We loved our stay at this cute cottage! It had everything we needed. It was close enough to beaches and attractions, but not too close to the hustle and bustle of downtown. The beds were very comfortable! We would come back!

It was pretty good. Basic, but very clean, with everything you need for a short stay. Definitely better than any hotel. Loved the handheld shower head, didn’t love the bed. The host was very responsive. The road was a little busy but not too loud. The fire pit was nice. No one was at the houses that are pretty close by so that was nice. We would stay again.

Did not like turning on wall switch & having all ceiling lights on at the same time. Side table w/ lamp would be great for reading. L.R. furniture not comfortable. Needs dish drainer for sink.Spacious enough & comfortable bed.Nice lake access.

We enjoyed our stay in northern Michigan! The cottage was clean and the right size for us. It was a great location for going to the UP and northern Michigan. We had some trouble with the tv randomly turning off or not going to the right channel. This was more of an annoyance than a big issue as we could still watch tv. We also had some trouble with the thermostat. It is set on a schedule, so we couldn’t pick the temperature we wanted unless we deleted all the scheduled times. We still didn’t know if it was really working or not most of the time. Overall it was a nice place to stay!

The cabin was clean, cute and had the necessities. Quiet and safe location! Close enough to things without being in the city. 2 things I would say there could be improvement on is that the hot water runs out quick. I feel like it is a very small water heater unit as I had cold water by the end of my shower. The other thing is that I feel there could be window treatments on even the short windows even though they sit higher up. I’m a tall person and getting out of the shower was a little unsettling. Overall, I would stay here again! Very nice place!
