Waking up to beauty

The cottage was everything we needed for a short stay. The location was both central to downtown and far enough from downtown to be absolutely stunning.

Quiet weekend away

We came to stay for our anniversary weekend and we had a great time! The place was perfect for us to stay in and play board games and spend some quality time together. Also, you're only two minutes away from Moomers ice cream, bonus!!

Cabin on a lake

The cabin was great. It was exactly as advertised. The best part of it was the view from the front window. It was such a peaceful setting on a lake. We enjoyed the Grand Traverse lighthouse, the Old Mission lighthouse, and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. We would stay there again.

Peaceful Cabin Getaway On a Beautiful Lake

We stayed at the cabin for 4 nights in May 2025. Absolutely loved the property and the cabin. The interior was very comfy, a perfect spot to unwind after a long day of hiking and exploring the surrounding area. Katie was very attentive and fast to respond to messages. We definitely plan to return!
