We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Matt's cottage. There was a little dust and a little dog hair when we got there so it was perfect for us. It meant we could be comfortable and relax on vacation without worrying about tracking a little dirt inside. Matt was quick to respond to questions asked.

Beautiful place to stay. The cottage is right on the lake. Sunsets are incredible. We were so happy that we were allowed to bring our dogs along. Plenty of board and card games provided. Our host lives conveniently close by and was available for questions.

Well priced for an economical stay

The property is located in a very rural area on a lake. If you’re looking for quiet and solitude at a great price, this is your place. A little outdated, somewhat cluttered, but worth the price you pay.

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.

Great Weekend

Matt is a great host. Nice cottage with an up north feel. Kids loved the games, movies and playing by the lake. Colder temps so they couldn’t swim but just off the shore looks to be all sand.. Had a fire by the lake our second night. Definitely will return and do some fishing. Can’t beat the sunset off the lake whether your inside in the rocking chairs or sitting on the deck overlooking the lake. Great peaceful weekend!

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 retired teacher and coach from 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.
