This place is exactly as advertised! It was perfect for our weekend retreat and had all the necessary amenities. The dock was delightful and the sound of loons on the lake at dusk was a highlight. Communications was a breeze and the hosts were delightful when we came across them. Would certainly recommend this property for a relaxing getaway for a couple!

My wife and I stayed here for our fifth anniversary, and I must say, it was perfect. It's far enough from town that you get to enjoy the city, but close enough that it is not a hassle to get in early. The area is quiet, the lake is beautiful, and the fire pit was perfect to enjoy a cigar on the dock. We weren't really present much during the weekend, but the interactions we had with Mike and Maureen were pleasant, as were the interactions with the neighbor. If you're looking for a quiet getaway, I highly recommend this spot!

This tiny house was just what I needed for my conference at Grand Traverse Resort. The commute was short, and coming home after long days to the peaceful lake and dock was good for the soul. If you are a bike rider, this is super close to the VASA trails, which are great fun. Thanks for the hospitality!

An Impeccably spotless and well-maintained property! Wonderful hosts Mike and Maureen; had the pleasure of a nice chat with Mike one morning. Everything is first-class...fantastic HVAC and water system, crisp and attractive decor, and plenty of homey touches throughout, including an incredibly comfortable bed.
