The property was perfect for the two of us. We loved being on the water with our boat just steps away at the dock. The cabin was thoughtfully equipped and lives large for such a small space. We look forward to our next stay! Thank you! Charlotte and Mark

The place was clean, quiet, and very comfortable. Being right on the water made for a peaceful and relaxing stay. My favorite part was sitting outside each morning, watching the ducks and enjoying the view. The host was very responsive, and the check-in process was simple and seamless. I would definitely stay here again.

Hi Adrianne, I'm glad you enjoyed the cabin. Was there something I could have done better to make your stay worthy of a 5 star review? I have 99.9% 5-star reviews, so when I get a 4-star it hurts my property status and makes me feel that I could have done something to make your stay better.

We had a wonderful time and the cottage was AWESOME! It is small but mighty in amenities. It was provisioned so well. So very cozy and the bed and pull-out sofa were both very comfortable. Location was perfect for skiing the entire week.

The cabin is very quaint and cozy with everything we needed located in a multi-sport paradise. The lake in fall was beautiful. The summer motor boats were all gone, and we enjoyed kayaking around Oden Island (walked the trails there too, nice little hike). We also kayaked to Pickerel Lake and watched a bald eagle eat lunch (brought our own boats). There is a paved bike path nearby which made for great E-bike excursions- to the fish hatchery and from Petosky to Charlevoix, enjoying the fall tree color and red berries of Michigan holly. There are lots of opportunities to hike locally in nature preserves with nice trails. Several wineries were still open on weekends. Things to know about the cabin: the bed is surrounded on 3 sides with walls (small space) but very comfortable, lots of linens provided. The location on a state highway means you do hear road noise- we still slept peacefully (I use an earplug and the traffic decreases at night). The bathroom is tiny as well and appears to be relatively unheated (we couldn’t get the floor heater to work in there) but has a skylight and lots of hot water. Appreciated access to washer and dryer. Great lake view, stars at night and pretty sunrises. Functional little fire caldron and wood provided for evening marshmallow roasting. Host was accessible by cell phone and easy to communicate with. Overall a great stay!
