Sister Lake Cottages - Unit 6



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 6. 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 Big Crooked 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 6 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.

    Cute cottage in a lake vacation spot. Great biking in the area. Lake amenities are nice and bar scene is great.

    We enjoyed the fishing but the pier is narrow. Canoes/ kayak available we didn't use. Grills nice, no stove inside only microwave and stove top. Take food to cook as stores and restaurants are far, close early, or not easy to spot for visitors. The only issue we had was we were unable to watch Tv in separate rooms because the remote controlled both TVs. It was not a big deal. Otherwise, very relaxing but two days went so fast.

    Cute cabin, fully updated, dishes and linens provided, even pods for coffee maker. Only issues; next cabin renters blocked our parking, no lake views from cabins.

    This cottage was as advertised. Small but perfect for 2 people. While not located on the water it was within walking distance of 3 of the lakes. Also, walking distance to an ice cream shop, bar/ restaurant and a brewery. Comes with access to a dock. We also enjoyed the fire pit one night.

    The cottage was just as described. Clean and quiet. Rental of kayaks and/or canoe is a plus. Cottage is right down the street for Dan’s Dockside bar and grill and Driftwood. Will come again.

    We had a very pleasant stay. For the most part we were very happy and content with this cottage. There were a few small glitches that keeps me from giving our stay 5 stars. When we arrived the code for the door did not work. After contacting the host, we found that the battery was dead and needed to be changed. There was a person on the property and we were able to get this fixed. We had to go out and buy a few things that I felt should have been provided. There was a subtle odor in the cottage when we walked in and not sure if it was cigarette smoke. The bed was very comfortable and the furnishings were adequate. There was plenty of coffee for the Keurig and the refrigerator was nice and cold. The grounds were immaculate and well tended. We enjoyed having a picnic table and chairs on the patio to enjoy the nice weather. Internet reception was good. We did find a couple of yellowjackets in the cottage and I was concerned since I am allergic to them. We did not see any obvious nests around the building. We would definitely consider staying here again.

    The cabin was super cute and very clean. Checkin was super easy. Great communication with the host. They even had a gallon of water for us in the fridge and some bottles bedside on the nightstand which was such a nice extra touch. We had some friends staying in a few of the other cabins. It’s a great place to go with friends and all be together, but still have your own private space. Loved it! Will definitely consider renting again.
