Across recent reviews, Sister Lake Cottages - Unit 4 is described as a clean, cozy, good value base in the heart of Sister Lakes, with cute decor, comfortable basics, and a convenient, walkable location near restaurants and lake activities.
Many guests praise helpful, responsive communication and quick assistance with minor issues. Common critiques mention uncomfortable or dated furnishings (sleeper sofa, mattresses), small or aging bathroom fixtures, occasional noise from fans or a loud heater, and a few housekeeping lapses. Overall, expect a simple cottage stay in a central small-town setting.

This was the perfect weekend getaway for our 15th anniversary. Walking distance to a few restaurants and in the middle of 3 lakes. Nice outdoor area also. Would have liked a small beach area for those staying at the cottages. Only negative would be the ceiling fan in the bedroom is off balance and made an annoying sound all night.

We were there for a family reunion. Separate cottages and the common areas were great for that purpose. Our cottage had no hanging space for clothes, very noisy, unbalanced fan, and the fan light did not work. Extremely small bathroom that was not all that clean. Not well set up when we arrived. No garbage bags, limited toiletries, and we had 3 plates. Our family in other cottages did not have sufficient plates and glasses and some had no toiletries and a sink backed up. The staff should just make sure that there are 8 plates, bowls, glasses etc. in every cabin. I did communicate with management and they were very responsive. You are not right on the lake but very close and you do have your own dock. The area has many restaurants that are walk able.

Cute lil’ cabin, conveniently located to the local lakes and drive-in movie theaters. It appears that they are in the process of improving the overall experience, but the current mattress was awful. The amenities did not match the spec sheet, but the property overall was functional for what we needed. The Vrbo interface was the worst part of the experience. I’d suggest booking directly through the property owners website.

I really liked the coziness of cottage 7. We had all of our favorite amenities (fridge, microwave, sink, tv, etc.) to make our stay comfortable. The cottage seemed like it was recently remodeled. It was clean with a welcoming beach theme. The only thing that was missing was closet space or hooks to hang up our jackets. My husband and I loved this place and plan on coming back next year.

very cute little cottage ! we were in town for a birthday party and the location was perfect..we could walk to the Driftwood and The Strand...my only constructive feedback would be to upgrade the sleeper sofa. The frame is really sagging so it was not comfortable at all. property is very nice and clean as well-overall a great spot!

Everything was great! Sage was very communicative and responded within timing manner. There were some things that one could keep in mind the shower water smelled rusted and one of the side of the stove did work making cooking time longer. There’s designated parking spot for each cottage but at times people would park in that space. Aside from these minors things everything else was great and I would come back again.

We stayed here for my birthday/our babymoon. We really enjoyed our time. It's decorated very cute and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The air conditioner works great. We enjoyed taking walks around the nearby lakes. And there is an ice cream/coffee shop/arcade steps away from the cottage, which was fun to visit. We also enjoyed a dinner date right down the road at The Strand. The food was very good! The host was also very helpful and communicative through VRBO messaging, always available to answer any questions right away.

The cottage itself was adorable, everything went great once we arrived. However, when I first tried to book cottage 4, immediately after entering my cc info, the next screen that popped up said that this property was no longer available. I assumed someone beat me to it, so I rented cottage 7. Within 24 hours of realizing I was charged for BOTH cottages, I reached out to Unique Stays and was told there were no refunds. After calling VRBO and calling Unique Stays again, they ultimately said they cancelled one of my reservations but said they would not refund me unless someone else rented it. While staying in cottage 7, I did see people occupying cottage 4 all weekend but when I asked about my refund, they never returned my calls. Unique Stayd either made double off this confusion or offered this property to a friend/employee on my dime. I’m really disappointed because I would have definitely gone back to this property, but will not be giving them anymore of my money.

This beautiful property is right in the heart of Sister Lakes. Our cottage (7) was perfect for the two of us. Sage, our contact, was quick to solve a small problem with the coffee maker. Other than that we had everything we needed and felt right at home. We will be back for future visits.

No garbage bags, limited toiletries, and we had 3 plates. Our family in other cottages did not have sufficient plates and glasses and some had no toiletries and a sink backed up. The staff should just make sure that there are 8 plates, bowls, glasses etc. in every cabin. I did communicate with management and they were very responsive. You are not right on the lake but very close and you do have your own dock. The area has many restaurants that are walk able.

A cute comfortable place to stay! The set up and design of the cottage is very practical and accommodating. Very central to all amenities in Sister Lakes.

We stayed here for my birthday/our babymoon. We really enjoyed our time. It's decorated very cute and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The air conditioner works great. We enjoyed taking walks around the nearby lakes. And there is an ice cream/coffee shop/arcade steps away from the cottage, which was fun to visit. We also enjoyed a dinner date right down the road at The Strand. The food was very good! The host was also very helpful and communicative through VRBO messaging, always available to answer any questions right away.

very cute little cottage ! we were in town for a birthday party and the location was perfect..we could walk to the Driftwood and The Strand...my only constructive feedback would be to upgrade the sleeper sofa. The frame is really sagging so it was not comfortable at all. property is very nice and clean as well-overall a great spot!

The area is great! The place is nice, a/c works great! The bed is very squeaky, uncomfortable and new pillows are needed. There’s no soap dish in the shower. It was a good stay.

Host was great at accommodating. Unfortunately, the bathroom was a bit messy when we got there, they sent us check in info 30 min late, and they said we could rent a canoe, but had no canoe. Overall we had a good time, but those things were a bit annoying.
