We had a wonderful weekend get away. Lake Michigan Warren Dunes were a little over an hour away to start our vacation. A trip to Shipshewana where we took in a play and interesting shops was another nice side trip. A wonderful dinner at River Lake Inn in Colon, MI with a delightful walk through their gardens was another side trip. Each day we were welcomed back by the clean and relaxing setting at the Sturgis cabin on the lake with soothing hot tub. There was shopping at Meijer nearby and local eateries. Would definitely come back.

Location was perfect. On deadend road with less than a dozen houses, so was very quiet and not a lot of traffic. Lakefront property was serene and lake was calm. We had 2 swans visit us several times each day. We did not fish but used the dock to access the 2 kayaks daily. Life jackets and paddles/oars available dockside. The hot tub was relaxing and the perfect temp even though all the jets/functions weren't working-but we were made aware of it's limitations prior to check in. Unit/apartment was clean. Easy check in process.
