Where were the 7 dwarves?
The Garden Cottage is simply magical and I truly did expect the 7 dwarves to come marching by, singing “Hi, ho,hi, ho, it’s off to work we go.” The cottage is charming and so is its owner, Dorina. She is very personable and helpful. We found the location to be great for the things we wanted to do in the area. The shower was great too!

Nice place
Loved Dorina's place - it was so chill and serene. We had a baby and a toddler with us and there was an extra living room downstairs that we could set up their bassinet and crib in which was perfect. Flowers for us in every room, bed was super comfortable and it had everything we needed - in particular, I appreciated having nice pots and pans to use - sometimes in vacation rentals these are just throwaway items from thrift stores, and it was so nice to have clean items. The place was absolutely charming!

Hidden Gem
If aesthetics matter to you you'll love this little cabin in the woods. Beautiful landscaping meets you upon arrival and welcomes you with a private experience thoughtfully put together. We enjoyed the shade and lake views while grilling dinner after a day of sun on the beach. It's a short 20 minute the Esch Beach for beautiful sunsets. Great time and would definitely stay again!

Splendid Stay!
The property is beautiful, relaxing and quiet. Flowers bloomed everywhere. Friendly dogs welcomed us and showed us to our doorstep. Woke up to the sounds of loons on the lake every morning. Comfy bed. Close to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Glen Arbor and Traverse City. Would 10/10 recommend to others.

About the host

Hosted by Dorina Rudd

Host profile image
Dorina, the cottage owner, is also the owner of Design Strategies. Her detail to decorating and interior design is as much a part of the cottage's enchantment as are the gardens. Her history is displayed throughout the property from days spent with her grandpa as a little girl to now raising her own family here. Coming to the cottage is like coming home again. Everyone seems to find a personal touch that stirs up a fond memory of their own childhood or past.
