About this property
Cozy Quiet at Mill Pond Cottage
Peaceful cottage nestled on historic Mill Pond, the secret of the locals for great fishing and small-town lake life. The Cottage is inlet side of a no-wake lake. Take a paddle board/boat ride through the lily pad path to beautiful open water with excellent fishing and relaxing. Gather on our dock around the grill or fire table or make s'mores around the fire-pit. Swing in our hammock and listen to the frogs or go and see all the region of the Great Lakes has to offer right out your doorstep.
We are located on Mill Pond in pretty little historic Dowagiac. A local no-wake lake, Mill Pond is a favorite local fishing/swimming hole. Although we are on the inlet side of the lake. You can take the lovely lily pad path to the open water in the summer to enjoy the tranquility. Enjoy fishing from our dock and fully enclosed back yard. We provide a hammock, grill, firepit, and fire table. We also have a paddle boat and paddle board for you to use at your own risk, but you are welcome to bring your own kayak/canoe. The cottage is located on a dead-end road and we really love our neighbors so please be respectful that this is a local area. No loud music, parties, fireworks, or events. We are close to everything the great lakes region has to offer, including wineries, breweries, the great outdoors, dining, and much more. But if you are looking for a quiet little getaway nestled into luxury with our 100% linen sheets, beautiful decor, and custom locally roasted coffee, we might be the place you never leave. Just minutes from a lovely little golf course, Southwest Michigan College, and downtown Dowagiac we have the best of all worlds. Welcome home!!
