Dec 10% Off - Cozy Vintage Holiday Charm! - Near Marshall & 5 min to I-69

Enjoy the peaceful charm & ambiance of a restored vintage B&B! Perfect for a romantic getaway, personal retreat or family trip, it's private, quiet, has views of 200 acres of lovely woods and is beautifully decorated with comfy vintage and cottage style furniture. Amenities include wine, cheese and crackers "Welcome Basket," yummy breakfast items, Starbucks coffee, luxury towels and bedding, Prime Video, Netflix, Hulu Live, Disney+, ESPN+, Echo Dot with Alexa, Amazon Music and BOSE Speaker! Just 5 min from I-69, University of Olivet, Pine Lake and the Old Indian Creek Farm Wedding Venue, we invite you to come and stay with us to see why many of our repeat guests call The Cottage their favorite cozy "home away from home!"

We have been on another vacation rental site for over five years with over 300 5 star reviews! Our historic property, established in 1865, is very unique, as the front of the property is on the Main Street of Olivet - but the back part of the property, where The Cottage is located, abuts to 200 acres of beautiful private wooded land! Many of our guests report that they see lots of wildlife, including deer, racoons and bunnies - and even wild turkeys! They also often comment on hearing the beautiful bird song in the spring and summer months, as well as the crickets chirping in the backyard pond and the gentle sound of our backyard water fountain. So, we are in the city and in the country at the same time!

- Private entrance. The Cottage is in a building totally separate from our home. It is located above our garage, which is used only for storage. No cars go in and out of the garage so it is very quiet and private. The Cottage is accessed by 14 indoor carpeted stairs with a sturdy handrail.

Short stay on the way to Wisconsin Dells
My husband, adult son and I stayed for just the one night while travelling.Sue was very pleasant to deal with and most helpful with all our queries.We loved the guest cottage, it was immaculately clean with all kinds of homey touches.We really appreciated the welcome basket and the breakfast items in the fridge. The main bed was wonderfully comfortable too. Hopefully we will see you again!

Charming Cottage on Olivet Campus
This second story cottage is clean, bright, and full of vintage charm. It overlooks a private yard with beautiful landscaping in the picturesque town of Olivet. The owners Sue and Bob are thoughtful and gracious hosts. They thought of everything you may need to make your stay comfortable. There was a handy house manual on the kitchen table as well as some lovely treats to enjoy during our stay. My husband and I felt right at home. We would happily stay here again, only next time I hope I get the chance to visit with their Labrador puppy, Sherlock.

Warm and Inviting little place
First time renting a place other than a motel. It was so much better! Sue was very responsive to any questions I had and the cottage was very clean. I would highly recommend this place and more than likely stay there again.
