It was okay. The floor was sandy but over all it was pretty clean. The beds were really comfortable. Are main reason for staying here was the beach but that was a let down and we ended up driving to the state park to spend the day at that beach.

We're glad to hear you found the cabin comfortable, clean overall and especially enjoyed the beds. We're sorry the beach didn't meet your expectations. Our smaller sandy beachfront is a natural inland lake setting, which offers a different experience than the beaches on the bay. We appreciate you staying with us and hope to have the opportunity to host you in the future!

Awesome place for glamping with friends!

Cabin #4 was amazing. Had all the comforts of home combined with all the fun of camping. The owners were incredibly easy to reach, super friendly and answered all my questions quickly. Overall an awesome place to stay and I’d highly recommend!

Quick Getaway

Great little place for our family of five for a quick up north getwaway. House was clean and fresh and cozy. Nice view of lake from porch. Only comment is parking was on a slope and not ideal but it was doable.

Modern cabin with everything you need!!

Awesome stay! Beautiful location with a modern cabin! All new appliances, larger bedrooms PLUS everything you need to have that home away from home feeling. We used this property as a home base while exploring Traverse City (about 13 min away) and Sleeping Bear Dunes ( about 50 min away). Would love to stay longer next time and explore the beautiful lake with one of the pontoon rentals! 5/5 stay and will be returning!!!

Peace and Quiet

A decent place. Beds were comfy . Appliances all new. Could use more towels. AC worked great. Very quiet area. If you want to avoid traffic and crowds this is the place. Lake is beautiful.

Wonderful Stay #4

We stayed in cabin #4. Beautiful view off the deck looking out over the lake. Cabin was clean and just what we expected based on the accurate pictures. We brought our own kayaks, however they have kayaks you can use. We rented a pontoon to enjoy the beautiful clear lake. Would definitely stay there again. Only suggestion would be to have cleaning stuff available, such as a broom and dustpan to keep up on the sand that gets tracked in.

Very Very Disappointed with area

We did not feel safe in the area at all. Also the area was surrounded by construction materials & not very nice cabins. Absolutely not a vacation area. We did not stay at the property. We asked for a refund & the property owner refused. I will be contacting my cc company to dispute the charges.
