Great place in MI

Had a great stay, dogs loved having a fenced in back yard to run around in and sunning on the deck. Great view of Lake Michigan. It was in a convenient location and within driving distance to many places.

Great property, very thoughtfully furnished. Kitchen wonderfully stocked with a lot of breakfast items including farm fresh eggs and sausages, which we enjoyed. Lots of helpful information about the house and nearby attractions. Only downside is the lack of a second shower stall, which could be inconvenient for a large family.

Great place!!

We greatly enjoyed our overnight stay. This place has a quiet location that has easy access to nearby activities/businesses. The stocked kitchen is definitely a bonus for travelers, as it really helped that we didn’t need to stop and pick up anything for breakfast or to drink. The place is tastefully decorated and comfortable. Highly recommend!! Would definitely stay again if we need lodging in the area.

It was my first vacation rental experience. It may be the best I'll ever have! Every detail was thought of, from the kitchen and the food and drinks that came stocked to the towels yo the chargers next to the bed - all of which were very comfy. The decor was spectacular UP Cottage but also felt modern and functional. The front porch view off the master was very nice. I did not use the backyard but it had everything , fire pit, fish cleaning station, etc. I rode an old Schwinn cruiser which was one of 4 bikes that came with the property. The tires were new and it moved like a dream. Parking was ample. I did not get a chance to meet Tony and his pair of sweet dogs in person, but communication was awesome! I was sad to leave. Thank you Tony, I hope we can come back one day!!

Great place to stay!

Home was very nicely equipped with everything you might need - uniquely decorated and very comfortable for 4-6 people. We anticipated having to go to the grocery store but everything we needed was there (condiments, bread, fruit, drinks, breakfast foods, and choice of farm fresh or organic eggs). Nicely done Tony…thank you for the wonderful stay! Wish we could have stayed longer than two days!
