Cute little Cottage

This truly was a cute little cottage and we absolutely loved all the special touches that were available to us. The Firefly cottage was adorable and so well put together. My mother in law lives local so it was a perfect place to allow our family to hang out together. The only thing I found disappointing was that we were on the lake and it really wasn’t the lake experience I thought we would have. We really couldn’t swim. I had hoped to be able to float and hang out more in the water. No where does it say that it is good swimming but I guess I just assumed since there were kayaks and a dock. We went out for the day to a beautiful beach and visited Traverse City which was about 1 1/2 hours away. In the end it all worked out. Other than that I would say this truly was a successful rental. We would stay again.

This cottage is amazingly cozy and adorable. It is gorgeous inside with a fireplace that makes it so homey. Wendy has everything you would ever need during your stay. We loved fishing from the dock and kayaking. The location is quiet, beautiful and picturesque! Wendy is very responsive if you need anything. We will definitely go back!

Weekend stay

We enjoyed our stay even with rain most of the full day we were there. Host was great and property was as described. Roads to property were rough but worth it to get to the Firefly Cottage. Fishing was not great for us but likely due to weather not location. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Fabulous!

Visited the area to take my nieces on a trip down the river and wow, what a perfect location for our needs. Beautiful scenery out the back, incredible amount of classy touches inside to make your stay memorable, very clean and well-appointed. Wendy was a wonderful host and left several goodies for us to enjoy and for the girls to play with. Completely exceeded my expectations in every way and we would stay again in a heartbeat . Thank you!

Peaceful Getaway

Lovely place- clean, thoughtfully put together with generous extra treats as well. Beautiful views and direct river access on a lake-like section (near a dam) with use of owners kayaks. Wendy and Mike are kind and responsive hosts. We plan to return!
