Charming Lakefront Cottage on Picturesque Property. Free Wifi
Year Purchased: 2000
Why the Owner Chose Interlochen
We looked for a charming summer cottage that would be on a beautiful lake, very private, and close to Interlochen Arts Academy, with its many faceted programs. We also wanted to be close to golf courses and near Traverse City and its varied offering of good restaurants and fun activities. When we found this cottage, it took us but one quick look to decide that this was all we have hoped for. It has been an excellent choice and our family has spent many happy hours here.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage
Swimming and kayaking in the privacy of our beautiful cottage, breakfasts and barbecues overlooking the water, a wonderful concert at Interlochen Arts Academy, trips to other small towns and the wineries in the area and an occasional golf game just minutes from home make our trips to the cottage a delightful and rich experience every time we stay there.
Owner's Map of Interlochen
While we live in the Detroit-Birmingham, Mi area, our favorite thing to do is spending time at the cottage, visiting the Interlochen Arts Academy and Traverse city and exploring all the charming small towns and villages in the area.

We have been to many cottages in this area over the years and the Brees Cottage was above all the others. We felt like we were in our own home and all of our needs were met by Anita. The views from the main area and our master bedroom were spectacular due to the full sliding doors to the lake. The grounds were so beautiful, the flower gardens, tall trees and the patio with lots of seating. The hammock was an added bonus, nestled in the trees with a view of the lake. The convenience of being so close to other cities was also wonderful. We will highly recommend Anita's place to our friends' and family.

We thoroughly loved our two weeks in your well appointed home "Up North". The indoor space, the outdoor space, and Green Lake were so enjoyed. It is the perfect spot to explore the Old Mission, the Leelaunau Peninsula, and we had a ball kayaking the Betsy River. Be sure to hear a concert at Interlochen, and spend time browsing the cottage library. The welcoming bottle of wine was a fantastic touch which we drank while watching the ducks on the lake! Michigan perfection!!

I really must preface my review by saying that the pictures don't do this charming lake house justice -- while they show how quaint it is, they really don't reveal that it's also very elegantly decorated. It's really appointed with the care and attention of a nice beach condo. And that holds true for the backyard too: huge lot that was great for the kids to use to play a little soccer (and could be used equally well with a collapsible volleyball net or for a lawn party). It also features a pretty garden with charming pathways along both sides of the house. The owner, Anita, was pleasant and very responsive. It really felt like a steal at 1300x week -- two full bathrooms, 2 bedrooms and 2 very sleepable couches meant that we fit our family of 6 nicely. Perfect place for trips to Interlochen and close enough to Traverse City without the touristy feel of Traverse City hotels/rentals. With a grocery store less than a mile away we found it perfect for tons of grill-outs. And when we wanted to eat-out there were plenty of places nearby (my kids insist that I mention the Hofbrau's chicken wings!), or a short ride away in Traverse. Definitely would recommend for others.

My brother, sister-in-law, husband and I just returned from a week and a half stay at this delightful cottage. We use VRBO properties often when we travel and have not yet been disappointed with our choices. We were pleased wtih the clean, bright cottage and were actually surprised that the property was more appealing even than the pictures. We had the opportunity to meet the owner and one of the cleaning staff she employs.....both were just as friendly and helpful as could be. This property was very well supplied with essentials, and we appreciated this greatly. Grilling out in the evening in the lovely back yard while listening to music drifting over the lake from Interlochen Arts Center was such fun. Hope to get back there again!

We just got back from our vacation at the cottage and all we can say is WOW! It was everything we wanted and more. This was our first trip to Michigan so our search started back in the Winter to find a place. This was the first time we had used a vacation website to find a vacation home. We looked at a number of properties and took our time searching. We settled on this property for its looks and location. The moment we walked into the cottage it felt like home. Beautifully decorated. The lake was clean and great for swimming. Close to Sleeping Bear Dunes. Lets not forget the great location across the lake from the Interlochen Academy. You can actually here some of the performances at night! I would highly recommend this cottage. Our kids are begging us to go back again! It was a perfect vacation. The owner was friendly and quick to accommodate any problems - not that we had any. If you are considering other properties, stop your search. You've found your place!!!

Marvelous cottage! It combines in one things really matter to me-a lake to swim, forests to walk ( I saw a deer and it's fawn!), the proximity of the Interlohen Summer Camp with music, performances and wonderful opportunities to meet people. The cottage has all conveniences to make me feel comletely at home, I was able to cook, play piano, read books from the library. The owner has a charming taste for light color and open space. It was my most perfect vacation ever. Very reasonably priced. I will be going there again and again.
