About this property

Warm, cozy, comfortable, nestled in the woods along the banks of Christiana Creek. A PERFECT place for a ROMANTIC escape in the heart of southwest Michigan. A modern cottage in a country setting. The bird feeder is kept full, the deer roam free, the creek runs year round, and the stars shine bright. Hygge atmosphere, like Winnie the Pooh says, “You don’t say it, you feel it.” You may even hear the coyotes howl.
Private but safe for the solo traveler as hosts are on property.

Creek Side Cottage is a destination spot to remember, a harbor or a haven, a stop or a station. She can be all.

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.

There is space to park your boat for use on the local lakes. Enjoy fishing or water sports on local Diamond or Donnell Lakes located within a few minutes of our cottage. 45 minutes from Amish country Shipshewana and Notre Dame Stadium. Visit our family owned Bullseye Market Place just 15 minutes away.
45 minutes to St. Julian Winery in Paw Paw and White Pine Winery in St. Joseph.
1 hour from some really nice beaches on Lake Michigan.

Farm lane can be a mess with the spring rains, thawing and freezing, and the construction going on with the Grain Bin Inn.

If the cottage is booked for the dates you are wanting check out The Bungalow or The Grain Binn on the same property.

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!

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.

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.

We are Virgil and Dawn Stutzman,

Moved to this beautiful state of Michigan some 20 years ago.

We love entertaining, taking long walks, cooking, baking, traveling, and spending time with our family.

We have years of experience running a Bed and Breakfast, a dairy, and owning and operating our own bakery and restaurant.

Last and definitely not least we have raised eleven very amazing children, all of whom are married and have amazing spouses. They have blessed us with 42 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.

Our lives are rich and we thank God for all the blessings we enjoy.

We would love to share our lives with you through this little slice of tranquility here at
Creek Side Cottage.

Why they chose this property

It really is lovely in every season. We think you will agree after spending time here.

What makes this property unique

If you really need a quiet place to get away from it all.
You will enjoy this cottage. You don't have to see anyone if you don't want
to. Such a good place to connect with nature and each other.
It's beautiful, but depending on the season you may experience mosquitoes, bugs, other creeping critters. You also may hear farm noises as this is a working farm.
All in all we try to keep it peaceful and quiet.
