Amazing location, very pretty views and so unbelievably quiet! The host was very attentive, we had a minor issue with the heat but she quickly rectified the problem. We especially appreciated the very nice linens and heavy bedding, so cozy! Such a great little cottage, we definitely will plan another trip!

Location was great, on a quiet dead end street with a great view. We loved the cozy little cottage perfect for our small family. The host was super easy to work with, and helped us out with a place to stay on short notice.

I rented this for my daughter and son in law for their first anniversary getaway. They had a wonderful time and when they arrived they found sparkling wine was left for them to celebrate. They will definitely be staying again!

We had a nice time regardless of the power outage. This place has a great shoreline view, in a peaceful setting but the newborn were a little load at times.

Heather's place was a perfect location for exploring the UP. The house is comfortable and charming; the view of the lake is gorgeous; and Heather responds immediately. Peace, tranquility, ease, comfort. And the folks in Garden are very friendly and welcoming.
