Vacation rentals with lake access in Van Buren County

Caitlin’s home is beautiful and the view is breathtaking! The pictures are very accurate but it’s way prettier in person. A must see! The area is so peaceful and the locals are very friendly. Just overall one of the best places we have ever stayed. We will 100% stay again. ❤️

The views stunning, enjoyed the sunsets. Weather was perfect to enjoy the patio and a little bird watching( abundance of woodpeckers and spotted a couple of eagles). The house had everything we needed. The kitchen well equipped as we cooked nightly. We also enjoyed the town of Smithville which has nice boutiques, antiques and coffe shop. Nice tranquil property.

Stayed here for almost 6 weeks with my wife and dog during a clinical rotation as a PA student, and it was wonderful! The neighborhood is peaceful, quiet, and secluded, and the lake is very tranquil. Great neighborhood for running if you are into that as well. Amy was very responsive and friendly, and worked to resolve a couple minor issues (no hot water, doorknob broken) as fast as she possibly could! Overall great place to stay.

Beautiful home with a view to match on a tranquil lake. Was a relaxing long weekend and would highly recommend. Would definitely book with Mickey again.

If you are looking for beautiful views in a peaceful area, this cabin is your spot! We absolutely loved our stay and would recommend this house to everyone. We felt very much at home as it had everything we needed during our stay. The swim spa was an added bonus but the hot tub was our favorite overlooking the lake. Jessica was a responsive and wonderful host! Can’t wait to go back when it’s warmer so we can float in the lake.

The place was perfect. I was the second guest to stay so everything is brand new. The deck overlooking the lake is perfectly positioned for a good sunrise. The first floor recreational room comes with a dart board, ping pong table, smart TV and hot tub. The roll up garage door lifts for a view of the lake. There are 3 smart TVs. It is a close drive to national parks. The floor plan was well thought out for the views. You will climb a staircase to reach a great view in the trees. Modern clean design.

Beautiful view of the lake. Peaceful and comfortable. You have everything you need in a home away from home! Fast response from our host. Would stay here again.

Great place! Very clean. I would definitely consider staying again if we vacation in the same area. We appreciated having two common rooms for our extended family to stay together, nice bedrooms and extra sleeping spaces in basement common room, and good # of bathrooms. The deck was a nice place to sit/rock and enjoy the peaceful winter days (when warm enough). Basement (2 bedrooms and baths + a common space) was cold but mostly taken care of by quality space heaters. We liked being able to walk to the small marina and through the campground loops. Extremely quiet area during our winter holiday visit. I imagine there is more action in the summer (lake) months. Thanks for a quality stay!

Good location on a pretty lake. Plenty of room in a nice cabin. Would higly recommend!

Great place to stay in Dayton. Walk to restaurants. My son attends Bryan College great place for us to stay and have family time. Brittany is great to work with.

We decided to stay here last minute and it was very peaceful and quiet. Jo Lynn was very nice and responded quickly with concerns we had. Everything was super clean and very well written instructions to follow to get to the cabin. We loved staying here and definitely will be back!

Beautiful and peaceful stay on a private lake, the paddle boat was an awesome addition. House was well stocked with everything you'd need, decent internet connection given the location. Would highly recommend!

This cottage is the perfect “getaway” cottage! So cozy and peaceful, especially the front porch in the morning with coffee and the evenings with a cocktail . Very convenient to Smithville but even more so to the marina. My favorite thing (among others) was the well equipped kitchen! Perfect for those who like to cook! Loved all the parking for cars and our boat. Finally, it was truly a pleasure working out details etc with Nicole. She’s the best and left no stone unturned to insure our stay was fabulous. We highly recommend this cottage and Nicole and look forward to renting again one day!

The house was just perfect for my husband and I to get away from it all. Follow her instructions on getting to the house as google maps and our car GPS were not accurate. Communication was great and she even offered us access to the basement during a storm warning. The bed is super comfortable. The setting is great and was super quiet. We enjoyed hiking the state parks in the area and had a great meal at a local pizza place in Sparta on our way back from hiking.

Loved every minute of our getaway to Sparta. The place had a wonderful “at home” feel. Would love to book here again next time we come back to Sparta. Advija was a wonderful host!

This was our second stay at Lakewood Cottage. The lake house is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for our stay. We spent our mornings drinking coffee on the dock and enjoying the beautiful lake view. It was the perfect, relaxing weekend that we needed. Allison and Chad are great hosts and we’re so glad they share their beautiful lake house.
