Great stay. Plenty of seating for 4 people. Beds were more comfortable than expected for us. The fireplace was great and the view to the lake was the winning piece. Small recommendations- doors to each room are very loud. Would recommend updating the listing to Keurig vs coffee maker just so folks know what to bring. Would stay here again! Would recommend.

Waking up to beauty

The cottage was everything we needed for a short stay. The location was both central to downtown and far enough from downtown to be absolutely stunning.

Quiet weekend away

We came to stay for our anniversary weekend and we had a great time! The place was perfect for us to stay in and play board games and spend some quality time together. Also, you're only two minutes away from Moomers ice cream, bonus!!

Our weekend get away

Perfect little cabin for a weekend get away. Very easy to find, has everything a couple could need for a weekend get away. Driveway was a little hard to enter but other than that, we had no complaints.

Feels Like Home For New Adventures!

The house became home base for short area adventures.. especially Sleeping Bears National Lakeshore.. a real national treasure. The home exceeded expectations and the owners were very responsive and communicative.
