Live & Love Life on the Lake at Sunset Cottage!

Plan your next getaway at our cozy 2 bedroom, 1 bath sunset cottage just footsteps from the shores of the South Twin Lake. Nestled deep in the quiet country setting of Howe, Indiana, it’s the perfect place to come if you’re looking to disconnect from the daily grind or spend some time with friends and family swimming, fishing or just relaxing.

Kickback in our sunroom with amazing waterfront views from every angle or lounge and unwind while watching the large flat screen TV in the living room. Internet is provided. The house is comfortably furnished and comes with an window a/c unit in the main living area and ceiling fans throughout the home to keep you cool in the warm months. With queen beds in each room and a sleeper sofa, the space sleeps up to 6 people. The kitchen comes fully loaded with basic kitchenware, dishes & silverware, a standard refrigerator & stove, as well as a microwave and coffee maker. Dine indoors at the kitchen table or al fresco on the porch. Enjoy brunch or grill up dinner overlooking the beautiful lake. The property also comes with 2 paddle boards included in the rental fee so you can cruise along the lake, or just relax on the shore and take in the incredible technicolored sunsets.

The Twin Lakes in Howe Indiana are considered to be some of the cleanest lakes in the entire state. This is a spring-fed, non-sport, private lake with no speed boats or jet-skis. While our lakeside cottage is remote, it’s only about 10 minutes from the 80-90 toll road. Shopping is conveniently located 15 minutes north in Sturgis, Michigan where you'll find a Walmart, Meijer, Walgreens, CVS, Dollar General and many restaurants.

Nice place and enjoyed our stay. My only recommendation is to turn the window unit on prior to guest arriving. It was ninety degrees outside and felt about the same inside the house. It took until the next morning to cool it down enough. Otherwise beautiful stay on the lake. Thank you.

The water is so blue! We love being able to go out and not have to worry about weeds. The cottage had everything we needed! If we did need to go get something down the road was Dollar General and we found extra stuff there!Krista was very responsive to anything going on or questions we had! We would totally stay here again!

The home was quite small but also had lots of furnishings that made it difficult for us to move around since we are seniors with mobility limitations. There are few places to use a walker. The sliding door to the porch was extremely heavy to operate as well as the heavy metal security bar. The gravel driveway made it hard to load and unload our vehicle. I also overlooked the fact that there was no dishwasher when I booked it. The property is definitely suited for a younger family.

We enjoyed our stay at Sunset Cottage very much. Sunsets were beautiful (see photo) and accommodations were great. Only issue we had was the coffee maker was not advertised as a Keurig. Minor setback was quickly resolved with a visit to the local Walmart .

We are repeat guests. It could have been cleaner, not sure they even wiped things down in the kitchen: table, countertops, fridge. Bathroom sink and tub didn’t look very clean and could feel crumbs/dirt on the floors when I walked. The grill flamed when we tried to cook fish so lots of grease… like the location

Great getaway for some down time!

This was our family's second time at Sunset Cottage. The lake is a "no wake" lake, in a quiet neighborhood, so it was very peaceful. Kayaks and paddle boards were made available, and we used them every day. Swimming was wonderful--the lake is very clear! There are an abundance of turtles on South Twin lake.Check in was a breeze. There is a Meijer and Wal Mart in Sturgis, MI, which is a short drive away, for when you need groceries/supplies. Sturgis also has a used book store (Lowry's), and LaGrange, IN, has Foltz Bakery for when you need doughnuts. The owner is very responsive. The cottage was clean when we checked in--I think she puts a lot of effort into running Sunset Cottage. 6 of us (2 adults, 2 teens, and 2 under 12) stayed comfortably in the cabin. I would not hesitate to book this cottage again. I highly recommend this property!

Stayed for a weekend and it was perfect! The rental has so much to do, paddle boards, kayaks, a paddle pontoon, and pontoon rental. The pontoon rental was amazing, it was dropped off to us and picked up. It was so peaceful. I cannot say enough good things of the service and response time of the owners. Would definitely stay again and would recommend to many!!

Delightful Stay

Host provided everything needed for a pleasant stay. House was clean, pretty, well-equipped, just feet from the lake. Beds were comfortable but one was really high off the floor. Porches were pleasant. I would recommend this place. Husband and I stayed for 3 days in Spring.

Little Place on the Lake

Small little house on the lake. The lake is beautiful. 2 small bedrooms. The bedrooms have newer floors. Good water pressure in shower. Most likely best used as a summer rental where what you want is a beautiful view of the lake.

Great Lake View

It is a little cottage right up against a lake. The beds and bedding were comfortable, and the kitchen was well supplied, including a starter of coffee pods. It could have been cleaner, but overall it was a good stay.
