The oasis!

House is fabulous, reminds me of a Frank Lloyd Wright house. Had a ball combing thru all the albums and cassettes. Love the patio on the back, saw so much wildlife just sitting there, peaceful and quiet. My fave was the screened room detached from the house but it needs a little work to keep possible critters out but it it very cool and unique! I would stay again. Slight disadvantage is hot tub is not close to house. Close to a lot of beaches, really nice beaches.

We loved this cozy house in the woods!!

The house is big and has a great layout for a family. The kids loved choosing the bigger rooms and as parents we were fine with that because we enjoyed the room with the attached bathroom and privacy across the house! We appreciated the alarm system so we knew when kids were coming and going more easily. There is plenty of space everywhere for any kind of fun you want to have. The kitchen is large and easy to move around in or find what you need. We enjoyed the creek in the back, the fire place, the hot tub, the pool table, and ate pizza every night from the local shop, Patellies! Thank you to Bob and Anne for a wonderful stay 💜

Perfect Weekend

We loved our stay at the Creek House. Check in was easy and host was very communicative! It felt tucked away but was so close to everything we wanted to do! 10 minutes from Four winds casino and Just 15 minutes from New Buffalo. kids loved the basketball hoop, pool table, and tennis court. Adults enjoyed the CD collection and the hot tub. We had a fabulous breakfast 5 min up the road and oaks eatery and another great brunch close by at Journeyman Distillery. We are already planning our return

Our Experience

There were a number of mouse traps around. The Jukebox would only play one song and then not work at all. We enjoyed the tennis court and creek. The music selection was excellent in the main room and the sleeping arrangements were good. We did enjoy the pool table. We took lots of walks and went to the small community that was only a mile away. One day we did drive over to the Lake and went on the Tree Tops walk. We liked the area very much and it was a good time for the family.

A lovely experience!

We so enjoyed our stay at the Creek House. We loved watching birds through the giant windows and sitting out on the deck, and there was plenty of space to spread out and relax. It was quiet and felt remote but was super close to restaurants, beaches, etc. We hope to be back again!

Peaceful Creek House

This was our first time booking through Vrbo. I have to say the experience went fairly well. The Creek House delivered all that it promised. It was a very peaceful and beautiful house. The Host was very thoughtful in making sure the kitchen had all that is needed to prepare a lovely meal. Just bring your groceries and enjoy cooking in the lovely kitchen. The bedrooms had all that you needed, including extra linens and towels. The office in the master bedroom had supplies for those who may be doing some work while on your getaway. The main bathroom had a deep jetted tub that was very relaxing and a great feature in this house. The beautiful views throughout the house give this home such a lovely feel. My daughter enjoyed bird watching from the living room's windows. The outside space was a great bonus to the Creek House. We sat outside in the evening and listened to the water and evening creatures. When we decided to stay in for the day, our children enjoyed their basketball and tennis court. We also enjoyed from the host's collection of board games, card games and pool table. There was a lot of bonding time that was easily created in this home. One of the main reasons I picked this house was because it is pet friendly. Our two fur buddies were welcomed to enjoy this getaway with us. They loved the outdoors just as much as we did. ALL & ALL. The Creek House and The Host have earned 5 Stars! We hope to be back next year.

Peaceful Getaway spot

What a lovely spot to relax and recharge! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the cottage. Our favorite spot was on the back deck. We watched the creek babble by while the birds came and went from the feeders. There were three chipmunks who come and eat the birdseed fallout. Chippy 1, Chippy 2 and Roger are their names if you meet them :) We loved the remoteness of the location and the peaceful surroundings. The house was clean and the bed was very comfortable. We appreciated the kitchen having everything you may need to cook. The pizza place in Three Oaks was amazing too! Our dog Sophie probably had the best time out of us all. Lots to sniff, chipmunks to befriend and dragonflies to try to chomp :) We will definitely stay here again!

Our Spring Break Getaway

We were looking for someplace to relax and get away and have a change of scenery. This place was just that. It was peaceful and quiet and allowed us to bring our two dogs. We did not expect the birdwatching we were able to do. It was awesome to see the variety of birds that came to the feeders. The kids even had a chance to play some tennis and we even got to do some hiking at Warren Dunes. The property manager, Anne, was always very responsive and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Plenty of space

We loved the setbacks from the road but being less than 5 minutes from everything we wanted: restaurants, grocery store, etc. Beautifully decorated and plenty of things to do onsite. Very pet friendly and not crazy priced helps make families feel whole, warm, and welcome. We had a great Thanksgiving and cooked it all onsite while enjoying the views.

Cozy house, beautiful property

This was a perfect cozy spot with good vibes to get away for a weekend. The wall of music was a ton of fun to explore, we loved the artwork and decor throughout the house, and the the fall colors were amazing on the trees all around the property. Would love to come back again in a different season and use the outdoor sleeping area. 10/10!

Cottage in the Woods

We had a short girl’s weekend at this property. Easy to find, plenty of room and tons of seating around the home…inside and out! Beach day was ruined because of an all day rain, but the detached screened in porch was the perfect spot to chat, read, listen to music and enjoy being surrounded by a heavily wooded area, a babbling brook and the soothing pater of rain all around us. Would be lovely in the winter with snow too!

Second time staying and we'll be back!

I love this house. It's truly a haven. There's so much to do (pool, games, music), but my favorite thing was to sit on the porch and watch the birds bathe in the water. Really really recommend this property for a romantic getaway or a fun few days with pals. Amazing communication with both the property manager and the owner is the cherry on top!

Perfect Vacation Getaway

This rental was perfect for our vacation with friends and family. Plenty of sleeping space, shared space, and outdoor spaces. The bed in the master bedroom was the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to cook all our meals. The hot tub was wonderful at the end of each day. The house is in a great location, close to the charming town of Three Oaks and close to beaches.

Perfect getaway

Three Oaks was a perfect getaway where you felt like you were in the middle of nowhere but really you were 7 miles from the Lake. The house is 1 mile from Three Oaks town proper if you needed anything. We brought all our groceries, because COVID, but had to go into town for a few things. We were relieved to see folks in masks. We truly enjoyed our stay at the house. We loved the open layout and the all window living room. We spent most of our time in there enjoying the high ceilings and watching the birds come to the feeder. The creek had fish swimming upstream. The house had a lot of different ways to entertain our group from the 4K music CDs to the pool table and jukebox. The kitchen was well equipped as I cooked three meals each day we were there. I think the only thing is that there is one shower and the larger bathroom has a bathtub with a shower wand. We didn't mind it, but some might be surprised. Overall, it felt like home and we can't wait to come back when it snows.

About the host

Hosted by Bob Miller

What makes this property unique

The privacy, peace and quiet this property offers are unparalleled. It is perfect for a family gathering; writers' retreat, restorative or romantic escape; or a fun-filled girlfriend getaway. Summers offer 3.5 acres of glorious outdoor space to explore as you sit/sleep in the Screen House and listen to the creek tumble by. Cooler temperatures bring cozy days with roaring fires and creative cooking adventures while you watch the birds at all the birdfeeders and the babbling creek at your feet--or stretch your legs surrounded by the colors of Fall or the quiet of winter.

Full access to property. Manager lives in a separate house up by the tennis court, 250 feet away from main house
