The home was perfect for us. The dogs enjoyed the fenced yard and the home is incredible. What a great cabin in the woods. Deer, turkey and various wildlife. We loved it.

AMAZING COTTAGE
We booked stargaze cottage as a getaway with one of our dogs for our anniversary. To say we were blown away would be an understatement. This property is INCREDIBLE! Clean, chic, welcoming, and fun! The owners are truly on this earth to show care and hospitality toward others. Every small detail you could think of had been planned for. Our border collie loved the property as well. We have already booked our second trip for this summer and plan to book for the fall as well!

Quiet Cottage with Nature
It was a great weekend at the Stargaze Cottage. The owners had everything set up so nicely. The place was extremely clean, and you can tell thought went into it all. Seeing the wild deer and turkey in the backyard was great. It was so relaxing and we hope to be back in the near future.

Perfect
Laura and Danny should be considered hosts of the century. Communication was easy and perfect. They were so generous with our stay. We arrived to snacks and a toy for our dog Penny! The house is amazing and so cozy. It was great to be able to bring our dog and not worry what the hosts think, they are super dog friendly. The house is as described and more. The big shower and heated bathroom floor was great. I was also excited to find a perfect cast iron pan to cook with. We’ve rented a lot of get aways and usually the cast iron is not so perfect. We normally stay off grid but this time we were still looking for quiet but didn’t need the solitude, while in a neighborhood, you feel like there are no neighbors, it was super quiet. We got to see deer every morning and night, some even visited us while we were having a camp fire. It was a great long weekend get away and will definitely consider coming back.

Hi, we are Laura & Danny Robertson~ blessed owners of Stargaze Cottage. We have been together since 1980! With so many things to do in Michigan, places to visit, restaurants to try, festivals to experience... not to mention the 4 beautiful seasons we get... in 2015 we decided to look for a little cottage to renovate centrally located in this wonderful state. We are loving everything about our little place and all the day trips we can take from here, from taking our dune buggy to the dunes and trails, shopping in traverse city, BBQ in Cadillac , even going up to the Mackinac bridge for an outing now & then. But truth be told... we enjoy the cottage itself the most. Riding our bikes through the neighborhood, taking the paddle boards down to the lake, relaxing on the porch and wow... that view of the stars at night! But after having a few family members and friends visit... we were told it is too wonderful to keep to ourselves ~ so we decided to share it! We really hope you all enjoy it as much as we do. I would let you know the best season to stay, but I think they are all equally enjoyable... Summer ~ yard games, cooking out, naps in the hammock.
Fall~ the colors of the trees, enjoying the firepit, walks through the bird sanctuary.
Winter~ the snow covered pines are picturesque, the icy lake is so peaceful, enjoying hot cocoa and board games in the evening in front of the tiny stove... and then
Spring~ sounds of birds & tree frogs fill the air as the season of renewed life returns. And truly... the night sky can be pretty spectacular, the Milkyway is visible at times, and we see shooting stars almost nightly. So whichever season you choose... we wish you wonderful adventures, time to relax and joyful experiences!
