We have loved staying here.. the well stocked kitchen, the wall of windows, the 2nd TV in bedroom,the very comfy deck chairs . We had a blast exploring the area: wine tasting tour, watching the sunsets, bike riding,dinner at North Country in Suttons Bay, driving to the lighthouse, walking around Northport, watching the Uof M MSU game (even though Uof M lost ) , playing yahzee. The only thing missing was a good tool to turn the logs in the fireplace, othe than that we loved every minute of our stay!! Thank you

Thank-you for another awesome week ( we were here in 2008) Last weekend there were 14 of us and we were all so comfortable! Because of the warm summer the lake was almost bath water temp and we walked for hours finding beautiful stones and petoskeys. Again thank-you for sharing your slice of Gods country with us ...we loved every minute.

This was our familys first UNITED TOUR "Up North Tours of Distinction" We were thrilled with the accommondations and the access to Lake Michigan. You have thought of everything in supplying the cottage (the poison ivy lotion came in handy) We will definitely recommend you to friends and hope to return in the future. Thank- you for a lovely vacation

It has been a fabulous week here at north-by-northwest . The clean fresh air, the marvelous beach (Lake MI is the best) the stars at night and looking for treasures are some of our favorite things. Combined with all the comforts of modern living in a beautiful home nestled into a secluded peacful L-MI dune / forest have made this a very memorable and happy week for us all!! Thanks for sharing

Our 3rd vacaton together in your cozy comfortable inviting cottage. Each year just gets better. We six sisters and three husbands treasure our times here. We revert to our "little girl" selves and share so many stories and so much laughter!! This year we saw an "angel" in the clouds , two deer on the dune, and spectacular sunsets. Thank-you ! Thank-you!

We had so much fun this week! We went to the beach and walked down to cathead point a few times. We found petoskey stones. We had game night and saw whitecaps on the water. Thanks for the great time.
