Loved the private fire pit area, clean cottage

It was a good place to stay, clean and comfortable. There is a toaster oven but not a built in oven. It is tiny. We had a few issues but my son was able to figure out the solutions.

Lovely Stay

We had a great visit over the 4th of July weekend exploring Sister Lakes. The location of this cute place was a perfect fit for our family with everything needed, made more enjoyable with beautiful weather. It was our first trip to this area and the convenience of the location and helpfulness of the host will entice us to return.

Marriage getaway

This was the perfect spot to get away. My wife and I spend a weekend every year at a little cabin where we review our marriage and refocus. We always like to explore the area and Dowagiac was a gem of an area to go. Sage was our contact and he checked on us multiple times. We had one issue with our bed and he was not only prompt but he made sure to make it right. I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a quiet getaway.

Our 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.

I 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!
