Great Weekend

Matt is a great host. Nice cottage with an up north feel. Kids loved the games, movies and playing by the lake. Colder temps so they couldn’t swim but just off the shore looks to be all sand.. Had a fire by the lake our second night. Definitely will return and do some fishing. Can’t beat the sunset off the lake whether your inside in the rocking chairs or sitting on the deck overlooking the lake. Great peaceful weekend!

Our cabin was very nice and cozy plus it came with a beautiful setting...lake front! The cabins nearby were nice as well with friendly visitors. My family and I enjoyed our stay and would recommend it.

The Little house....

Absolutely loved this property. The boat launch was super close, house was clean and cozy. The master bed was so comfy, was hard to get up in the morning! We did some fishing and caught some really nice bass and pike. We will definitely back!

Small family place with great views

Awesome lake view with beautiful sunsets. Secluded property that forces you off electronic devices (no WiFi) and we had great time playing board games. Excellent host that cares about people and your experience. Definitely worth the price.

GREAT place

It is a very cozy homey cottage. The host and his wife are very nice and accommodating. The beds are super comfortable and the sunsets are amazing. Have done a fishing vacation, at many different locations, for many years but this is by far the best place ever! The fishing wasn't great, but so far this year fishing isn't great any where, but the place was so nice that didn't even matter! Will definitely be back next year!!

About the host

Hosted by Matt Overweg

Host profile image
This is our Family's cabin that we are willing to share with you. I am a teacher and coach at a local school. This is a property that we use as well. Instead of it sitting empty when not in use we are opening it up for the public to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

The property is located close to Albion and Olivet Colleges for families coming from out of town. It is a comfy cozy family owned cottage that should be perfect for "a guys weekend of fishing" or for the annual "ladies get away." It would be perfect for a summer vacation for those who love water sports, fishing and relaxing. The cabin is lived in and used frequently, so you can feel comfortable with pets and kids. We don't cry over spilled milk and hope our guest will reciprocate with kindness and understanding if they find a few flaws during your stay. The owner lives only a few miles away and will go above and beyond to make sure you have what is necessary to make your stay enjoyable.
