    A PERFECT place for a ROMANTIC escape in the heart of southwest Michigan. A modern cottage in a country setting.

The house was amazing and exactly what we were hoping for. It's hard to beat having a hot tub right off the bedroom and a secluded little piece of heaven all to ourselves. We enjoyed relaxing by the fire pit in the evenings, and the bird watching was an unexpected highlight the hummingbirds were incredibly active throughout our stay.Peaceful, private, and a great place to unplug. We'd happily stay here again.

This is a perfect peaceful cottage hidden in the trees beside a stream. It is visited by many birds, has a fire pit and outdoor screened in gazebo with a table and chairs inside. Inside is everything you'd need for a stay away from home. We ordered the breakfast which was just right for two adults for two mornings. The cinnamon rolls were delicious. We enjoyed local hiking, restaurants and looking out the window at the birds. Wonderful way to relax and decompress. We enjoyed our stay.

The host was incredibly kind, responsive, and genuinely helpful from start to finish. The space itself was absolutely adorable, cozy, and spotless, you can tell a lot of care went into every detail. Everything felt thoughtfully put together and welcoming the moment we arrived. The bed deserves its own shoutout, it was unbelievably soft and comfortable, truly one of the best nights of sleep I’ve had while traveling. Overall, a wonderful stay and a place I would happily book again and recommend to anyone.

I wish I could rate this higher than 5 stars! I’m sad our trip wasn’t longer to enjoy this cottage a bit more. We will definitely be back! The house was cute, cozy, private, had all the essentials you needed and more. It was clean, and had so many comfy blankets around which I always appreciate. The hot tub was great, and easy to use. The hosts are super responsive and accommodating. We can’t wait to be back and possibly try one of their other properties! Highly recommend visiting their family store- bullseye market, we loved it! :)

This is our 2nd time visiting the Creekside Cabin and Bungalow while visiting family nearby. Dawn has created an atmosphere of welcome and comfort.Set in a location of outdoor beauty with a running stream, here is a place we woke to birdsong and homemade cinnamon rolls. Beautifully decorated, it has everything needed for a relaxing stay. We will be back.

A cozy quiet sanctuary!

Hubs and I stayed at Creekside Cottage the weekend of the Perseids Meteor Shower. What a delightful oasis off the beaten path! Quiet seclusion combined with picture perfect landscaping made us not want to leave. The stargazing at the cottage was wonderful and the proximity to Dr. Lawless Dark Sky Park made it the ideal location. Will definitely visit this little slice of Heaven again!

Heavenly

This quaint cottage was the perfect place for my solo retreat. I spent hours enjoying the birds (at least 21 species!) and reading in the screened gazebo. The trail on the property was lovely and I took a beautiful hike at Lawless County Park--just 5 minutes from the cottage. The owners were so accommodating and friendly. This is one of the best places I have rented! I plan to return.

We have stayed in the Bungalow on two previous occasions

This was our 2yr anniversary of dating. On our 6M anniversary we stayed there for the first time. The hosts are so Friendly and have thought of everything when they furnished all three of there cottages. Class A Couple. I'm sure we will make time to come back again in the summer when we can spend more time exploring the property.

Perfect Little Getaway

This was possibly the nicest VRBO we have stayed in. The owner's attention to detail was top notch, the perfect home away from home. If you're wanting a quiet retreat, this is the perfect place. The only reason I did not give 5 stars for location is that it is a bit remote, so if you're looking for a lot of activities, it is definitely small town. For us, it was perfection. Loved the local restaurants and the location of Swiss Valley skiing. Be sure to check out The Friendly Bar & Grill and Wakey Jakes! We will definitely be coming back.

April Getaway

Totally Awesome! Place was impressive, secluded and private. Exceeded expectations by a bunch. If I could give 6 stars, I would. This hideaway had everything to make our stay perfect. Dawn had us setup with fresh cinnamon rolls to enjoy from the get go. There is a fire pit , a gazebo with table , grill and trails to follow. The bird feeder was so entertaining from many different birds and the cutest chipmunks. We are hoping to return soon. A great getaway!

Special Place

The cottage is lovely, immaculately clean, with so many thoughtful touches. The hosts have thought of everything their guests could possibly need, even leaving us delicious cinnamon rolls. We really enjoyed the location, nestled in a wooded area with a picturesque stream running beside the cottage. The only regret was the listing stated having a hot tub, which was incorrect. We stayed for my husband's 50th birthday, and a hot tub was his one request he asked me for when finding us a place to stay, so that was disappointing. However, the overall stay was wonderful and I would definitely recommend.

This cozy little cottage was perfect! My boyfriend and I stayed here for a weekend anniversary getaway (I surprised him, he said it was perfect). SW Michigan in the winter is so beautiful. From the moment we stepped in, we were amazed. It was so clean, bright and warm, tastefully furnished, and full of everything we could have needed. We immediately started birdwatching, sitting on the couch looking out the sliding doors at the bird feeder. There was even a Birds of Michigan book in the cottage, so we were able to identify the ones we didn't know. The sunset across the field was breathtaking. The property is gorgeous, I was so happy the creek wasn't frozen over, we could hear a tiny waterfall under the bridge a short distance up stream. The hot tub was clean and very easy to use, looking at the stars while having a soak was lovely. The property was very easy to find, and Vandalia is close to many cute small towns, has nice lakes, and a dark sky preserve, about 30 minutes to Elkhart, IN. The cherry on top were the homemade cinnamon buns, they were the best I've ever had! Before we left we explored the trail, even with snow it was very enjoyable. Thank you so much to our wonderful hosts, we'd love to come back :)
