Great spot in the Eastern UP. Very private, sandy beach, clean lake, comfortable place, fire pit. Fun yard and beach for dogs! We would 100% stay here again, Many cool places to visit within an hour drive. Scott Point beach is incredible and well worth the 25ish minute drive. Post-Labor day we had the entire beach to ourselves and our dogs for hours on two separate days.

You will not go wrong with this beauty! Communication, check in and response from Marianne was seamless! The house is perfect! It was clean, well kept and spacious! The view and waterfront property were absolutely amazing and the sunsets were mesmerizing! We enjoyed the peace and quiet while being about an hour from attractions! This was everything we were looking for and our only regret was not staying longer!

We absolutely loved our stay at this charming cottage. From the moment we arrived, it felt welcoming, peaceful, and beautifully cared for. The cottage was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed, making it easy to settle in and relax right away. Every detail—from the cozy furnishings to the lovely surroundings—made the visit feel special. Our host was responsive and helpful. The location was ideal for a quiet escape, and we especially appreciated the sense of privacy and calm. It was the perfect place to unwind, recharge, and enjoy time away. We would happily rent this cottage again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, memorable, and relaxing getaway.

Adventure and Relaxation

This house is perfect! Everything we wanted to see/do was within an hour or less. On days we weren't out and about we were able to relax and unwind. The house was spacious for all of us to have privacy or gather together. There are so many options available for activities at the house. The kitchen was well equipped as it had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and the view was spectacular. Definitely will stay again when in the area.

Hi

Beautiful house. On our first day, we were warmly welcomed by a flock of geese on the lake shore! A peaceful place, filled with the scent of pine trees. A perfect place to unwind from the city. Great location – an hour's drive to Picture Rock and an hour to Mackinaw Island. Thank you, Marianne, for the wonderful and prompt communication! We had a wonderful time! Thank you!

Perfect stay!

My friends and I rented this property for my birthday trip, most of us had never been to the UP before and this house was perfect! We loved the view as well as the built in speakers on the inside and outside of the house, we spent a lot of time out on the porch listening to music and talking. The bonfire pit was great as well, with the ability to grill on it which we did use! For my first time renting a vrbo, we had a great time! Our host was wonderful and very friendly, she responded to every message or call, and answered every question we had throughout our stay! I highly recommend renting this property. It was very secluded and private, as well as quiet and simply beautiful! :)

We had a wonderful time in the UP. The location was about an hour away from the highlights that were on our list, and the home and lake were a perfect place to return back to after a full day of hiking and swimming. I had two kids (4 and 1yo) who particularly enjoyed the sandy beach, canoe, and fire pit at the house. And the fast WiFi was also a plus! We would absolutely stay here again.
