The lake is beautiful. 2 small bedrooms. The bedrooms have newer floors. Good water pressure in shower.

(Ran the vacuum to clean up popcorn throughout, scrubbed down the dirty fridge and tables and counters. Swept the bedroom floors into piles of dirt.) Quite disappointed since most previous ratings gave positive comments on cleanliness. The lake view was perfect and the location awesome! Appreciated the fresh flower touch with a Happy Anniversary sign. This property has such potential, but needs a handyman’s touch to fix things. ##### Michele H.

I highly recommend Sunset Cottage! As late as I made the reservation I'm surprised it was still available in late July! My family and I wanted a lake vacation, and we were not disappointed! South Twin Lake is located just outside the small town of Howe, IN. It is a clean, clear, "no wake" lake. My family enjoyed swimming, kayaking (kayaks and paddleboards were provided!), and watching turtles in the lake. There was a floating raft for us to use, too. Check in was simple. The cabin was clean, the beds were comfy, we had satisfactory appliances to enjoy cooking for ourselves, and the porch was a gem! 6 of us (2 adults, 4 children) stayed comfortably. Sturgis, MI and Lagrange, IN are close by for shopping and/or dining. Contacting the host during our stay was easy, and the host was prompt in responding. Note: the pictures presented with this listing are accurate! It really is that nice, and that relaxing! The porch faces west so you will get sunsets over the lake! All family members agreed that they would like to stay here again! ##### Matthew M.
