Lovely Lakefront House Rental- Big Crooked Lake / Sister Lakes

Our Lovely Lake House is in an ideal location; overlooking 2 lakes. Out the kitchen door is the huge upper deck overlooking Big Crooked, which is your Lake Access only 40 feet away. Across the street is an Ice-Cream/ Souvenir Shop and a Wake Boarding Store. 1 Block away is a Restaurant, Roller Rink, miniature golf and Spa. 3 Blocks away is a Dollar Store, Gas Station, Restaurants, Bank, Boat Rental, Video Store and more. Downtown Dowagiac (newly renovated) is a captivating town with restaurants and shops. Worth an afternoon stroll to look around and shop. Farms and Fruit Stands all around. Don't forget to pick fresh fruit, Michigan's Best!!

This is truly a get-a-way back to nature. You will find plenty of ducks, geese, different types of birds and wildlife. Just don't bring any frogs home in a shoe box, please! We like to keep all creatures in their natural habitat.

Whether you like to enjoy relaxing with a morning cup of coffee watching the fish jump out of the water or watching the tranquility of the waves or just want the excitement of tubing, water skiing, fishing, fruit picking, sledding, snowmobiling, ice fishing or just simply watching the excitement of your child finding water creatures, this is the place for you.

Snowmobilers welcome! Because of being in the Snow Belt, winter brings great snow packed trails for Snowmobilers. Trails are marked.

Lovely lake house

We had a lovely stay on Big Crooked Lake. Easy communication with our hosts as well as kayak and paddle boat for our use. The house was a nice size for us and the kitchen well equipped.

Great time

This is a cute house in a great location on a Great Lake! My family and I had so much fun this week at this house. It’s very clean and well kept by the owners. I would defiantly stay here again! Thank you so much Chris! Please tell Veronica thank you as well!

Had a blast. Cute little house.

We had a great time. The house is small, but perfect for sleeping eating and spending all other time outdoors. There is no wifi, which wasn't too big of an issue but we had one person who needed to connect to do some homework. The bar and Driftwood are literally are across the street, and the Strand (a nicer restaurant with a huge beer garden) is about a blocks walk. Beach is nice and wide enough for kids to play. We also had access to use a small paddle boat and canoe. The only downside to the property is all of the glass. We had a small child, and always had to keep an eye out to make sure all of the glass tables, and curio cabinets weren't going to be accidently run into. We would stay again, but the glass was a major concern so it's something to consider if one has small children. Overall it was great and we would recommend 100%. The owners are right next door so if anything went wrong, they could be there.

Enjoyed the comfort of the home. My mom couldn't enjoy much due to so many stairs but that was great for the younger bunch. Within walking distance to several spots we enjoyed. Since we had family close by we were able to enjoy alot of time together on the deck & enjoyed the great weather. The owners made sure we had everything we needed. I appreciated their efforts to make our stay an enjoyable one. Thanks for all their understanding with our circumstances.

Great place!

We enjoyed our stay. Kids loved to swim out to the raft, play in the sand and they made good use of the kayak. Spacious deck. Well kept and clean cottage. Water pressure in the shower wasn't very good. It was a quiet and relaxing vacation, just what we were looking for!
