Quick ski vacation
Had a wonderful time! It was very nice how well it was stocked and we were very comfortable. The stairs at the entrance were a little unstable looking so we were careful when using them. Otherwise it was great. Would recommend!

The trip was great. The cottage was the perfect location for an up north trip. We tried to fish in the river and went charter fishing out of Traverse city. We did notice a the railing down the steps to the dock was lose, as well as the dock being partly off the foundation. The cornhole boards were also damaged before we arrived.

Everything was great!
We loved this place! Everything was smooth and easy, and we were pleasantly surprised to find the basketball hoop upon arrival. The stair to the river were nice, although the means to actually get into the river were a little dicey. That platform on the bottom seemed in need of repair, and we weren't comfortable using it much.....seemed like it was read to go into the river. We booked this place with that as a key feature, as one of the guys in our group was a little older and not able to climb in and out of the river without some help. Besides that river access challenge, everything was great. Cool house, deck, fire pit, and everything was as-promised from the descriptions, if not better than described! Thanks for hosting our group at your place.....we had an excellent time!
