Thank you for your review! We’re glad you found the home clean and enjoyed the location. The nearby trail access is one of our favorite features as well. We appreciate you choosing to stay with us and hope to host you again on your next trip to the area.
This is a gem in the middle of a tranquil wood. A simple, but comfortable abode,this cottage had everything we needed for a perfect, relaxing weekend. Secluded enough to be private, but conveniently located for easy trips to nearby Cheboygan, Mackinaw, and surrounding beaches.The home itself is clean and sound. Appliances are newer and fully functional. Basic kitchen necessities are available for home cooking if desired. Strong Wi-Fi is provided and reliable.Towels and bed sheets were so soft and fresh. The attention to comforts are clear.One thing I might suggest is a grab-bar outside of the shower. The tub is deep, and the step out can be a bit precarious for those of us on the older and/or shorter side.Definitely a 5-star location and host. Thank you for offering this property for use.
