We chose this property because of its proximity to tahquamenon falls and whitefish point. I was such a peaceful, well maintained, and spacious property. The views of the lake were breathtaking and we wish we had booked a longer stay we so enjoyed everything. I did notice that the only spoons in the kitchen were soup spoon size and there were only about 5 or so of those. So having enough variety of silverware for a family of 4 and not having to wash the dishes are constantly could be a subtle improvement. But if I had asked the property owners they might have addressed that right away, I just did not ask about it.

The cottage was neat and tidy and comfortable! We felt quite at home. The road was too close for us to feel that our pets were safe. I didn’t realize the road was only 10 feet away from the front door. That was the only downfall to our stay. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.

Comfortable home to host a family. Clean. Friendly host. Lake view. Host provided shampoo, conditioner, body soap, dish soap, laundry detergent. Exceeded expectations. Not a abundance of lawn space, home is nestled between the road and the lake, but plenty of room to sit outside around fire pit or on the deck.

Winter weekend getaway

This house was super clean ans a perfect stay for our group of 6 adults. Close to snowmobile trails for us to easily access and gas station/bars only about a mile away. We had a minor run in with the kitchen sink not working but the host had someone out right away to fix the issue. We would definitely stay here again. :)
