Escape to a cute and cozy cottage in Traverse City. This 500 square foot, 1-bedroom retreat offers a cozy living room with a comfy futon for flexible sleeping arrangements. The bedroom has a brand new comfy queen bed. The bathroom is clean and also, cozy, but functional. Our place is fun-sized but it is fully stocked with linens, towels, kitchen necessities, smart TV, futon, two comfy chairs, and small kitchen table.

We had an incredibly peaceful stay at the cottage. It’s close enough to Traverse City for the amenities, which is great! But nothing beats a bonfire on the beach while enjoying the lake. We will definitely stay here again!

Very Cute ideal get away for having a outdoor and traverse city experience. My Husband and I loved going on the Kyacks and we felt like we had the whole lake to ourselves! The perfect amount of room for a couple of a party of 4. The host was very sweet and responsive as well.

I was overall happy with the place. It was perfect for me amd my husband. The shower is very difficult to use due to the size, but i figured that would be the case based on the pictures. The only thing I would suggest is making sure all linens on the bed are clean. There was a suspicious stain on the comforter.

Thanks for the review! The comforter had just been washed but I understand your concern. All linens and towels were freshly washed. Thanks for staying with us!
