Cabin Antiques

07/14/2025

Today was a tough one. After 16 years, Cabin Antiques is closed, emptied and floors have been washed for the final time.

This sweet, little red cabin was the reason we bought the property. I fell in love with it long before Marge Richcreek’s sons built the beautiful adjoining home. I always thought it would be the perfect spot for my growing collection of antiques.

During the early years, we used to sit on the porch Saturday and Sunday mornings, sipping coffee and talking. I loved how we started our weekend mornings, waiting for the first customer to arrive. Through the day, I enjoyed working in the garden, while the cabin was open, trimming bushes, weeding and deadheading flowers.

We always intended to carve our initials in the porch support posts. But life got in the way and, before I knew it, we lost our opportunity.

Today, after the last items were loaded up, and floors vacuumed and washed, I carved our initials. We may not be able to grow old together there on the porch, but our initials will now stand the test of time.

We were together and that’s all that counts. ❤️

Today we’re opening at 10:30 and closing at 1:15 in order for the house and cabin to be shown. Hope to see you! Deals are to be made!

UPDATE - with rain coming in, the cabin has closed for the afternoon.

Cabin Antiques will be open at Sister Lakes on Thursday, July 4, and this Sunday from 11 to 3 pm - as long as the sun is shining and we can paint & garden outdoors!

Cottage Gallery is closed for the holiday and will be open our regular hours on Friday and Saturday from 10:30 to 4:30. Happy Fourth everyone!

It’s going to be a beautiful weekend! Cabin Antiques, the sister shop of Cottage Gallery, will be open Sunday from 11 to 3 pm at the lake. We’re located at the corner of M152 and Terry Drive, adjacent to JD's Marina. At the lake, we feature a fun mix of cottage core, farmhouse and vintage. You’ll enjoy just visiting our lake cabin!

What a great day at the cabin! Wonderful “cottage core” finds are on their way to new homes, including some of our favorites - a shabby chic oversized coffee table, vintage rose China and primitive carrier.

We love our Sister Lakes clientele! You were the first to believe in our dream 16 years ago and you’ve stood by us each summer! Thank you! ❤️

Cabin Antiques at Sister Lakes will be open on the Fourth of July from 10 to 3. If the door is open, come on in and we’ll be down shortly.
If we don’t hear you, look for us in the driveway, where we’ll be painting. 😊

UPDATE - we’ll be playing it by ear. If the weather clears up, we’ll be open.

Cabin Antiques at Sister Lakes kicks off its summer season this Sunday!

It’s hard to believe it’s been 14 years since we bought this property, including my beautiful home and the little red cabin at the corner that I fell in love with years earlier.

I’ll never forget the day we saw the for sale sign! We were on our way into Benton Harbor to get pumpkins to take to Antiques on the Bluff that Sunday. We stopped at a garage sale on M152 and on the way back to the car, the for sale sign caught my eye. I was a goner at that point! I always thought the little cabin would make a great seasonal shop. And so it has!

I have many good memories here and thank you all for encouraging me on this journey, which eventually led to the opening of my primary shop, Cottage Gallery, in downtown Dowagiac.

Cabin Antiques will be open on Sundays, beginning this weekend. The exception will be cold, rainy Sundays and the first Sunday of the month, when you can instead find me at Antiques On The Bluff in St. Joe.

If the door is open, come on in! Music will be on and I’ll be in shortly. You can likely find me in the driveway painting furniture or gardening, and I’ll run in, as soon as I see you!

The cabin has been restocked with fun, shabby chic, farmhouse, and new and vintage goodies.

We’re located on M152 at Sister Lakes, adjacent to JD's Marina. We will also open by appointment during the week.
