for some bonus shopping and "eats". The place was very tidy, cozy, and well appointed. Used the private patio and fire-pit. Even got some fishing in. Easy to recommend!”

β€œNice!”

β€œNice!”

β€œSecond year we have rented this great cottage. Renter accommodated all our needs and replied quickly. Can't wait to come back next year. ”

β€œOur stay at the cottage was quite enjoyable. The cottage was clean, had ample room for two people, was super cute, and perfect for relaxing after a day of training. We stayed for a week and would return in the future if we were in the area. There are a couple of nice restaurants in the area to enjoy as well. ”

β€œCute cottage it was perfect for my husband and myself. It was clean and convenient for our family reunion. Also great communication with the owners or property management. (not sure who I was texting with)”

β€œVery cute, little cabin for our family of 5. We only needed it overnight, as we were visiting friends on the lake for the day. Everything was made easy for us, and we appreciate that.”

β€œWe rented this cottage and another for a family wedding and this place was close to everything. It’s walking distance to coffee, breakfast, the beach and local nightlife. Good things- communal fire pit and private one for this cottage; Comfy king bed; water pressure; basic kitchen needs; crockpot; charcoal grills. There was plenty of room outside so we set up a blackstone to make breakfast to deliver to the wedding party . Other notes- The bathroom is inside the bedroom; more hooks and storage for personal belongings. Would be nice; There was an old dresser in the bedroom where shelves would be more practical. There was no shelf in the shower to put toiletries. The floor is painted concrete so I would recommend slippers or house shoes. There was no outlet in the loft for charging devices and the light didn’t work. The good points and location far out weigh what was lacking and justify a higher rating. I would definitely rent again and especially from this host. Thank you!”

β€œExcellent”

β€œPerfect size getaway for the two of us. Sage very quick with responses. Would definitely come back!”

β€œSuch a cute little place. Clean and exactly as advertised. Perfect for a weekend getaway. Very close to lake, and many different restaurants. Very walkable!”

β€œThis condo is perfection! It was perfect for my family. Everything was so clean and super convenient set up! 10/10 recommend!”

β€œVery nice))))”

β€œWe really enjoyed our stay. My wife and I were in town to meet our new nephew, and this provided a place for us to stay that was comfortable and quiet. We really enjoyed it, and will be looking to stay there again when we are in town to visit family.”

β€œThe place is just fantastic if you’re looking for peace and quiet and you want to get away from the big city life wherever you live this is the place to come and enjoy the country fresh vegetables, fruit dairy freshwater minutes away from Lake Michigan +10 sister Lakes walking distance to two of them. I can’t say enough Highly recommended. And budget friendly prices and the staff and team are fantastic.”

β€œgreat stay!”

β€œWow. What a cute and cozy place for an extended weekend. Host (Sage), was extremely responsive. Cottage was clean, tidy… loved it. The only thing I would recommend is to put curtains on the bedroom window. It was very bright early in the morning when the sun came up. Also. perhaps a shelf on the shower wall so that you don’t have to lean down to get your toiletries off the shower floor.”

β€œEasy access, check in progress and beautiful view”

β€œWe had a great weekend! Cozy little cabin equipped with all the basics of what you will need. Boat was very responsive and kind. Property is in a fantastic location! Would book again in the future!”

β€œThe place was very nice perfect for just two people. ”

β€œClean and great location.”

β€œIt is a great location for a weekend day. It has everything you can possibly need.. we will definitely stay there again. I recommend it to everyone. easy chicken easy check out hassle free. ”

β€œAdorable peaceful getaway place !”

β€œVery happy with accomodation and excellent customer service”

β€œThis cottage is so perfect for a sweet little getaway! It is cozy, close to beautiful lakes and scenery. It is just about a 20min drive from St. Joseph, with lots of cute spots on the way. ”

β€œWe typically rent in northern Michigan but found this wonderful cabin just a couple hours from our home in North-Central Illinois. Very clean, well kept and very reasonable rental in a cozy little town with a northern Michigan feel. Everything about this cabin was sooo cute! We can only hope that we get a shot at this rental next summer! Thank you Chris!”

β€œSmall unique place with a lot of charm. Enjoyed myself with my adult daughter alone time. Meet some lovely people's around the fire pit. Will be back soon.”

β€œCabin was small but surprisingly roomy and comfortable, with lake access and an easy walk to the ice cream shop.”

β€œWe arrived to the property at 10:45 pm. The code we were provided did not work to open the lock. It took us until 11:30 pm to contact the owner and get another code that would finally work to get us access to the property.”

β€œI was working in the area and sick of the hotel scene. Thoroughly enjoyed the Sister Lakes location. Even a couple good restaurants within 2 minutes. Would absolutely stay again!”

β€œCheck in was easy and the cabin was nice. It had the necessities for cooking and relaxing. It could us some blinds over the door window. The location was great for kayaking and sight seeing. A few restaurants are within walking distance and Lake Michigan is a short drive. We would stay here again but I’m not sure where I’d park our boat if we brought it.”

β€œThis quaint little cottage has everything I needed and was clean and cozy! I loved it, and now that my son leaves near by, I’ll stay here again!”
