Fantastic Property

We had a fantastic time at this cottage - it was everything it looks online. The inside was very clean and well appointed with plenty of cooking supplies, glassware, and everything else you’d need for a long weekend. We especially enjoyed the huge backyard and lake views - it’s a very peaceful spot to sit around a fire and make some s’mores - everything we needed to do just that was made available which was a very nice treat. Check in was super easy and communications were great throughout the booking and our stay. I would highly recommend this spot.

Amazing property!

This place is beautiful! The backyard has so much space, the yard games are perfect, the lake has a little beach so it was perfect for our toddler to play on, and the fire pit was a perfect place to relax at the end of the day. The house has everything you will need, it’s clean comfy and so nice to relax in. This house made us fall in love with Michigan, we will absolutely be back!

Quintessential Michigan Lake Vacation

Our stay was absolute perfection complete with every detail including fishing poles, frisbees, kayaks, a paddle boat, fire pit and even a brand new set of marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers for s’mores. Our host surprised us with flowers, amazing local wine and apple pie. We could not have asked for better access to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and the surrounding towns. A truly wonderful place to relax and sit outside on the deck while enjoying access to the private beach. Truly relaxing!

Wonderful summer week with our 2 young children

Lovely lake house with great large lawn leading up to small sandy beach area. Everything available was so well thought out and useful indoors and out. Property manager was responsive and very helpful. Would definitely stay again!
