The tiny cottage was okay. Great location and walking distance to a nice restaurant. It is on a busy highway.

We stayed here last year and had no issues. This year, Direct tv did not work. I emailed the contact with no response. The sink in the bathroom was clogged and we could not run it to get warm.

Family was happy with the space. The only downside was the traffic noise and the bathroom needed some minor maintenance. The bathroom doorknob kept falling off and the toilet leaks around the bottom.

Father daughter fall trip

The cottage was a perfect fit for 3 adults. There's so much to see and do in neighboring towns. We specifically came for the tunnel of trees and seen more than we bargained for. The owner was very helpful and accommodating as we ran into some vehicle trouble our last day

Girls’ Weekend Getaway

Long weekend girls’ trip was a success at this quaint cabin. It’s a close drive to Petoskey and Harbor Springs with beach access at both. The lake nearby isn’t very deep at this spot so not very swim-able. But very peaceful. Kind neighbors. Great owner who gave tons of advice on hidden gems and places to stop. 30 min drive to Mackinaw City. It had everything we needed and was clean and cozy!

High School Reunion

Modernized. Clean. Comfortable beds/furniture. Clarify ‘directions’. Name of road not on any street signs. Actually is the highway (add that info!). Drove by x 2 looking for crossroad; property drive RIGHT OFF (two line) highway. Much traffic noise, daytime. Good restaurant across street. Group of cabins on pretty inland lake. One property building is ‘fish cleaning house’, so must be good fishing, here. 🐟

Weekend Color Tour

We arrived after dark. The entrance to the property doesn’t have a sign and is difficult to see at night. The cabin porch doesn’t have a light so finding the lock box was difficult with cell phone flashlight. It’s located inside the screen door on the door frame (hinge side) and painted the same color as the door frame. A porch light would definitely help! Once we settled in, the cabin was clean and comfortable.

We love staying here-- it is always clean, with close proximity to the Fish Hatchery (which is so fun to visit), Petoskey, and Harbor Springs! The hosts are most accommodating, and the cabin is perfect for a long weekend getaway! Will return! :)
