We had a great stay! The single and only negative to having 2 families at this rental is the limited and small bathroom, but otherwise everything was perfect :)
This house was a great escape for a long weekend with the family. Everything was clean and the beds were comfortable. So many nice touches like many games for kids to enjoy!
We absolutely Loved staying at this Beautiful House! Owners leave lovely surprises and immediately help with anything. This place will have a special place in our hearts!
The house is not at the edge of round lake. There is no pier to walk out on. But a block away you can drive to a easy access on ground level to Round Lake and go kayaking. My son had his truck and we put kayaks in there. Our hosts have 6 kayaks and some had two seats. They also had several different sizes of life vests.Our hosts were gracious in answering our questions before, during and after our trip.The house was perfect for us because we had one family with 2 kids upstairs, our single son said the pull out couch in the living room had a nice mattress. (We own a mattress store and he works there.) My other son and wife with 18 month old had the King bed. We had the full size bed and the mattress was perfect. Our hosts had quite a few extra amenities that were provided that l had never experienced in a VRBO. We were so pleased and grateful for that. I mentioned a couple of things to our hosts that might need a few touch ups, but all minor. I would recommend this property if you don't have more than 10 people. The upstairs there is no dresser, but a very nice closet. So it is hard to use a pull out bed when you have luggage.
Property was clean and just as described. Owners were great to interact with and the check in and check out process was very easy and straight forward. We come each you for Thanksgiving with family and always enjoy our stay.
Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay over Thanksgiving. Was able to cook a small Thanksgiving for Grandma who came over from Kalamazoo. Hosts were very helpful.

We are glad you had a nice thanksgiving at the house; hope to have you back at the home in the future. Take care
Sandra and Aldo's place was wonderful! Very comfortable and relaxing. There were so many extra touches, like coffee, coffee syrups, games, kayaks, kids toys, etc. I absolutely would rent again. And they were great at communication, very friendly and accommodating!
We really enjoyed our stay at Sandra and Aldo’s home. It was very well decorated and close to all of our activities. They provided so many refreshments which was a real treat.
Thanks again for an amazing stay!

We are glad you had a great stat at the home and in the area. Hope you’ll visit again sometime in the future
The Hosts provided so many little extras (often the little things you don't think about when traveling) that made our stay so much more pleasant. Great little cottage to make family memories. Will definitely keep it in mind for a next trip to the area.

We are glad you had a great time with family in the area; we hope to host you all again in the future
The property was incredibly nice and outfitted with everything we needed for our stay. The cookware availability was a huge help so I didn't need to pack a kitchen and the barbecue was brand new (with charcoal and chimney provided)! This is a great stay for any trip to the Sister Lakes area.
Great Place! The house was one of the best stocked short-stay homes we’ve visited! Nice linens and towels, comfy beds, plenty of cooking supplies and lots of extras included like picnic supplies, grills, charcoal, beach items and treats for the kids and adults alike! Great location for accessing regional lakes and parks.
We had a great stay! Our hosts were very responsive and easy to work with. The property was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. They even had shampoo and conditioner!
Nice property in a quiet neighborhood. Good stay for our family. We loved the games and appreciated the water dispenser and multiple coffee makers. The kitchen drawers and cabinets needed vacuumed out. And I couldn't find pot holder but there were plenty of kitchen towels.
We love vacationing in Sister Lakes because it’s the perfect getaway from the daily hustle and bustle. It’s a peaceful and quaint retreat that is still close to the various places and activities that make a vacation memorable.
Aldo/Sandra
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with the property and the peaceful location near Round Lake. The home offers a getaway from the daily hustle and bustle; yet, there are lots of summer and winter activities in the area.
A trip exploring the local farms, breweries and restaurants is worth checking out. We highly recommend the Stand or the Sister Lakes Brewing Company. If you enjoy wine, there are several vineyards in the area as well, such as Karma Vista Vineyards and Winery and Contessa Wine Cellars. Must see attractions include the Silver Beach area and the lighthouse in Saint Joseph (they offer lighthouse tours on Saturday’s; access lighthouse via Tiscornia park) or the Sarrett Nature Center. A more reclusive beach area is located at Jean Klock Park in Benton Harbor. The Curious Kids' Museum and discovery zone offers a wonderful excursion for the little ones.
No matter what you are seeking to do on your vacation, the Sister Lakes area has lots to offer and will not disappoint you.
