Summer fun

We really enjoyed our stay, Kayaked, paddle boarded, floated on the water, It was very peaceful. We did bring a memory foam mattress topper because we remembered from last year the bed feeling pretty firm and that helped a lot. The house was well stocked with what you need in the kitchen, except for a frying pan - a quick text to the property manager resolved the issue immediately. i highly recommend this property and would stay again.

Great Summer Getaway

We had a great time staying in this cottage. The cottage is very well stocked and equipped. The owners have thought of everything. We enjoyed the lake, the fire pit and the nice deck. It was an added benefit that our dog Moxie could join us on our summer vacation. Overall a great getaway.

Great place for a quiet and relaxing vacation.

Wonderful place for a family vacation. The house was very clean and stocked. We enjoyed swimming in the lake, which was clear and seaweed free. The lake is pretty quiet and the views are beautiful. Downtown Petoskey is only 15-20 min away. We will definitely be back!

Very relaxing

Very clean home in a very quiet neighborhood. The back was a plus with tons of open land so there were lots of deer to look. The fire pit was very large and peaceful to sit around looking out at the lake.

Beautiful lakeside home

Met all expectations. It was just as described on site. It was especially nice that linens were provided Great base location enabled easy access to Mackinac island, Petoskey, Charlevoix, Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Harbor Springs, Torch Lake etc. We enjoyed the fire pit and also swimming in the lake from the dock.
