About this house rental
Summerwind is a gorgeous and quiet home nestled on Cable lake in Sister Lakes Michigan. Cable Lake is framed beautifully by this inviting updated ranch. Large windows let natural light and the views of the lake pour into the main living area. The new deck, accessed by French doors adds outdoor living space, and the open concept of the home allows for lake views from the kitchen, dining and living areas. The lower level walkout opens to a beautifully landscaped lawn that slopes gently to the sandy bottom lake.
Summer Wind is located on 90 acre Cable Lake, which is a private non-motor lake in Sister Lakes, MI. This quiet, clean lake is perfect for stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, paddle boating, sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, and swimming. The fishing is outstanding. There are 6 other lakes all within minutes which provide a variety of environments. Most are motor lakes and boat rentals are available through local vendors.

We really enjoyed our week at the Summerwind cottage. There was plenty of space for our large family of 7 adults and 3 children. The lower level was great for the older kids who also enjoyed swimming and fishing on the property. Everyone enjoyed the kayaks and beachfront fire pit.
Frank was very responsive when there was a problem with the internet and had a repair technician out first thing Monday morning.
We'd definitely stay here again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We didn’t realize when booking that Cable Lake is a no motor lake, but it was great, so peaceful. Made full use of kayaks on property. Big deck, open main floor, plenty of beds and baths for our group of 9. Biggest complaint would be not enough plates and silverware. Best to bring paper/plastic.

We have been renting the same home for years. Very happy to be able to continue to come back to the same home and see consistent improvements. Highly recommend other folks looking at properties in the area to look at this if it fits your needs.

Excellent property on a quiet no-sports lake. Interior looks recently renovated and was very clean. Outside space is large with lots of seating for everyone. Lake access was easy and has a nice sandy bottom to wade out for a swim or to launch the kayaks.
Surrounding area has good amount of restaurants, bars, grocery stores, etc.....about 1 hour from Holland, Saugatauk, 30 min to St.Joseph and 10 min from Dowagiac.
Would highly recommend if you don't need a power boat to make your vacation.

The house has more than enough space, bathrooms and bedrooms! Very nice place to stay
4.8
Pros. The house was quite big with a ton of fun stuff to do. Board games. Puzzles, air hockey, ping pong, fosball, ect.
The lake is a very peaceful lake.
Cons. Every other house on the lake had a dock, a floating dock, paddle boards, and lily pad. This place only had old kayaks.
The stair way is in the middle of the living area with no possible way to put up a baby gate because the railing is rounded.
Summary. The actual house was very nice and could appeal more to people that prefer to just look at the lake.
4.8
Everything about our stay was wonderful. The home was clean and we thoroughly enjoyed the kayaks, swimming and all the local spots!

This is the third time we’ve stayed at this property and have enjoyed it every time

This home was amazing!! It was the perfect size for my family. The beds were very comfortable and the lake was awesome. If you enjoy fishing this is the place to come. It was very relaxing. The only negative comment I have is the decks had not been cleaned and the grates on the grills were not cleaned. I believe we were the first ones to stay for 2023. Overall, we had a great time. Will be booking again!!

The home is well taken care of, the kitchen is stocked with all that is needed for a home away from home trip. We ended up with a winter storm that kept us in for the weekend and it was perfect!

Unfortunately there were a lot of things that did not meet our expectations as VRBO renters.
Upon walking in the home- it seemed like we opened it up for the first time this year. There was a very musty smell in which we had to purchase odor eliminator and baking soda to help with the mustiness. Upon inspection of the beds we found mold on one of the comforters. We had to rewash all the bedding on all the beds. All the rusted outdoor furniture had to be scrubbed down before we could use it. The grill doesn't work correctly and was never cleaned after the last use. There were bones and cheese all over the inside. We had to brush down all the cobwebs and sweep both the upstairs and downstairs decks and the yard needed to be raked as there was feces all over, before we could use any of it. The house seems like it has not been maintained much. It poured here and the gutters look like they haven't been cleaned in quite a long time which could be the reason for the water stains on the master ceiling. It was hard having 10 people shower and use the sinks when none of the drains worked properly. The upstairs TV is broken with a line running down the screen, none of the remotes worked we had to buy batteries, bugs and all the light fixtures, dresser drawers broken, beds were very uncomfortable, underneath every bed there is a lot of dust and toys balls etc, pillows are very old and stained, sheets were stained, we couldn't use the ping pong table all the balls were broken, there were no hangers in the closets, we had to put owners personal stuff away to utilize the kitchen and dining room. We used the vacuum and the canister had never been emptied and had a horrible smell when we used it, the mop stinks horribly...
We are disappointed since we had to pay a cleaning fee and clean and open this home up ourselves. The contract stated the home would be clean and fresh for our stay. It was far from it. Overall we made the best of it but it felt like someone let us borrow their lake house, not that we rented a property from a business rental company. It did not that meet our expectations for the amount of money that we spent. It was a little strange seeing post it notes stuck all over explaing this and that as well. The pictures that are used to advertise makes it look very deceiving. We ended our week long vaction before the 5th night. Huge disappointment as we paid for 7.

Wonderful Family Getaway
We love Cable lake but this was our first time at Summerwind. Such a great house with room for the extended family. The private beach and kayaks were amazing we enjoyed the 10 min kayak ride to main beach on occasion . DVD collection was great and we enjoyed some classics in the one rainy day we had. Loved our stay!

We had 7 ladies on this trip. A beautiful spacious home. Everything we needed right there. The lake was clean and quiet. Perfect little spot for a quiet weekend getaway. Props to whomever stocked the DVD collection! The only thing I would bring next time would be a small light for the deck. We spent quite a bit of time outside enjoying the lake and playing cards on the deck. After sunset it’s a bit hard to see and the porch lights don’t offer quite enough light for that.

Very nicely set up for children / family/adults. Plenty of room. Also, lots of indoor activities to keep children occupied during inclement weather.

The inside of the house was very clean and spacious and looked very similiar to the pictures on the VRBO site. However, the outside is in need of attention and a thorough cleaning. That would be my only recommendation. Once you are in the home and on the water, you will totally love it! There's plenty of activities for everyone to do. We especially enjoyed the kayaks! The lake and surrounding area is very peaceful! The owner is wondeful to work with. We will definatley go back again!

Very Clean and Spacious. Plenty of parking in the long driveway, RO filter in the Kitchen is a nice touch. Air Hockey and Ping Pong came in real handy when we weren't in the lake. Like an earlier review mentioned,(unfortunately it was post booking) there is no cable or satelite. There are physical TV's but no service. Fire pit is on a slant so sitting around a fire is dangerous especially for younger kids. Minor details, but for premium pricing, I dont think it unfair to expect certain things.

Great home for a family vacation! There was plenty of space for all 9 of us to spread out!

Family reunion
This is the second time we stayed at Summerwind. And we can't wait o go back next year. the home is spotless and this year there were new appliances. the weather wasn't the best but there was plenty to do to keep everyone busy. The lake is the best, clean and quiet. the family enjoyed kayaking, fishing and just floating on the peaceful water. A beautiful home for a family vacation. Of course a trip to Driftwood is required for ice cream and arcade games. And a bon fire to make somemores was perfect in the evening.
