What an amazing place to stay! Incomparable views of Lake Michigan, pet friendly, and a house hand crafted with care and attention to detail. We were so lucky to get to stay here. And our hostess really went above and beyond! We experienced some car trouble when we went to check out, and she came out to give us a jump and make sure we were able to get on our way safely! Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience!

This place is beautiful - nice open upstairs, really great deck with fantastic views. It is a great place to relax. If you can get by without wifi, the rewards are great - my kids played hard with the Lincoln logs and the really interesting blocks among other old school items on hand. Kate was a wonderful host.

A. Beautiful well loved family cottage. The care and history of the house was a delight. Sunset views were amazing. Super quiet and peaceful on 10 acres, but also located next th cherry orchard so it is even more private. The lack of WiFi was great to unplug. I was able to drive 10 minutes to New Bohemian coffee shop (shout out) in the morning for great pastries and coffee when I needed to check in. Host was completely responsive to our needs. Strongly recommend local farmers markets and Leelanau Cheese to cook up some memorable dinners.Hope to go back again some day

Wonderful lake house tucked away in the woods! All of the small details make this place incredibly special, and Kate is a fantastic host. We loved being able to truly unplug, setting our electronics to the side in favor of game nights and sunsets on the deck. My daughted loved the wildlife around the home --owls, eagles, and beautiful butterflies...deer every morning on our walks. Close to everything, but off the beaten path enough to actually feel relaxed. We drove to several sand beaches, and enjoyed looking for rocks at the beach below the house. Highly recommend this place!

Leelanau is always a treat, and this spot is truly a gem. We visited to celebrate our anniversary and unwind with our dogs away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It was such a delight to unplug for a week. Kate, our host, was wonderful and brought us a lovely flower arrangement from her garden on our anniversary. We had such a wonderful time watching the sunset and stargazing each night. We spent a lot of time on the beach searching for Petoskey stones and took some lovely long walks on the beach at Christmas Cove and the local hiking trails. We also couldn’t miss all the wonderful wineries, local food, and farm stands in the area. And finally, the house—it’s an amazing job what Kate’s father did, and how Kate and her family have preserved the natural beauty of the place and its surroundings.
