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!

Very clean little cottage. The Host lives on the same property, maybe 100 yards from the cottage. Although, it wasn’t a problem. No wifi or TV. Very small shower if you a bigger person I don’t know how it would work. Overall great stay, and great location! Would stay again.

Cute little cottage

Cute and cozy stay. the cottage was the perfect size for a weekend getaway with my bestie. Bed was comfy, water was hot, no complaints about the cottage. We loved being able to sip coffee on the porch and look at the cows grazing in the field. Close to harbor springs and petoskey. Only thing that surprised us a little was the proximity of the other buildings, we were surrounded by a house, 2 story 2 car garage, shed, and another cottage, whereas I thought we were going to be a little more isolated. Otherwise perfect stay!
