Waking up to beauty

The cottage was everything we needed for a short stay. The location was both central to downtown and far enough from downtown to be absolutely stunning.

Quiet weekend away

We came to stay for our anniversary weekend and we had a great time! The place was perfect for us to stay in and play board games and spend some quality time together. Also, you're only two minutes away from Moomers ice cream, bonus!!

Cabin on a lake

The cabin was great. It was exactly as advertised. The best part of it was the view from the front window. It was such a peaceful setting on a lake. We enjoyed the Grand Traverse lighthouse, the Old Mission lighthouse, and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. We would stay there again.

Peaceful Cabin Getaway On a Beautiful Lake

We stayed at the cabin for 4 nights in May 2025. Absolutely loved the property and the cabin. The interior was very comfy, a perfect spot to unwind after a long day of hiking and exploring the surrounding area. Katie was very attentive and fast to respond to messages. We definitely plan to return!

About the host

Hosted by Katie Kinney

Host profile image
My husband, Matt & I are both natives of Traverse City, and have been VRBO hosts since the spring of 2020. The best part of being hosts is being able to be part of bringing guests to a place we love, so they can also enjoy all that Traverse City and the surrounding areas have to offer.

Why they chose this property

This little hide-away, tucked next to Huellmantel Lake, has always been a favorite spot of ours...a little slice of heaven, secluded enough for a private getaway, but close enough for a quick trip to Traverse City, Glen Arbor, Interlochen, and countless other local hotspots - a true jumping off point for local recreation & entertainment!

What makes this property unique

A stay at Huellmantel Lake Cabin is a vacation in itself just enjoying the lake view from the porch or campfire, or venturing out for local hiking and recreation, sight-seeing, or wine tours.
