Sister Lake Cottages - Unit 2



The Space:

Welcome to Sister Lake Cottages!



Sister Lake Cottages are 7 cozy cottages located in Dowagiac, Michigan, and are perfect for water lovers! This listing is for unit 2. Big Crooked Lake and Little Crooked Lake are within 1 mile from the cottage and they are both all-sports lakes. They are nearly the same size - Little Crooked is 103 acres, Big Crooked 110 - their shape and the lay of the land leave BigCrooked with nearly twice as much shoreline.



Not only is this home conveniently located to tourist attractions but great restaurants as well. Take an evening stroll to the Sisters Lakes Brewing company of 14 microbrews produced by the owner's family or the Strand Brewery & Grill. Other dining and shopping are in Dowagiac and nearby towns. There are also public parks in the area as well as golf courses, wineries, breweries, theaters, shopping, and the Four Winds Casino in Dowagiac. The resort town of St. Joseph on Lake Michigan is only 20 minutes away. Looking for a little adventure outside of water sports. Check out the snowmobile trail that runs between Sister Lakes and Grand Rapids and a biking trail that runs between Sister Lakes and the airport in Dowagiac. The surrounding countryside is part of the Michigan fruit belt, with wineries and apple, strawberry, peach, and cherry farms with roadside stands or you-pick excursions.



The entire Sister Lake Cottage 2 is for your private use with an easy self-check-in process to accommodate various arrival times. There is a private entrance with your own access code that will function between your check-in and check-out times. Come back after a great day of exploring and enjoy access to a kitchen with a stovetop, toaster oven, microwave, refrigerator, and coffee maker as well as dishes and utensils. Sleeps 4 comfortably. Enjoy relaxing by the waterfront or bring some kayaks or water toys and enjoy full access to the lake. Guests will find the space to be warm, comfortable, and inviting and the hosts to be responsive and diligent to provide an excellent stay for each guest. Here for a quick visit, enjoy resting in this budget-friendly option with all the needed amenities for a shorter or lengthier stay.  This cottage also features a Gigabit Fiber-Optic Internet connection.



If you would like to use the grill during your stay please bring a fire starter and charcoal. Also please bring your own wood for the fire pit.

    I was never emailed the door code or the wifi password before my arrival. The cleaning lady let me in. The wifi sucks!! It stays on for about 5 minutes then goes off for 25 minutes. Anything with fabric stunk...I was gagging in there. Had to waste money on fabric spray just to breathe. Will not EVER stay there again! Would like some money back for my stinky stay there!!!!!

    It was okay. The bathroom toilet was not clean, the blinds were broken and the front door, which is all glass, had no shade or blind on it. Anyone outside could look in. As soon as you walked in, there were stairs that were very dangerous. They were about 6 from the front door.

    This was our 2nd year staying at the cabin. We had a few issues with plumbing working properly. It could have been cleaner. However for the price I really can't complain much. It's a nice location, the pier area is nice. We had great weather so we didn't have to stay in much. I'd go back next year. I hope it get the TLC it needs over the winter.Check-in procedure seemed a little harsh. I was 20 minutes early but told I must wait for the code!

    Property was basically just steps from the lake. Quaint 50’s style cottage. Small bedrooms , small living space. Cute but very dated. Was very difficult for my elderly parents to climb up the stairs to enter main living area with no rails to hold on to. Bathroom needed repairs. Notified host and brought to their attention the slipHazard in the tiled showed,and the broken bathroom sink. Overall we had a great time during our stay, but with it not being handicap friendly, I would hope that they modify their description so no one else is disappointed or has issues like we did

    The location had lovely views and a nice layout. Would have enjoyed a warmer setting in the winter months as it was chilly inside.

    Booked this cottage last minute and was pleased with the pricing and location. Cottage has more than enough amenities if needed and situated in a small cottage community between two lakes. Property and grounds were clean and quiet. Across the street, there is a coffee/ice cream shop and bar and grill and a few restaurants in walkable distance. About 25 minutes away from lake Michigan with plenty to do in between. Would definitely recommend
