Adorable cabin in a beautifully scenic area with a short walk to the lake. Great place to bring your pups! The host was amazing and so kind and thoughtful.

Lovely remote location of the lakeshore. Cottage is set back from the Lake but it’s an easy walk to the sand. Lake is low at the moment which provides an interesting vantage point. Convenient to other attractions in the UP. Property Manager was very responsive to any concerns we had.

Very nice place, just wish the water was up to the shore. And with me having double hip replacement a year ago just wish the toilet was a little higher.

The property was cute. It reminded me of an old cabin at a resort. Outlets were somewhat challenging. Fortunately extension cords with multiple outlets were made available. The bedrooms are very small, so luggage was kept in the main cabin room. We did not have any problems with the wi-fi and Internet access. The beach area is nice and it was fun to walk out into the water (about 200-300 yards we were only at knee deep). You are unable to swim as the property is located on very shallow water. The property is long and narrow, so there are neighbors on either side, but the houses are located by the water while this property is located by the road. The neighbors on each side have No Tresspassing signs up down by the beach. I especially appreciate hosts that are pet friendly; allowing us to travel and see new areas as a family.Stacie was proactive in her communications and responded quickly when I couldn't find the code to the door for check-in. Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed our stay!

Overall, the quaint cottage on the sandy shores of Lake Michigan was a great place to relax for a few days. It was clean inside, and as expected was "rustic" with dated appliances and beds. Don't plan on dependable internet. The pictured swing by the fire is not usable, and because the lake is so low the beach is now overgrown and too shallow for swimming and boating for several hundred yards out into the lake. There are plenty of activities to do in the area.
