We will be back

We stayed with 5 adults, 3 teens (15-16) and 4 littles (2-6) and had an amazing time. Board games, books and toys kept everyone busy. The kayaks were so much fun and right around the corner. The home was super clean and the owners thought of all the little things. Kitchen is well supplied, plenty of towels and the beds were very comfortable. The hosts were quick to respond to our questions and offered tons of things for us to do. We will stay here again.

Great Lake Getaway

The Hosts provided so many little extras (often the little things you don't think about when traveling) that made our stay so much more pleasant. Great little cottage to make family memories. Will definitely keep it in mind for a next trip to the area.

Thanksgiving stay by Round Lake.

Had an excellent stay over Thanksgiving weekend. Hosted Thanksgiving dinner with my mother. The cabin was clean, and the instructions were clear, simple and easy to follow. The location is very relaxing and surrounded by nature. This was our second time spending Thanksgiving in the cabin and would definitely stay here again.

Best Place

This place was our first ever VRBO and it was by far the absolute best experience we have ever had. They think of everything you need- they have amazing accommodations and room set up is great. Amazing communication and this is somewhere you could book today and only have to pack you clothes and essential Belongs and not have to worry on day one!!

Great spot

Nice home base for a local family reunion. The mattress in the front bedroom could have been firmer. But the kitchen was well stocked, everything was clean and it seemed like it could really accommodate a number of people with the bunk beds upstairs. Overall, a great experience. Would rent there again.

Beautiful lakeview

We enjoyed our stay. We were visiting Sister Lakes for a birthday. Everything you might need for your visit is supplied. The beds were comfortable, the rental was very clean and well located for our visit. Communication with the owner was excellent. Only drawback is that there is only one shower..I would recommend this rental to anyone.

Southwest Michigan vacation

Great Place! The house was one of the best stocked short-stay homes we’ve visited! Nice linens and towels, comfy beds, plenty of cooking supplies and lots of extras included like picnic supplies, grills, charcoal, beach items and treats for the kids and adults alike! Great location for accessing regional lakes and parks.

Lovely Family Getaway

Sandra and Aldo went above and beyond to make my family getaway to Sister's Lake a pleasant stay. The house was stocked with everything you need! We enjoyed grilling out, playing games, using the kayaks making fires and s'mores and creating lots of memories. The top floor was perfect for the four tweens who went. I would highly recommend staying here!

Stay

I was a good times at the house. Bathroom was little short and only one bathroom in house so it was little crowded but otherwise everything was fine. An umbrella on the table on the deck would help to sit longer in sun. Otherwise, Host had provided everything possible so appreciate that. Overall had a great experience.

We love vacationing in Sister Lakes because of the location and close proximity to Saint Joseph, South Haven, Chicago, etc...

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the property and the peaceful location near Round Lake. The home offers a getaway from the daily hustle and bustle; yet, there are lots of summer and winter activities in the area.

A trip exploring the local farms, breweries and restaurants is worth checking out. We highly recommend the Stand or the Sister Lakes Brewing Company. If you enjoy wine, there are several vineyards in the area as well, such as Karma Vista Vineyards and Winery and Contessa Wine Cellars. Must see attractions include the Silver Beach area and the lighthouse in Saint Joseph or the Sarett Nature Center. A more reclusive beach area is located at Jean Klock Park in Benton Harbor.
The Curious Kids' Museum and discovery zone offers a wonderful excursion for the little ones.

No matter what you are seeking to do on your vacation, the Sister Lakes area has lots to offer and will not disappoint you.
