About this property
Adventures in the Northwoods
Our cottage is a base camp from which you can enjoy the beauty of the northwoods in Upper Peninsula Michigan. Plan your summer get-away fishing, kayaking, canoeing, or ATVing. Venture out to view the numerous waterfalls, hike the Ottawa National Forest or Sylvania Wilderness, drive through the Keweenaw peninsula or tour Pictured Rocks. Autumn is the time to take fall color tours: Black River and the Porcupine Mountain as well as hunting. In the winter, snowmobile, ice fish, downhill or cross-country ski, snowshoe and hike. The UP and all its wonders are awaiting you.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Alison & John Oliver
Although John and Alison lived in Illinois, they have been coming to the Watersmeet area to camp, snowmobile, and discover the beautiful and rugged sights of the upper peninsula for 25 yrs. During the latter part of that time, they were able to purchase a cottage in Watersmeet as a base camp for their year-round activities.
They have retired and made another location in Watersmeet their permanent home. With so many wonderful memories of activities done with friends and family at their cottage, they decided to open it to others to enjoy the amenities of the region too.
They want to thank their previous guests for maintaining and leaving the house so clean. The respect given to the property is appreciated.

Why they chose this property
Initially, the woods and nature drew us to camp here in the Ottawa National Forest. We kayaked and canoed the clear lakes. Winters we snowmobiled. After about 18 years driving from Illinois to the UP for weekends, we purchased this Little House as a second home since we already spent so much time here. Additional benefits were the serenity, the quiet, and the friendly people that have settled here. Culturally, residents are involved in arts, crafts, Northwood's interests as making maple syrup, producing plays and music. As we approached retirement, we already knew the UP was where we wanted to be. Finally, we retired and settled into a small home on a lake, and now rent the Little House.
We are still discovering even more places and activities. With the Little House, we hope others can visit this area and enjoy the Northwoods as much as we do.
