About this property

Happiness is a good book, a dog by your side, and a dock on the lake

  • Relax in this 2-bedroom house in Sister Lakes area. The primary bedroom features a king bed & a full bed in guest room. Queen sofa sleeper pulls out in living room. 1.5 bathrooms and laundry. Kitchen is well-equipped with stove, microwave, dishwasher, full-sized fridge and KCup coffee pot. The space stays comfortable year-round with heat & air. Whether you’re unwinding after a day of exploring, kayaking, boating, reading or playing games, this peaceful home provides a soothing retreat. Enjoy all that Sister Lakes has to offer when you stay at our place. Activities are aplenty in the area with wineries, breweries, seasonal apple/pumpkin picking, golf, great restaurants, casinos and even a children’s museum. Chicago - less than 2 hours away, South Haven 36 minutes away, Notre Dame 36 minutes away, Detroit less than 3 hours. Come explore Pure Michigan on a quiet, spring-fed lake. This home uses a natural well water system. It is fully tested and safe, but it does carry a noticeable mineral/sulfur odor when running the taps.

    The Scent: Don't worry—the smell does not stick to your skin, clothes, or dishes after washing!

    For the best coffee experience- I would recommend bottled water for the Keurig.
