Very cute little cabin however the internet kept cutting out which led to no TV being able to be watched and we lost power which meant no heat for awhile. But overall a decent place to stay!!

Little Getaway

We loved staying here. We chose it because we used to camp nearby and wanted to revisit the area. I loved the cottage, it was immaculate. Check-in was super easy. Traverse City is close by for your choice of restaurants and super quiet setting.

5-Star Stay!Overall, we had a wonderful stay! The cabin was clean, quiet, and had lots of great amenities to enjoy. Just a little friendly tip for future guests: make sure to pay attention to the seasonal availability of the jacuzzi tub, as I didn’t realize it would be closed for the season during our visit.The only other suggestion I would make is to have the cabin number markers a little more visible or transparent, as it was a bit difficult figuring out which cabin was ours.Other than those two small things, we absolutely enjoyed our stay! Five stars from us, and we will definitely be back! Thank you for a great experience!

The cottage was lovely and the beds VERY comfortable! View of the lake from the porch was dreamy! The terrace to the hot tub and beach was cool although we didn’t get to spend time there- it is definitely a great spot and given more days would be a great place to hang out and relax. Location is great for exploring the area too! Hosts were terrific!
