About this property

150' of lakefront & sits along Michigan Snowmobile Trail

Our 5 bedroom house sits on a double lot (170 feet of shoreline) next to a 90 acre full sport lake. The house has a full kitchen on the upper level and a 1/2 kitchen on the lower level to accommodate outdoor cooking on the grill or flattop.
The lower level is a walk-out basement to the lakefront with a large patio. Our property is treated year round for mosquito control. While not perfect, the treatments dramatically reduce the evening bites.
The property has a nice outdoor block fire pit with stacks of firewood included in your rental.
With Keeler Lake being located just outside Sister Lakes, you will not feel crowded and struggle to park. There are no houses across the street and with a double lot on both sides, your nearest neighbors will be at least 80 feet away.

Keeler Lake is a 10 minute drive from Sister Lakes, 20 to Dowagiac, with more nearby.

Our property is directly across the street from the official state snowmobile trails. This property would make a great home base for the avid snowmobilers.

Great time!
Very impressed with property. The sandy beach and the lake were so clean. Kids couldn’t get enough of playing with sand toys on beach and swimming. Also caught many fish off the dock. We enjoyed kayaking and going on the pontoon The lower level patio had screening so perfect spot to relax in evening. and also eat meals as it is right next to the grills.

Great Experience
There was plenty of space for our large group, and the outdoor space was particularly great. The young kids loved to swim and play in the sand, and the kayaks and stand-up paddleboards were great for the teens and adults. The tree in the yard is one of the best there is for swings, and there were a couple our kids loved to swing on. There was plenty of space for yard games, and they had everything we needed at the house. Would definitely stay again!

Great long weekend location
This place was a great place to stay for my brother’s wedding. My family and I were comfortably housed without too much overlap. The downstairs area was very nice and inviting. We only had one tiny issue and Chris took care of it swiftly. I would definitely stay here again!

Torres vacation 2022
We like to vacation in the dowagic area because of the beautiful keeler lake. We drove all the way from south Texas 3,000 miles 2 way. And this house was very large and easily accommodated a family of 14 . The outside grill was perfect,We cooked our breakfast out there. Pancakes,eggs,bacon and alot more stuff. No need to use the stove only for baking homemade pies we bought in the area. And the boat that we also rented was more fun then we expected. The water toys in the little storage unit was filled. alot of life jackets for all sizes, kayaks, canoes , water bords and other stuff. We also had an amazing time on the swings that are hanging from a large tree. All we saw in the house was alot of happy smiling faces. We would like to thank Chris for letting us enjoy his lovely house. We will be definitely be back.

Why they chose this property

Compared to other rental properties in southwest Michigan, you'll get much more outdoor space. We sit on a double lot on a lake where the houses aren't packed tightly together. Ours actually sits between 2 vacant lots, one we own and one that's not build-able so you'll never have neighbors right on top of you. While the boating traffic still gets very crowded on weekends, it's far better than on the other area lakes.

What makes this property unique

This house was built by my grandfather, father, and uncle. I've literally been going here my entire life. We've tried to set up the house to work great for 4 small families. Parents in the full bed, kids in the bunks. We don't spend a lot of time in the house so the bedrooms are a little tight, but that's what works best for our family and friends.
