This little home on the lake is absolutely perfect for a getaway. I set my computer up in the sunroom and worked with a view of the lake all week. We loved our stay. We brought both of our pups and they loved the long walks as well. This is a perfect home and you’re close to everything. Make sure you have dinner at the Timberline Inn

We had such a great anniversary weekend! The house was cozy and relaxing, and we loved spending time by the water, having fires, and exploring the area. Our dogs especially loved the water! The host was super communicative and organized, and provided all the information ahead of time, which made everything so easy. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back!

Response from VrboOwner on 11 June 2026
Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry there was any confusion regarding checkout expectations. I will be reviewing my guest communications to ensure everything is clear and consistent. My intention is simply to ask guests, if they are willing, to start a load of towels/bedding before departure to help with turnovers so the home is ready for arriving guests. Guests are not expected to wash, dry, fold, or put away laundry. Thanks again for the feedback! I appreciate you bringing this to my attention, as it gives me the opportunity to make any necessary clarifications for future guests.

The hostess went above and beyond in providing extras such as shampoo, soap, cream rinse, toilet paper, beach towels, etc. She also provided notes around the house which helped. The many charging stations around the house was unusual for rentals. We truly enjoyed the house, the pontoon, and being right on the water. Excellent vacation home.

Thanks for the kind words, your family was a delight to host. As for the chargers, I stayed at someone else's property and they had the power towers and varied sized charger cords by each bed and I loved it, therefore I brought the love to my guests. I'm glad you liked the house, boat and especially being on the water - it's my favorite thing too! Cheers!

Perfect family getaway! Especially if you rent the pontoon. The home is very roomy but still cozy. Very well stocked and can’t think of anything you’d have to bring. Beds very comfortable and kitchen and outside grill made meals at home easy. Games, books and smart TV great for recreation. Outside patio and sun room provide even more spots to relax. The neighborhood is safe and very quiet. We loved our trip to the Sister Lakes and would definitely stay again. Day trips to St. Joseph, South Haven and wineries balanced the fishing/ swimming/boat activities. If you’re looking for a Midwest getaway for the whole family, this is it! Thank you Lori for sharing your wonderful home!

Lovely stay at the Huckleberry House!

My family rented the Huckleberry house for 4 nights and we had an amazing time! Lori is a wonderful host, the area is cute with plenty of restaurants and the house was perfect for our family! We drove to Silver Beach on Lake Michigan which wasn’t too far and enjoyed Dewey lake. Thank you for a great stay!

Amazing stay! Beds are extremely comfortable, overall place is cute, homey, and clean. Love that it is dog friendly! We had such a wonderful time. Only hang up was Dowagiac does not have many dog-friendly restaurants and places. So we had to travel 20-30min to go to dog friendly restaurants. Besides that, our stay here was wonderful!

We loved our stay in the house along with the use of the boat. We made a lot of friends at the sandbar, aka the island. Loved the restaurants and breweries. We brought our bikes and loved biking around on the quiet roads. Can't wait to stay here again.
