This 2 bedroom cottage home with a split bathroom to accommodate more guests at one time also has a sun porch room on front, living room with 2 comfy chairs, rocking chair, and couch. If you want to put up a small tent you can use the back lawn. Also has nice front lawn with sun and shade. The cottage colors are soft greens, tans and browns. Nice sized deck off back which guests love relaxing on while bikers bike down trail and sliders to back deck great for entertaining or relaxing while cooking on the grill or watching the fire. Fire pit in back yard has grill grate for cooking also and has chairs for sitting around the circle. Wood for fires is free and provided behind shed. Cottage is decorated in a cottage lake and woods theme. Kitchen is fully equipped with table in dining area seating 4 comfortably and 3 more at the bar with new bar stools overlooking the living room. Enjoy the Keurig coffee maker. Feel free to bring your own favorite Keurig coffee k cups or local store has them. Small selection of movies are available under television.

Favorite places to visit are Petoskey for shopping and dining at Pappa Lous, Shandlers or the Noggin Room under the Perry Hotel or walk the bike trail to The House of Pies or 4 doors down the bike trail the other way is Northwoods Restaurant. Also, Harbor Springs is great for shopping and dining at 'The Pier Restaurant' and others or ice cream at Turkeys cafe. Just north of Harbor Springs is Pond Hill Farms which is a seasonally themed learning farm with petting animals and seasonal gifts like fall or Christmas related items for sale along with a mostly natural food store. A must visit is Bay Harbor, about a 20 min drive. It is a new beautifully planed resort community with biking trails, yachts, beautiful homes, more shopping, restaurants like The Pancake House, The KNOT restaurant and a new Civic Theater and more. Under 30 min north on US-31 is Mackinaw City and Mackinaw Island. Both are top U.S. visited drive to tourist must see destinations with shopping, sight seeing, dining, movie theater, boating and of course experiencing Mackinaw island. Try the Pasties in Mackinaw City or just walk to all the shops and restaurants. Also, biking around Mackinac Island is amazing on a warm summer day! If weather is not cooperating there is a newer bowling alley near the Harbor Springs Airport with a restaurant thats open late called The Sassy Loon. Starting in Harbor Springs, go for a beautiful quiet relaxing drive along the coast on 'Scenic Drive' which is labeled with signs or go about 45 min SW of the Cottage just down US31 past Bay Harbor to Charlevoix. It is located on Lake Charlevoix and Lake Michigan with more shops, dining, boating and is a cute town also. A nice restaurant there with a view of both lakes and the channel is The Weather Vane Restaurant.

So if you want to relax at the cabin or sight see be our guest. Contact Rob for more information.

About the host

Hosted by Rob or Beth

Host profile image
We love to travel, boat, entertain friends and family, visit new destinations, explore, go on cruise and land vacations, find great deals, read self development books and help others have fun, make money and make a difference.

Why they chose this property

We have friends in the area and love Northern Michigan for a get away to visit all the towns, lakes, islands, restaurants, shops, beaches and boating etc... :) It is our favorite place to relax and get away. There is so much to do but we also enjoy just staying in and making food in the cottage.

What makes this property unique

Relaxing, boating, beaches, restaurants, Mackinaw Island, Bay Harbor, Parks, Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Charlevoix and sight seeing. We also, like the fact that you can walk to Northwoods restaurant just a couple hundred feet away and also walk to the Pie backery on the other end of the park in front of the cottage. Also, you can put in a kayak or canoe at Crooked Lake only about 1000 ft diagonally away from the front door. The newly paved bike path in back is great too for biking all the way to Petoskey State Park Beach or walking. Also for some reason, I have had the best steaks ever on the open fire pit grill in back. Cooking over the fire is great.
