Great place to stay

My mom and I (and dogs) were looking for a nice place to stay during our annual drive around The Thumb of Michigan. We chose this location due to its proximity to a specific restaurant (lol), and we're so glad we did! The property was beautiful, and Darcy was an excellent host.

Tiny Cottage on river

The owner of the Tiny Cottage was wonderful she gave us so many wonderful suggestions for our visit to Marine City Michigan, she was so great about getting back to us if we had any questions, she helped us with restaurant suggestions, beaches etc. The tiny cottage was clean, close to town & beaches. We enjoyed Marine City and other close by towns along the river.
