Check in was simple and easy. Door lock is a bit touchy to learn but they provide easy details. Place was well sorted. Only one shower was a bit of a challenge but what was there was nice. They thought of ALOT of nice little touches like laundry soap, ice, coffee, wine, and more you name it.

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.

Bachelor Party Vacation

The property was incredibly nice and outfitted with everything we needed for our stay. The cookware availability was a huge help so I didn't need to pack a kitchen and the barbecue was brand new (with charcoal and chimney provided)! This is a great stay for any trip to the Sister Lakes area.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Aldo & Sandra

Host profile image
We love vacationing in Sister Lakes because it’s the perfect getaway from the daily hustle and bustle. It’s a peaceful and quaint retreat that is still close to the various places and activities that make a vacation memorable.

Aldo/Sandra

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 (they offer lighthouse tours on Saturday’s; access lighthouse via Tiscornia park) or the Sarrett 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.
