We had an incredibly peaceful stay at the cottage. It’s close enough to Traverse City for the amenities, which is great! But nothing beats a bonfire on the beach while enjoying the lake. We will definitely stay here again!

Very Cute ideal get away for having a outdoor and traverse city experience. My Husband and I loved going on the Kyacks and we felt like we had the whole lake to ourselves! The perfect amount of room for a couple of a party of 4. The host was very sweet and responsive as well.

I was overall happy with the place. It was perfect for me amd my husband. The shower is very difficult to use due to the size, but i figured that would be the case based on the pictures. The only thing I would suggest is making sure all linens on the bed are clean. There was a suspicious stain on the comforter.
