What makes this Cottage unique
I love to enjoy a relaxing morning cup of coffee out on the deck. Freighters can be seen and heard passing through the Straights-- count the lighthouses! Sunsets and the night sky are incredible--sometimes shooting stars, and sometimes the Northern Lights make an appearence.

Just left and so miss that wonderful veranda! Great week! We are already looking to returning same time next year. Pictures do not give it justice...wonderful Lake Michigan rental...exemplitifies "pure Michigan"!! Thank you so very much for sharing this treasure! We so enjoyed your dish TV (not available in most rentals in the area) and hope you may consider wi-Fi in the future. :). We actually only took a couple day trips because we so loved the home! Home away from home could not be any better...who lives on Lake Michigan and can watch it's ever changing personality? Thanks to the Graham's!
We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay!! We look forward to having you back again next year!!
30th Anniversary Celebration spectacular!!
Can't say enough how much we enjoyed cottage!! Wanted to cry when we left! So peaceful, warm and welcoming. Wonderful sandy beach to spend hours on. I agree w past renter, LOVE the chipmunks! We went kayacking and enjoyed it! We were Friday for Petoskey Fest and had a blast! Thank you so much for such a lovely time! My husband proposed to me 31 years ago at Legs Inn and we honeymooned camping up on hill at Lakeshore Campground.....so this really is a special place in our heart and we hope to move up that way! Appreciate you sharing your cottage!! And the sunsets are truly spectacular!
We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay!!! We think it's a pretty special place as well😊. Happy 30th anniversary to you both!!
Almost heaven
Comfortably furnished with a nicely equipped kitchen with all appliances in perfect working order. Airy sleeping, even on cooler evenings. Very easy beach access via solid, built-in steps, and wonderful, wonderful, WONDERFUL sunsets.
The chipmunks are a delight, please continue to keep them around.
I'd spend my entire summer there if I could.
So glad you enjoyed your stay!!!!

The owner was very easy to work with. We enjoyed many happy hours on the deck overlooking the beautiful lake and sunsets. Everything was clean and the "Tunnel of Trees" road, just outside our door, was driven by us many times. The site depicted the house well, however, there were no pictures of the baths. We found out only after we arrived that there is no shower, only a bathtub.
We are very happy to report that we have recently remodeled the downstairs bathroom and now have a stall shower for our renters.
After spending a weekend ...
After spending a weekend at this cottage in Cross Village, my husband and I decided to move from East Lansing to Harbor Springs. We loved staying here --the sunsets are magic and as a bonus, we got to watch a thunderstorm move in on the horizon. Wonderful.
