The cabin is very quaint and cozy with everything we needed located in a multi-sport paradise. The lake in fall was beautiful. The summer motor boats were all gone, and we enjoyed kayaking around Oden Island (walked the trails there too, nice little hike). We also kayaked to Pickerel Lake and watched a bald eagle eat lunch (brought our own boats). There is a paved bike path nearby which made for great E-bike excursions- to the fish hatchery and from Petosky to Charlevoix, enjoying the fall tree color and red berries of Michigan holly. There are lots of opportunities to hike locally in nature preserves with nice trails. Several wineries were still open on weekends. Things to know about the cabin: the bed is surrounded on 3 sides with walls (small space) but very comfortable, lots of linens provided. The location on a state highway means you do hear road noise- we still slept peacefully (I use an earplug and the traffic decreases at night). The bathroom is tiny as well and appears to be relatively unheated (we couldn’t get the floor heater to work in there) but has a skylight and lots of hot water. Appreciated access to washer and dryer. Great lake view, stars at night and pretty sunrises. Functional little fire caldron and wood provided for evening marshmallow roasting. Host was accessible by cell phone and easy to communicate with. Overall a great stay!
