Beautiful self contained secluded cottage with everything we needed for a 4 day break. This was perfect for my husband and myself and was close to Petoskey and Mackinac. Our hosts were friendly and helpful without being overbearing. Highly recommend!

Amazing little Cottage

This small cottage is cozy, clean and a bit off the beaten path. The scenery is absolutely stunning and it is not too far away from any activity but far enough away that you feel completely at peace. I have stayed at many B&Bs and this is by far one of the best. So clean and beautiful. I will definitely be staying there again!

Quiet Weekend

This was the perfect place for my partner and I to enjoy a weekend away in Northern Michigan. We spent one day on Mackinac Island, which was easy to get to from this location. Cute small cottage feel but with all the amenities you could want for a few days vacation.
