Mirror Lake

We had a wonderful stay. The view of the lake really is a Mirror. Pictures can't share the beauty of the area. The cabin had everything we needed for cooking and watching TV on a rainy evening. The bed is very comfortable. Location was ideal for our trips around the Traverse City area. We will be back to enjoy the quiet of Fife Lake/Mirror Lake.

Perfect Getaway

Amazing time! David and Colleen are wonderful hosts. Cabin is beautiful and clean. The location of this cabin is amazing. You have access to a beautiful lake steps from the cabin and walking distance to the charming town of Fife Lake. We had a wonderful time kayaking, exploring local trails and learning about the history of Fife Lake. If ever back in the Traverse City area, this is where we will be staying. 😊

Perfect Getaway

My boyfriend and I were looking for a a new lake to visit and paddle board on, and came across this gem. Quaint Mirror lake is footsteps away across the street and larger Fife Lake is just down the street. We were greeted by Dave and Connie, who were very friendly and welcoming. The cottage was immaculate. Smelled cleaned, very tidy and decorated very nicely. They provided all the comforts of home with the finest attention to detail for anything you may have forgotten. We will definitely stay here again.

The house is perfect! It’s immaculate and nicely decorated. Perfect for a couple or 3 people. The location was beautifully located looking at the lake. Kayaking in the morning was super calm. We saw just the beginning of fall color in beautiful Michigan.Both Dave and Colleen were delightful as well. We couldn’t ask for better hosts. Thank you!

Perfect relaxing getaway!

Such a perfect, quiet and peaceful place for us to spend a relaxing getaway! The location was perfect as we took day trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Traverse City and Frankfort! We love summers up North, and this house on a little peaceful lake was just what we were looking for! The house was super clean, we loved to kayak and a little evening fishing on Mirror Lake. Just sitting on the deck or on the couch looking at the lake was so peaceful after fun filled days. Wish we had more time to walk and bike the trails! Will return for sure! Highly recommended!!! Thank you for a great week!

A Charming Piece of Perfection

This amazing cottage home has everything you could want for an incredible vacation get away. Cleanliness to perfection, and a beautiful interior, we settled in for a wonderful stay. While this cottage is perfect in all details with everything you would need for your stay, the grounds and views are none to be matched. As we sat on the front porch with morning coffee the view of mirror lake lives up to it's name and deer gently walking by to entertain. There is a outdoor firepit to enjoy the lazy days of summer and numerous trials in the woods as well. Many thanks to the incredible hosts, Dave and Colleen who made this vacation one to remember!

This cottage was perfect for our needs! It was the perfect home base to explore Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, bicycle trails, and wineries. The cottage itself was immaculate and we had everything we needed. It was a bonus to have use of the kayaks and bicycles. The owners are very responsive, friendly, and helpful. We will definitely return!

Beautiful

Cottage was very clean and nice, we loved being able to use the bikes and kayaks. Mirror lake was even better in person, very cute small private lake. Place was mostly quiet serene and relaxing. We loved the stay so much we were thinking about booking again another time, maybe in the winter. Half an hour from Traverse city too, so we got to enjoy that as well.time

Great place!

This little cabin was a great place to spend a few days. The little lake is very deep and clean. We spent most of our time swimming and kayaking around the lake. The cabin had everything you need to cook meals and enjoy your time together. Everything was very clean and well maintained. We are so glad we stayed there with our almost college student daughter!

Tranquil Stay

Reflections on Mirror Lake exceeded our expectations. Driving up to the property we immediately were taken in by the lovely street appeal of the home. Check in was a breeze and we were immediately greeted by the owner who owns the property next door. The home was bright, clean and spotless. It is well appointed and was PERFECT for our 3 night stay up north. The home is a great base station for exploring Traverse City and beyond. We hope to stay here again in the future.
