Vandalia, Michigan
Warm, cozy, comfortable, nestled in the woods along the banks of Christiana Creek. A PERFECT place for a ROMANTIC escape in the heart of southwest Michigan. A modern cottage in a country setting. The bird feeder is kept full, the deer roam free, the creek runs year round, and the stars shine bright. Hygge atmosphere, like Winnie the Pooh says, “You don’t say it, you feel it.” You may even hear the coyotes howl.
Private but safe for the solo traveler as hosts are on property.
Creek Side Cottage is a destination spot to remember, a harbor or a haven, a stop or a station. She can be all.
Her wooded canopy will provide wildlife up close. The field across from the cottage may grace you with a new baby calf or you may see the Blue Heron walking down the creek. The sweep of deck or gazebo will allow for hours of outside lounging, games, and grilling.
Stop by our family owned store in 3-Rivers, and grab all you need to fix yourself a gourmet meal in our fully equipped kitchen. From steaks, to fresh brats, to smoked meat you should be able to find a favorite. Use the gas grill or for the true campers enjoy the camp fire.

The property was incredible but what made it better was having such a great host. The hosts were great. From fresh, homemade cinnamon rolls and friendly waves from the tractor to making sure we were able to access the property safely and with special accommodation. To say we will be back is an understatement... we will be back very soon and very often. The experience was fantastic on all accounts. Thank you again so much!
Great place to refresh from life's worries.
The cottage is lovely, immaculately clean, with so many thoughtful touches. The hosts have thought of everything their guests could possibly need, even leaving us delicious cinnamon rolls. We really enjoyed the location, nestled in a wooded area with a picturesque stream running beside the cottage. The only regret was the listing stated having a hot tub, which was incorrect. We stayed for my husband's 50th birthday, and a hot tub was his one request he asked me for when finding us a place to stay, so that was disappointing. However, the overall stay was wonderful and I would definitely recommend.
My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend away. Things were clean and there were many thoughtful touches!
Great little cozy cottage on a creek we went fit our weekend after our wedding and it was fantastic super cozy and trails and all woukd highy recommend to snyone who is looking to stay somewhere and feel good
A beautiful home on a semi-secluded, gorgeous property. Perfect for couples escaping busy parenthood. Home was immaculately clean. Very comfortable accommodations. The complimentary muffins and snacks were amazing. Thank you hosts for a wonderful stay.
Hubs and I stayed at Creekside Cottage the weekend of the Perseids Meteor Shower. What a delightful oasis off the beaten path! Quiet seclusion combined with picture perfect landscaping made us not want to leave. The stargazing at the cottage was wonderful and the proximity to Dr. Lawless Dark Sky Park made it the ideal location. Will definitely visit this little slice of Heaven again!
Incredibly relaxing and enjoyable stay. Even prettier in person than the pictures, small creek, easy trails, and bird feeders along with covered and screened-in gazabo just made it a wonderful visit. Really looking forward to ideally going back next year. Hosts were absolutely fantastic and super friendly and made the process extremely easy and simple.
Perfect creek side retreat tucked away down a peaceful country lane. Property was exactly as advertised. Clean and comfortable. Dawn was very responsive and genuinely kind. Loved the screened in gazebo, hammock and trails right off the backyard. Also recommend the hike to Big Rock in the property binder. Will definitely come again!!!
We had a wonderful time, and Dawn is fantastic. From the creek to the deer to the gazebo to the hiking trails, this place has everything you could ever want.
We had a terrific time at the cottage - found that it was even better than we could have hoped for the little getaway we needed. The hosts were very warm and helpful , and the cottage was well equipped and designed. There were a few bird feeders on the porch and the variety and numbers of visitors to them was amazing. We found the local area towns had everything we wanted the few times we went off the property. The location is quite serene and the amenities - the screen gazebo, fire pit , creek running along the side of the yard just perfect. We're already thinking of how soon we can get back : )
We can’t say enough wonderful things about our stay at Creekside Cottage. Everything was exactly as advertised- and then even better than expected. The secluded grounds were absolutely heavenly and provided the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway. The gazebo ended up being our favorite spot, both for enjoying morning coffee and the delicious dinners we were able to make during our stay. Definitely recommend checking out the local markets for produce and meats as well as cute home and gift items! We had no idea how much we would love watching the birds at the feeders but it was absolutely mesmerizing (especially the hummingbirds!) The cottage was cute, cozy and instantly welcoming …everything we needed and wanted in a vacation and a perfect respite. Dawn was so responsive and sweet, even leaving scrumptious cinnamon rolls at our arrival. We truly loved every minute of our time at the cottage and hope to be back again one day soon.
We were so pleasantly surprised by the beautiful setting of this property. Just so peaceful and serene. Wonderful accomodations. Super clean. The hosts supplied extra touches, like snacks and information on local things to do in the area. Loved the hiking trail and watching the birds at the feeders just outside the living room. Great communication from the host as well. Will definitely return.
My husband and I had an idyllic weekend getaway at this cottage. We were snowed in but didn’t mind at all. The woods were beautiful and the cottage was warm and inviting.
It was excactly the two of us needed to recharge and get ready for the daily grind. Very relaxing!
Plain and simple? We fell in love with this place. It was absolutely perfect for the two of us for a four night stay. It was quiet and peaceful. We were on the Go the whole time we were there due to family commitments- but we want to come back so we can just be still and enjoy. The sound of the creek running is so peaceful and relaxing. The personal touches that the owner put on the cabin rental were so great. Subtle Christmas Decorations, cookies left out for us, coffee and creamer at the ready- it was all just FANTASTIC. You absolutely cannot go wrong if you choose to stay here. We will be back! -From Richmond, VA
This is a great place to get away from it all for a bit. Dawn and Virg go the extra mile to make the place feel inviting and warm.
The Stutzmans have a really special property here. This cottage is perfect for a couples getaway to relax and enjoy each other and nature. The listing is perfectly accurate and the place is even cuter in person. Well worth the price and I'm sure we will be coming back in the future!
