About this property

Relaxing escape. Spend days on the water and nights by the fire at this quaint cottage. The best of summer and winter. Right on a small quiet fishing lake and near several all sports lakes, golf courses, hiking trails. and ORV trails. In the winter adjacent to snowmobile trails and surrounded by ski resorts. Just a short drive from everything northern Michigan has to offer. A true gem!

Michigan cabin

Perfect spot to get away and relax. We enjoyed the quiet and clean lake. The two fire pits were a bonus! Would love to visit again.

Wonderful long weekend getaway

This home and the hosts were excellent! The property was just as described and perfect to serve as a home base for exploring the area, but also comfortable with plenty of amenities to stay in and relax inside or out on the beautiful property and lake. Communication with the host was easy and all of our questions were answered in a timely manner. Check in instructions and other relevant information were provided in advance of our arrival, and the host shared a phone number for easy texting/calling in case additional contact needed to be made during our stay. Overall this cabin was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and made for a perfect spot to rest, relax, and unwind during our long weekend stay in the area. We especially enjoyed the fire pit! Would love to return and would definitely recommend.

Beautiful Property

This was a great stay! Peacefully lake, had kayaks and paddle boat. Hocking trails in the other side of the lake. The house had all the basic necessities.

Lovely quiet retreat

Overall, our stay was very pleasant. The neighborhood is very quiet and we had a great time swimming in the lake. The host provides a paddle boat and kayaks that were a lot of fun too. A few things that would have been helpful to know are: 1.) We have Verizon cell service and it was VERY spotty. 2.) The decline to the water from the cabin is pretty steep. Take note if you have anyone who may have issues with uneven stairs. 3.) There's no AC. I knew this was a possibility going into it, but we had some pretty hot days in the house. As I mentioned though, this is a very nice property on a very quiet lake - we had a great time.

Beautiful property

This was the perfect getaway for our family. The house is on a small lake with only maybe 15 other houses. It was so peaceful. The property is well maintained, the host was great with communication, and we had a great time. Would definitely stay again!
