A PERFECT place for a ROMANTIC escape in the heart of southwest Michigan. A modern cottage in a country setting. The bird feeder is kept full, the deer roam free, the creek runs year round, and the stars shine bright. Hygge atmosphere, like Winnie the Pooh says, “You don’t say it, you feel it.” You may even hear the coyotes howl.
Private but safe for the solo traveler as hosts are close.

Her wooded canopy will provide wildlife up close. The field across from the cottage may grace you with a new baby calf or you may see the Blue Heron walking down the creek. The sweep of deck or gazebo will allow for hours of outside lounging, games, and grilling.

Stop by our family owned store in 3-Rivers, and grab all you need to fix yourself a gourmet meal in our fully equipped kitchen. From steaks, to fresh brats, to smoked meat you should be able to find a favorite. Use the gas grill or for the true campers enjoy the camp fire.

Enjoy fishing or water sports on local Diamond or Donnell Lakes located within a few minutes of our cottage. 45 minutes from Amish country Shipshewana and Notre Dame Stadium. Visit our family owned Bullseye Market Place just 20 minutes away.
45 minutes to St. Julian Winery in Paw Paw and White Pine Winery in St. Joseph.
1 hour from some really nice beaches on Lake Michigan.

We are in the country so the farm lane can be muddy at times. Also there are bugs and mosquitoes in seasons.

If the cottage is booked for the dates you are wanting check out The Bungalow or The Grain Binn on the same property.
