We had a great time at the cabin! The check-in was very smooth and everything was nicely set up for us to enjoy a long weekend by the water.

Charming Cabin
Quaint cottage ("gnome home" as our daughter like to call it) directly on the lake. The kids enjoyed the small beachfront and kayaks. As the description states, no air conditioning, but plenty of fans to keep things cool enough. Kitche with all of the conveniences needed to prepare meals. We enjoyed a few days at Ludington Beach, a kayak trip on the Pere Marquette and a day trip to Sleeping Bear.
