Myself, my husband, our daughter and my sister in law went for the Bewitching Peddlers Art show in Marshall. We chose Matt's house so we could make a tiny vacation out of it. The lake was so calming and wonderful, the house was abundant with rustic charm, and Matt could not have been a more wonderful host. We could have happily stayed forever, but work was waiting.This cottage reminded me of the cottage that I spent many summers in with my family when I was a kid. I have not felt that relaxed in far too long, and it was just amazing. We will definitely come back! Thank you Matt, for some beautiful relaxation and being so great! We did not want to leave!

This was a very cute and cozy place with a great view of the water and nature. It was exactly as described in the pictures and me and my boyfriend were very satisfied with our stay. Depending on your phone company you may not have service but there are plenty of games and a tv to keep you occupied.

This was the most pet friendly place we have stayed. The host was prompt with questions and advise of places to eat and purchase items needed. The window AC units were a little noisy but keep kept the place cool had to shut the bedroom unit off to sleep. We would definitely stay here again and the area is nice enough to plan a trip just to visit the area again and stay here. Very pleased with our stay.

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 retired teacher and coach from 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.
