Perfect Weekend Getaway

My family and I had a great time at the nest. The house has been remodeled and updated and is very cozy. The house is also situated on a private and wooded lot with beautiful views. The beds were comfy, and the sheets were soft. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals for a large group and the large kitchen table was perfect too. We would definitely stay here again.

Christmas in Cedar

Our family decided to do a little Northern Pre-Christmas. This updated farmhouse was amazing in every aspect. We were pleasantly surprised with the size of every room and extra spaces. The cleanliness, decor, amenities, all top notch. It was the perfect degree of seclusion. Close enough to town and the main road, other homes to be seen yet space in between. We will definitely plan on visiting again!

Sweet Farmhouse

Sweet farmhouse, beautifully appointed while maintaining a cozy vibe. The View of the country road and meadow was amazing. Located right off a rolling country road at the base of the peninsula, short drives to TC, Empire and Suttons Bay. Hosts provided detailed guidebook for eats, hikes and were quick to follow up on questions. Thank you .
