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.
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!
Just what we needed after the stresses of planning our wedding. Thank you to my mom and dad for this wedding gift. The property was very clean and nice.
This was a wonderful little place to just unplug and get away. Very peaceful this time of year and the autumn colors were beautiful over the lake in the morning!
Matt was easy to talk to and was there if we needed anything…comfy beds…a little tough to park but cannot beat the lake view and the gorgeous sunsets.. cabin has a lot of character. Great place to just relax.
It was really nice. The home was really nice it was beautiful there. The house was amazing and I loved the lake front property.
The only thing I did not like it did not have cell service there and no internet
We had an amazing time, it was clean and just like advertised and Matt was very helpful and responsive. Gorgeous sunset

Perfectly sized
Came up for a family reunion. Price/size/location were perfect for our family and dog. Beautiful views. Was aware of lack of wifi but wish we would have known about minimal cell reception as well.
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.
Very quiet and peaceful! My husband, brother in law, and son went to relax, and spend some time fishing. They got to decompress, before my sons wedding .
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
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.
