Quaint and quiet with room for our little dog to roam without fear of traffic. Had everything we needed but could use a bit of updating. Shower worked great and the bed was comfortable. Great place further north and out of the fray, lake views everywhere!

We had a great stay at Cottage #2! We loved the location. It was very quiet and enjoyed sitting on the patio. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable and we appreciated the coffee and cherry tart. Thank you Sophie for a relaxing getaway!

We loved the location. Far enough away from Sister Bay to avoid the business but close enough we could visit for dinner. Very close to the ferry and Newport beach. We had 2 adults and 7 yo and 12 yo. The space worked for us. Good beds and linens. Had everything we needed including paper products. It is an older cottage but decorated nicely and clean.

Clean cozy cabins on a quiet street close to the bay. Host communication was A. Cabin had everything needed for cooking or grilling. Got a cabin without fireplace more room for us. Had 4 adults and 2 large dogs and still had plenty of space. Forgot our crates for dogs (they have to be crated if you leave them unattended) but we took them everywhere with us. Short walk to shore of bay where there is a nice little park with picnic benches and you can sit and let the wind blow through your hair. The BEDS were so comfortable! Great fluffy towels. A fire pit in the backyard. If you expect fancy go somewhere else. If you want a quaint unwinding reset from everyday life this is the place for you.

Great little cottage in an amazing location. Views of the water, nice quiet location. The owners were super responsive when we had to reach out. The cottage itself was so cute and super clean. Three adult women for three nights and then my 18 year old nephew joined us for the last night and we still had room. We loved it. Super homey and comfortable.
