Loved our return stay!

This up north cottage is perfect for our family of 3! Great location for all things Sleeping Bear Dunes. We love launching off from here each day for our adventures, and then returning to kick back and relax in the recliners and have dinner!

What a lovely cabin for our visit to Sleeping Bear! Everything we had read online about the cabin is correct-- clean, updated and perfectly located. This may well be one of the most well appointed units we have ever rented. The host is friendly, helpful and quick to respond to questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. My favorite part of Cozy Cottage is all of the windows. Even inside, you are surrounded by woods. We hope to return!

Awesome cabin great location

The cabin was so beautiful and in such an awesome location. We loved Peterson Beach which is right down the street. The cabin was very clean and updated. It had everything we were looking for. We really enjoyed our stay and the host was very responsive and even let us come in earlier than expected so it worked out perfectly! Thank you so much!

This cottage was super cute and the location was great. It was almost right between the Sleeping Bear Dunes and Frankfort. There is a canoe rental place just down the road. The cottage was super clean and comfortable. Jerry was very friendly, responsive and helpful with suggestions and tips for the area. We would definitely stay here again.

Best VRBO stay ever.

We have stayed in many VRBO properties. This was our best yet. Jerry was excellent in his communication and he has clearly thought of everything. Plenty of cooking supplies, games outdoors, and great instructions. The property gave us easy access to beaches, canoeing, and hiking. It’s rural so grocery shopping can be a slight challenge. The property was super clean and well maintained. Thanks for a great stay.

Quiet and Cozy

The cottage was immaculately clean and well taken care of. We particularly enjoyed the kitchen which has everything we needed along with some additional conveniences which aren’t typical of short-term rentals (blender, etc…)The bed was comfortable, but the bedroom doesn’t have a lot of space for two adults. We also think the backdoor window and bathroom window could use coverings or frostings for increased privacy. We enjoyed quiet mornings with coffee on the porch. Everything worked out well with our stay and Jerry was very easy to communicate with!

Exactly what you are looking for.

This place is the perfect up north stay thats located close to a lot of amazing sights and fun cities. We felt secluded but not far from anything at the same time. Everything was clean, seemed very recently undated, and the owner was quick to communicate. 10/10 would definitely stay here again

Great stay

We enjoyed our stay at this cozy cottage. The location was convenient to Sleeping Bear Dunes and local towns. We hiked, went beachcombing and shopping In Frankfort, Empire and Glen Arbor. The cottage had one of the best supplied kitchens of all the VRBOs we've stayed inand was very clean on our arrival. Very responsive host. Highly recommended.
