Our Family (human and fur babies) had a wonderful time at this cottage. It had a beautiful view of the river in the back which our dogs loved to play in. The host was very easy to communicate with. It had everything we needed to enjoy a much get away from the city. We had everything we needed as far as amenities go to have a stress free vacation. It was a great location between Ludington and Traverse city so we were able to go to both cities and hang out for the day.

The location and home were just beautiful. Perfect for me and my two dogs. My dogs enjoyed the river right in the back yard and watching the squirrels through the big windows and glass doors. I enjoyed the comfy living room and eating out on the balcony. It was so easy and relaxing. The check in instructions were easy to follow.

Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Our stay was very good. The river is very shallow, fishing is really nonexistent at this time of year. The area is very remote, travel times for a large grocery store is over 35 minutes. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Just be aware. The cabin is cute with WiFi that is solid. Small bar and grill five minutes away.Pet friendly policy is much appreciated.

This property is centrally located to all the outdoor activities that my group enjoys. (Golf, river rafting, casino)The view off the porch/living room is outstanding. My Frenchie laid on the porch for hours watching all the wildlife The cabin really felt like home with all the little details: couch blankets, lots of kitchen supplies, extra pillows on the bed.
