We had such a nice week in this simple but comfortable cottage. It is clean and has everything you need to enjoy relaxing near the lake. The owners live a few doors down and are welcoming and responsive while also leaving plenty of space for you to do your own thing. We loved birdwatching on the dock in the mornings while drinking coffee, taking kayaks out on the lake which is very quiet for its size, reading books (and napping!) in the hammock, eating dinner on the tented patio, and sitting around the fire ring in the evenings. It was made all the better that we were able to have our dog with us too. All this, and just a 15 minute drive to downtown Traverse City, easy access to Sleeping Bear Dunes and the Lelanau Peninsula, and a variety of microbreweries in the area. Really a lovely spot and we're looking forward to our return!
