Lovely cottage in a great location. The cottage was clean and bright and made my wife extreemle happy. We Loved the new walk in shower. I would sugest you put a grab bar next to the toilet and, if possibe, on the shower wall for us old folks. If we come to Michigan next year this cottage will be our first choice.

Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re so glad you and your wife enjoyed the cottage. We also really appreciate the thoughtful suggestion about adding grab bars near the toilet and in the shower. It means a lot to hear the cottage would be your first choice for a future Michigan trip!

Need a place to ride out the hurricane.

A last minute booking due to evacuation and found this place. It was a relief to have this comfortable home to stay in.
