Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
We are both natives of the U.P. but currently reside in Mountain Top, Pennsylvania. We have two young boys that love to spend time with their grandparents in the Gladstone area.
Why the Owner Chose Gladstone
We both spent a lot of time in Gladstone growing up and we love all that this little town has to offer. It's a great place to just hang out and enjoy the friendly local people and small town charm. It's a nice break from out otherwise hectic lives... a true "getaway" for us.
The Unique Benefits of this Cottage
The location is great because Van Cleve Park and Little Bay de Noc (Lake Michigan) are just across the street. The park is beautiful and it offers everything from a public beach (where the water is actually quite warm due to the shallow bay) to a kids playland, to a new public fishing dock. Little Bay de Noc is known as one of the best Walleye fishing areas in the country and there are local charters available. In the winter you can enjoy the Gladstone Ski Hill which also offers tubing, and snowmobiles are allowed on city streets to allow easy access to the extensive trail system. Gladstone is small enough that you can walk to a local restaurant for a meal or visit the charming specialty shops downtown.

Little Bay Getaway was the perfect spot for a relaxing vacation. The house was cozy and had everything I needed. The view of the lake and walking along the shoreline in several parks was wonderful. I would definitely rent here again.

My husband and I stayed at Little Bay Get Away for our Honey Moon last Summer. Ron and Candice did EVERYTHING possible to make sure we had the best Honey Moon EVER (including a bottle of great wine waiting for us!)! We loved the cottage- it looked like something straight out of Better Homes and Gardens- yet made us feel very comfortable and right at home! Plus, the surrounding area of Gladstone is wonderful! We couldn't have asked for a better Honey Moon memory than what Ron and Candice gave us .. thank you!

We would highly recommend this lovely cottage. The owners have done a lot of updating. The furnishings are new as well as the carpet in living room and bedroom. There are also new kitchen and dining room floors. There is PLENTY of storage. Little Bay de Noc and Kiddie Kingdom are across the street as well as a walking/bike path. Downtown and a grocery are a short drive or can be biked or walked. There is always a breeze off Little Bay de Noc! The cottage is small but enough room for a family with the pull-out couch in living room and another single pull-out. We're told a second bedroom and bath will be added in the future!

What a lovely cottage! We had a wonderful time this weekend. The property is across from the park on Lake Michigan, making it ideal for fun as a family. It comfortably sleeps 4+ and has everything you need; full kitchen, comfortable living space, and large bedroom. The owners were very accomodating and friendly to work with. We highly recommend this property as a vacation getaway!
