What a lovely cabin for our visit to Sleeping Bear! Everything we had read online about the cabin is correct-- clean, updated and perfectly located. This may well be one of the most well appointed units we have ever rented. The host is friendly, helpful and quick to respond to questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. My favorite part of Cozy Cottage is all of the windows. Even inside, you are surrounded by woods. We hope to return!

Exactly what you are looking for.

This place is the perfect up north stay thats located close to a lot of amazing sights and fun cities. We felt secluded but not far from anything at the same time. Everything was clean, seemed very recently undated, and the owner was quick to communicate. 10/10 would definitely stay here again

Great stay

We enjoyed our stay at this cozy cottage. The location was convenient to Sleeping Bear Dunes and local towns. We hiked, went beachcombing and shopping In Frankfort, Empire and Glen Arbor. The cottage had one of the best supplied kitchens of all the VRBOs we've stayed inand was very clean on our arrival. Very responsive host. Highly recommended.

Perfect Location & Accommodations

This cabin was just right for our family of 4. The kids slept on the futon couches in the living room and it suited us very well. The cabin was fresh, clean and very convenient. The location was excellent - very close to many beautiful points of interest. It was also very well stocked - wood for the campfire, toasting forks for roasting marshmallows, coffee maker, toaster, dishwasher and many other small touches that really impressed us!!! We will definitely book this cabin next time we visit this beautiful area of Michigan!

Long weekend getaway

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was a perfect fit for us. We liked the wooded lot and quiet location, yet it allowed easy access to all of the things we wanted to do. We visited Sleeping Bear Dunes at multiple locations to hike, beachcomb, and enjoy the Fall colors. Frankfurt and Empire were not far away. The cottage had all of our needs covered. We really enjoyed the fireplace. The property description is accurate and we highly recommend it.

Cool cabin

The owner of the property has done a complete update to this smallish "cabin" in a forest setting near Platte Lake. It has a very well equipped kitchen including coffee and a few basic condiments. A new washer and dryer also came in bery handy. Outside it feels like a wooded campsite away from the road. There's a propane grill, a fire pit and outdoor furniture. The location is near Crystal Lake, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Frankfort, so there's lots to enjoy in the area. We enjoyed our stay.

This cottage was super cute and the location was great. It was almost right between the Sleeping Bear Dunes and Frankfort. There is a canoe rental place just down the road. The cottage was super clean and comfortable. Jerry was very friendly, responsive and helpful with suggestions and tips for the area. We would definitely stay here again.

Awesome cabin great location

The cabin was so beautiful and in such an awesome location. We loved Peterson Beach which is right down the street. The cabin was very clean and updated. It had everything we were looking for. We really enjoyed our stay and the host was very responsive and even let us come in earlier than expected so it worked out perfectly! Thank you so much!
