We had a great stay in cabin 5. The lake was beautiful, and the house had everything we needed. Peter was excellent at communicating instructions and answering questions.

A nice cabin on the lake for the weekend for the price of a hotel room in town.

Cottage #5 was very clean and cozy! The host, Peter, went above and beyond to make us feel right at home. The water was right outside our door and there was plenty of water toys to share with the neighbors. The cottage was right down the road from many desirable entertainment spots, beautiful beaches, fishing, and trails. Would definitely recommend this spot and we will be back!

Cottage 5 was clean and tidy. Peter, the host, was very responsive. The cottage had everything that we needed. The lake view was gorgeous. We went kayaking at sunset one evening on the glassy smooth lake. We would definitely love to come back again.

This place is paradise! Very updated, comfortable, and perfectly clean and stocked with everything you could need! And it’s right on the lake with kayaks and rowboats included! Truly awesome! The property is shared by other guests but everyone is quiet, friendly, and respectful. And what’s really exceptional is the owner Peter. He always responds right away and is very helpful and friendly! We would love to come back!

Great communications with host & very prompt to solve issues or answered questions. SUP, kayaks, row boats & lilly pad provided were big deciding factors for us. We had a great time enjoying these amenities.

Quick Family trip

The paddle boards and canoes on the lake made the trip really fun for teenagers. Right on a nice lake so it’s shallow enough to explore and also swim out deeper and much warmer than Lake Michigan which is close enough to drive back and forth from easily.

Nice cottage

Nice small cottage on quiet lake. Family enjoyed the outside activities: kid kayaks, paddle boards, floating raft, lily pad and fire pit. Water is warm and shallow, nice for younger kids. Close enough to local sights. Comfortable beds. AC worked well. Would come again.

Father's day vacation

We loved our stay. We visited Frankfort and went to Sleeping Bear which was a 40 min drive away. The rest of the time we spent on the lake and enjoyed Kayaking. We had to share with other people but they where all really nice. That wasnt an issue at all. Overall we plan to come back again next year.

Perfect weekend getaway

Had a great stay. Went up for the fall colors and checked out a couple lighthouses and was close to town. Since Mother Nature didn't cooperate, we didn't really use the lake or property.

great spot on lovely lake

Newly updated (and not quite fully outfitted) very nice place. Small bedrooms but comfortable beds. Nice kitchen and living room with Roku TV and beautiful view of lake. Excellent internet. But best of all are the kayaks and assorted boats and outdoor lounging furniture, including a dock and a foam pad out on the lake. This part of the lake is very shallow--we walked out to the foam pad to hang out there. Very nice hiking nearby and very close to Lake Michigan. Beautiful sunsets. Host quickly responded to a call when needed.

Relaxing and recreational

Great cottage to visit the area, bike ride on the Betsie trail, see light houses, alpaca farm or heading to Frankfort for dinner or sit by the lake. Nice lake view from cottage, quiet, very comfortable, everything new. Already mentioned to owner some suggestions. Was able to grill and enjoy eating outside. Our cottage was attached to another and no one was in the other for 2 nights, after others arrived, it wasn’t as quiet, but that was our last night, so it was manageable. We would definitely come back to this location.

Summer vacation

Nicely updated and clean. Enjoyed many of the amenities onsite; kayaking, grilled out, sat on the deck to watch sunset and gaze at the multitude of stars in the night sky. We were very close to other points of interest; Frankfort, Crystal Lake, Beulah, Sleeping Bear dunes, Traverse City and many sandy beaches to choose from. I highly recommend this location, we felt nothing was lacking in our little cabin for the week. They even added more dock and seating while we were there. We do have one request of the owners, think about adding a fire pit for evening smores. Thank you for your attention to the little things, this made out trip enjoyable.

Beautiful cabin right on the lake. Cabins are brand new inside and amazing!

We had a wonder full time in this cabin. Easy check in and out. Everything was clean, beautiful and pretty well brand new. Plenty of kayaks and paddle boards for everyone. Thank you to our hosts for the lovely accommodations.
