Summary: We stayed 4 nights in mid-December. The house was located near family that we were visiting. The house is charming with lots of train theme and antique décor. There was even a small Christmas tree and some holiday decorations. The master bed was very comfortable. There was a back yard that my small dog could use off leash once I figured out how to get the gate open. The home has a short driveway which was too small for our full size pickup truck, we unfortunately had to park in the road and force the neighbors to drive around us. Also, be aware that if you have any mobility issues with stairs that the access to the bedrooms, bathrooms, and front porch are both staircases without hand rails and the back steps are higher than normal.

Summary: I am a native of Dowagiac. My 2 adult daughters, 3 small grandchildren (4, 2, 5 months) and I came back to town for a family baby shower and I knew that I wanted the convenience of being in town. Coming home is always a needed thing for me. Heather's space was perfect. We came in right after a major snow fall and it set the tone when we arrived to see the twinkling lights and icicles and the porch glowing in the darkness. We arrived in time to see the Christmas parade, and the children loved being able to see trains come and go from the windows. Vintage, historical, and whimsy describes the space. But not only is the decor phenomenal to look at, the intentional comforting touches in the space accentuates it. I appreciate the attention to detail for families with small children, like stools on both sides of the counter bar, the large farm style dining table, and a cozy space with toys in one of the bedrooms and a rocking chair that is child size. The beds and linens were clean and super comfortable for sleeping. There was plenty of space and we could have included more if it were necessary. Convenience, cleanliness, and comfort were the necessities, caring, consideration and charm were icing on the cake. I do not personally know Heather or her brother who helps create their spaces, but correspondence was easy through the app or email, and I have the opinion that if I had a need she would have done what it would take to respond to it. Thanks Heather, We will be back.

Summary: We loved our stay at this cute themed home! Despite booking it two days before we went, we arrived and it was clean and felt like home. It was very reasonably priced and allowed us to bring our dog, a reactive ACD, and he was able to run to his heart’s content in the yard! This property was a blessing and we will be back.

Summary: We have stayed at another VRBO of Heather’s in past years and Heather is always very accommodating. Our pups enjoyed running in the backyard while we enjoyed the fire pit in the evening. We would have preferred an access to the backyard from the inside of the house. To enter the backyard you have to walk around and enter the gate from the side yard. It makes late night potty breaks with the dogs very inconvenient. It would be a great improvement to put a door where the window is in the dining room for easy access to the backyard. The beds are always very comfortable at both places we have rented from Heather. A microwave would be a great addition to this rental. Thank you very much Heather for all of your assistance during our stay at your Depot Cottage.

Summary: Very well kept centrally located house in Dowagiac. Very cool vintage vibe. There is a very cool model train that circles the first floor suspended from the ceiling. Comfy clean beds. It’s clear the owner cares for her property and her guests experience. 100% recommend.
