We loved our stay at this cozy little house on the lake! The location is unbeatable - just steps to the water with kayaks ready to go. Mornings on the deck with a cup of coffee and that beautiful lake view were pure magic. Perfect spot for a peaceful getaway and easy outdoor fun.

This home is incredibly peaceful and, obviously, located directly on the waterfront. I was very comfortable there and even though time is always too short on vacation, it began to feel like home. I would definitely recommend.

A really nice week!

Good location -- we like to visit Traverse City and the towns like Frankfort on the Lake Michigan coast, which are not too far away. But at night we have the quiet lake and campfire, with good stargazing. Enjoyed paddleboarding, kayaking and fishing on the beautiful lake.

Updates Needed

The location on the lake was beautiful and the neighbors were all very nice. The owner was also very responsive however, the cabin its self needed a lot of updates. The overall vibe in the cabin was dingy and overall feeling of being dirty.

Hi there! I’m sorry you felt this way. As the photos very clearly show, this is an older cottage. Additionally, it is professionally cleaned between guests. If there was something specific that was dirty, we would have sent them back out for you had you reached out.

it was our dream trip back to a beloved childhood place

As kids, my brother and I had spent many many summers at our grandparents' house on that lake. It was and is SUCH a gem and we wanted to relive it since their house is very sadly no longer in the family, and we hadn't been there in many decades. It was a dream to rent a house on the same road, and to take our parents who also had a huge attachment to it as well. It was everything we imagined and hoped for. The owners were wonderful as well and we are so grateful for the opportunity to spend time on the same road and lake right down the road from a place that had felt like home to use our entire childhood.

Nice. Description Accuracte

We had a nice stay at this property. I thought the house was just as described in the listing. The owners were quick to respond to any questions I had. We washed clothes and dishes at night to avoid running out of hot water. The owners were generous with towels and supplies which was refreshing. There were a lot of bugs in the house, especially upstairs were my kids were sleeping so I had to spray them every night before they went to sleep. And this is no reflection of the owners but the lake had swimmers itch, and some of us got it. However, we still made the most of the water by using the kayaks and paddle board provided. And we tried to swim in the deeper water. Overall it was a nice trip.

Hi Amy! Glad you had a great stay. Thanks for letting us know about the swimmers itch. I gave our future renters a heads up. To be clear though, it can happen in ANY lake depending on the conditions. Avoiding super shallow water (near the sea wall) and entering the lake using the ladder at the end of the dock should avoid it. About the bugs, I’m guessing a door was left open because we’ve never had issues with mosquitoes/bugs inside the cottage unless doors are left open.

Great little cabin and location on a lake

We had a great stay at this cabin. The views are FANTASTIC. We would have loved to experience the kayaks, fire pit, and sitting on the deck, but weather prohibited it. The TV didn’t catch many channels and the dirt road needed maintenance, but those are the only small negatives. The owners were available by phone and very responsive. I would highly recommend this place.

Great lake experience

Some of the lake’s best fishing is located straight out from the dock, and we also really enjoyed kayaking and stargazing at night. The sunrises from the porch view, or sunsets from the dock view, were great. Close enough to Traverse and Lake Michigan to do fun day trips, too.

Overall Very Good!

Was a good location. Beautiful lake with fantastic sunrises and sunsets. House was good; a comfy stay with plenty of room for our fam of 5. Host was great and very fast with communication. The only downfall was we all got swimmer’s itch. So did our neighbors. The water is shallow all around the dock and beyond, which is great for little ones swimming, yet not great for swimmer’s itch. We tried to prevent with topicals and still each ended up getting it to some degree. This is zero fault of the host of course, yet a bummer and important factor in our overall experience to share.

Property offers beautiful views of the lake. You can stay there and enjoy the lake or venture out to see the many attractions in the area. We visited Sleepin Bear, Traverse city, Leland, wineries, lighthouse and many other local attractions. This area of the country is beautiful and the upper great lakes are amazing.

Quiet Lake Cottage

Great Cottage for families, the lake is very quiet, clean and shallow. The kids had a wonderful time fishing, catching crayfish and kayaking. The cottage is close to 3 restaurants and a grocery in town, also close to Traverse city and the Sleeping Bear Dunes for day trips or a meal

About the host

Hosted by Marissa & Brian

Host profile image

We live in East Grand Rapids, MI and spend as much time up north as possible!

Why they chose this property

We purchased our cottage because Northern Michigan is a magical place. We both have such great memories of going "up north" as kids and wanted to make sure our daughter experienced the same. Interlochen is a sleepy little town away from the hustle and bustle of Traverse City, but still close enough to enjoy the shopping and restaurants. It's also a great base for excursions like Sleeping Bear Dunes or a trip over to Fish Town in Leland. In the winter, we ski at Crystal Mountain which is only 12 miles away.
