Perfect lake view private sand beach for entering the water with a toddler and decently sandy region around the dock. Great canoeing option near by, can hear some outside noise if other cabins are in use but generally quiet.

Cozy cottage with a great view

Great location to explore the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore. Cottage is in a quiet and peaceful setting with a good choice of local eateries. Don’t forget to pick up a cherry pie at the Cherry Hut restaurant in Beulah.

Nice views off Platte Lake

The stay was easy and the views were good. The cottage is smaller as advertised but was comfortable, cozy, and never felt tight. The waterfront views were amazing. This is the perfect place for a couple (or small family in our case) to experience this part of Michigan at your own pace.

Amazing!!

Everything about this little cottage was great for us! Melissa was a great host with obvious thought and care given to all the details! The location was amazing, close to all kinds of adventures while the lake was quiet, restful and fun to paddle and play in! We would love to come back again sometime!

Cozy Cottage

Wonderful area. Cottage was thoughtfully setup. Right on the water of a beautiful, mostly calm, sandy bottom lake. Plenty to do in the area...we choose to do very little and peace prevailed. May well do it again soon.

This cottage was absolutely perfect! We loved playing at the lake, relaxing on the porch, sharing a bonfire and playing games. It's also. Perfect location to visit the Dunes, Traverse City, Frankfort, and more! Thanks to Melissa who made sure we had everything we needed.

Cozy Cottage with Beautiful Views

Very clean and comfortable cottage. Lovely place to stay. Wish the weather was a bit better during our stay in the off season. We weren’t able to enjoy the beach and lake as much as we probably would have during the nicer months. Dock was already taken out for the season. Good to know for future.

Cozy, Clean and Convenient!

The cottage was immaculate! It is close to the lake so it felt private. The lake is shallow, my 10 and 8 year olds were only hip deep off the dock. Nice sandy bottom. The kids loved the bunkbed and we all enjoyed the comfy couch and dvd player! Area is wonderful, owner is very helpful...hard to beat!! Only down side was the lack of a closet in the kid's room.

Lakefront relaxation

The property is neat and clean with the water's edge just a few steps away. The cottage is small (as advertised) but that is part of the charm and has everything you need for a couple or small family. Besides, you are on the lake and should be outside enjoying the view or the nearby beaches, restaurants, etc. We rented this place because of its proximity to Frankfort Beach which is one of our favorites. The neighbors are friendly and it is a nice quiet place to relax at the end of the day. This was our first time here but we would definitely do it again.

Cozy waterfront cabin

My husband and I rented this cozy cabin on Big Platte Lake. It was close to Sleeping Bear Dunes which we visited on one day of our stay. The second day was spent in our small boat fishing on the lake. The cabin is the closest of 6 to the water with beautiful sunsets. It has a well-stocked kitchen, an outdoor gas grill, movies and games to enjoy in the evening. I enjoyed reading a large supply of travel magazines. Melissa was easy to communicate with and a friendly host. We would definitely rent again.
