Private but safe for the solo traveler as hosts are close.
Close to Amish Shipshewana, Lake Michigan, and Wine Country.

Her wooded canopy will provide wildlife up close. The field across from the cottage may grace you with a new baby calf or you may see the Blue Heron walking down the creek. The sweep of deck or gazebo will allow for hours of outside lounging, games, and grilling.

Stop by our family owned store in 3-Rivers, and grab all you need to fix yourself a gourmet meal in our fully equipped kitchen. From steaks, to fresh brats, to smoked meat you should be able to find a favorite. Use the gas grill or for the true campers enjoy the camp fire.

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.

Restorative Joyful

We had a wonderful time during our stay at the Creekside Cabin. The land is beautiful, the property is well-maintained, and it has all you need. We saw over 30 bird species, had a close encounter with a Blue Heron near the hot tub, and enjoyed the little frogs playing in the creek. We also enjoyed a hike at Dr. TK Lawless Park, a short drive away. We hope to come back again soon.
