  A perfect place to enjoy the beauty of northern Michigan. The home was very cozy, and the host so helpful. Already talking about when to rent it again!

  The house is very comfortable and the view is unbelievable. We spent a lot of early mornings out on the deck just watching the water. My teen boys paddled the canoe to the middle of the lake every day! Northport and Sutton's Bay are pretty close when we wanted civilization, but it was great to be "off the grid" at the tip of the penninsula and do a whole lot of nothing!

  Pros: Great location- amazing view of Grand Traverse Bay. Private beach, nice outdoor furniture, private canoe for our use, gas grill and hammock made our stay very nice. Nice flooring and furniture inside and fabulous flat screen TV's including in the huge master bedroom! Landlord/owner is amazing and accommodating. She was very professional, organized and responsive to our needs both before and during the rental. Cons: Not too many. It was a hot week and not too much cross ventilation in house. Recommend putting ceiling fan in master bedroom and to make sure all floor fans are operational. Might consider getting new kitchen appliances and eventually upgrade bathroom fixtures. The walkway up to front door was very uneven and someone could easily trip.

  The house is beautifully sited on the bay, with the comfortable amenities. The neighbors were pleasant but not intrusive. We felt right at home and did not need to roam far to enjoy sunrise or sunset. We had three generations with us, and everyone loved it. We hope to stay there again.

  What can i say!!! You know i am in love with this place!!! My husband and i rented in June 2010 and my mom and myself and a friend came back in Sept!! You will not find better hosts anywhere in the U.S. than Dave & Gloria!!! They go out of their way to make sure your stay is outstanding!!! The cottage is very neat & clean and the decorations are beautiful. One thing that is very important to us is the furniture is very nice and comfortable!!! The views are just soooooo beautiful!!!!! You are right on the water!!! In a peaceful and quiet subdivision in the woods!!!! Lots of wildlife!!! If you want a great breakfast place to eat go to the Treasure Chest in Northport. On your left if you are leaving the cottage going to town!!! Tell Donna Cindy from Ky said hello!!!! Can't wait to come back in June 2011 !!!

  WE had an incredible time relaxing in your beautiful cottage. The lake view, light snowfall and quiet did our minds and souls good. Thank you for sharing your lovely location with us. We had a great time looking at the lakeshore from your angle. WE say shoreline we normally don't get to see. Pat & Annemarie C.

  11-5-7, 2004 As usual, Matt & I had a great time staying at the cottage. This is our third "Fall Getaway" in a row. This time, we brought our friends Stephanie & Jason to see how enjoyable the cottage is! Last night, we had a bonfire on the beach. It was really nice. We made hobodinners and wrapped them in tinfoil, and cookedn them on the fire. We burned the food, but a good time was had by all. We'll be back again next year!! Sarah & Matt Steph & Jason

  10-24-03 What a beautiful weekend it was. This is our second year coming here and we had a wonderful time, once again. Friday, we went and picked out lots of goodies at the grocery store. We ate a warm supper and played scrabble in front of the fire. Saturday, we went for a hike in the state forest and managed to hike all the way to the water!! It was a warm, sunny day, perfect. Today is our last day - we hae to leave. We will stop in Traverse City on our way out and do a little sightseeing before we go home. Matt & I had a great, quiet weekend, and we can't wait to cmoe back. Sarah & Matt
