5/5 stars, we loved our stay. Very clean, very cozy with the quaint cottage vibe we were seeking. Great home base for day trips to the island and Petoskey/Harbor Springs area. Communication with the host Diana was wonderful and the provided snacks, water bottles and firewood were great to find after driving up from down state. Really loved sleeping out on the enclosed porch and hearing the loons. Would definitely stay here again!

Great place to stay! So clean, cute, and comfy. We loved the firepit outside and the fireplace inside. The view of the lake was beautiful, and it was only a few minutes from Mackinaw City. We would definitely stay there again!

Worry-free vacation

We didn’t have to worry about a single thing.Even when we accidentally locked ourselves out (our fault), the owner came to our rescue.Beds were comfortable, entire place was clean, view was perfect.

Family vacay

The location was perfect! Only minutes away to the ferry to Mackinac Island. The house was on the lake and very beautiful. We had plenty of room to hang out and play some games as a family. The house was clean and comfortable. It was just right for our time there. The local restaurant was very good, too!

Cozy, thoughtful details, VIEW, convenient location

My mom and I came up from southeastern Michigan to explore up north and the UP. Very savvy and thoughtful details throughout the cabin. Even in winter, the view of the lake is spectacular. It was so easy to explore and we loved coming back to relax every evening. We can’t wait to come again.
