Quiet and quaint

Had a great time at this property. It was exactly what we needed. The beds were really comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. There were a few too many cobwebs, but we're the camping type so it didn't bother us much.

Lake Cabin on Prairie Lake

Our cabin was very nice and cozy plus it came with a beautiful setting...lake front! The cabins nearby were nice as well with friendly visitors. My family and I enjoyed our stay and would recommend it.

The Little house....

Absolutely loved this property. The boat launch was super close, house was clean and cozy. The master bed was so comfy, was hard to get up in the morning! We did some fishing and caught some really nice bass and pike. We will definitely back!

Came up for a family reunion. Price/size/location were perfect for our family and dog. Beautiful views. Was aware of lack of wifi but wish we would have known about minimal cell reception as well.

Small family place with great views

Awesome lake view with beautiful sunsets. Secluded property that forces you off electronic devices (no WiFi) and we had great time playing board games. Excellent host that cares about people and your experience. Definitely worth the price.

GREAT place

It is a very cozy homey cottage. The host and his wife are very nice and accommodating. The beds are super comfortable and the sunsets are amazing. Have done a fishing vacation, at many different locations, for many years but this is by far the best place ever! The fishing wasn't great, but so far this year fishing isn't great any where, but the place was so nice that didn't even matter! Will definitely be back next year!!

Ice fishing weekend

The Cabin was great for our needs, we spent a weekend ice fishing on the lake. The cabin was a nice retreat to warm up with some soups for lunch and relax at night. It took us awhile to find the fish but ended up limiting out our second day. Thanks for the great weekend escape!

Tranquility

We were celebrating an anniversary. The weekend was very peaceful. The first night it rained and we put a puzzle together. Enjoyed a bonfire the second night. We loved watching the geese and the goslings. The king bed was fabulous and the cottage had my favorite pillow. Couldnt ask for a nicer place.

A nice option for visiting Duck Lake

For $1000/week I assumed it had WiFi, not the case. In addition, for the price it does not have a water softener system so the water coming out of any faucet smelled awful. Matt assured us the water was safe to drink however he was quick to bring us a Britta water filter. The deck furniture needed a lot of cleaning, we didn’t sit on any of it. My wife trimmed the bushes so we could park off the road a get out of our vehicle. The dock was covered in geese poop so we didn’t go on it. The location of the property was great for us as we were spending time and golfing with friends at Duck Lake. Matt was very accommodating for changing our checkin and checkout dates with no extra charges

About the host

Hosted by Matt Overweg

Host profile image
This is our Family's cabin that we are willing to share with you. I am a teacher and coach at a local school. This is a property that we use as well. Instead of it sitting empty when not in use we are opening it up for the public to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

The property is located close to Albion and Olivet Colleges for families coming from out of town. It is a comfy cozy family owned cottage that should be perfect for "a guys weekend of fishing" or for the annual "ladies get away." It would be perfect for a summer vacation for those who love water sports, fishing and relaxing. The cabin is lived in and used frequently, so you can feel comfortable with pets and kids. We don't cry over spilled milk and hope our guest will reciprocate with kindness and understanding if they find a few flaws during your stay. The owner lives only a few miles away and will go above and beyond to make sure you have what is necessary to make your stay enjoyable.
