Stunning!
We took a girls trip and this home was even better in person than the photos. The open concept made hangouts and dinners so much more enjoyable. The home was fully stocked with anything and everything you could ever think of! This home was very clean and very comfortable. The views were perfect, we loved hanging out on the black lounge chairs. The paddleboat was so awesome and we all had so many laughs while using it. The kitchen was a dream to cook meals in. The only thing missing was some garlic powder, haha! Bryan, the owner was very kind and allowed an earlier check in for us. He was available at any moment to answer my questions via text while we were at the property. He was super accommodating and we even had a nice surprise of goodies one morning from a local shop in town! Those small touches really made this owner stand out. Thank you Bryan for a lovely stay and allowing us to make some amazing memories in your home!

Great cottage
This is our second stay at this cottage and we absolutely love it. The cottage is beautiful and it comes with a lot of amenities. The owner is very nice and understanding. My only feedback is related to the bathroom upstairs, it could really use some work and updates.

Summer Fun
We have stayed at rhis location multiple times and always enjoy our visit. Bring your bike if you can or try one of the host's bikes (bring your helmet) since there are plenty of places to ride vs drive. Host is great - very responsive. This year we tried 2 new places for day trips - Rockport Recreation area off Rt 23 is a large state park with 2 entrances and different "attractions" at ea section of the park. North section we walked a loop that takes you on the shore of lake Huron, saw a little boat wrexk in the lagoon, and thru a section of virgin pine. Then drove to the south entrance to trek up the quarry slag piles, and bike to the sinkhole "old sink" (note that this is best w a bike suited for terrain and is an athletic vs leisure ride - we brought our own gear). Another find is Besser Museum with local history, art, natural history ourdoor displays and a really cool planetarium. Definitely plan to do a planetarium show on your visit. Lots to do around this cottege. We love it here!

Greatest host ever
This is the best ever host we have ever encountered. Bryan has everything you needed to enjoy your stay. It’s evident this is a spot he and his family also use and he knows what is needed for a home away from home.

Beautiful lake cottage
This was our first time on the Sunrise side of Michigan and I was not sure of what to expect. The home was very open with lots of windows and comfortable.It is well stocked and had everything we needed. Bryan was always available and a great host. The weather was unpredictable and foggy but we got a few days on the lake and it was beautiful. The Lake is a perfect size for skiing, tubing and kayaking. There is also a small beach area with a fire pit and we finally got to build a fire on the last day. We did a few day trips to Petoskey and Mackinac Island which were fun and Alpena is a nice town about 30 minutes away. It was a good week to disconnect and enjoy time with the family! Thank you Bryan and Angie
