About this property

A Cozy Cottage On Brevort Lake- A Place Where You'll "Want To Be"

It's the setting of our small and unassuming cottage on the beach that makes this a real treat. Roasting marshmallows under a star-filled sky, canoeing calm waters in search of the next big fish, lounging in the hammock while reading, hearing the haunting loon's call, or chilling out on the deck as the sun slowly sets, THESE are the real standouts. If you want to get away from the hubbub and enjoy the outdoors at a small lakefront cottage, then check it out!

Two bedrooms overlook the lake at this uncomplicated and simple cottage. It has one full bathroom, an airy dining room that opens to an outdoor deck, and a kitchen outfit with '60's appliances. It's cute.

We've filled the cottage with board games and a 'retro' tv that only plays dvd's and VHS tapes. Sorry, no cable or wifi here!

If you are looking for a tranquil setting on a largely undeveloped lake, with 75 feet of private water frontage on a sandy beach, then our 'Camp Wannabe' is the place where you'll 'want to be' ! Included in the rental is a two person sit-on-top kayak and a hammock.

THE AREA:
You are crossing into the Upper Peninsula- an area known for its wild scenery, stretches of beautiful beaches, and bordered by three of the greatest lakes in the world!

Right out your front door is the scenic all-sports Brevort Lake- known for its fishing, wildlife and boating.

This lake is largely undeveloped, as Hiawatha National Forest accounts for more than 65% of the lake frontage, which adds to the serenity. The surrounding Hiawatha National Forest is larger than 1 million acres- great habitat for bald eagles, deer, and even moose.

Brevort Lake is a haven for walleye, perch, pike, and bass, if fishing is your thing. But traditional 'power' boating is an option, along with kayaking or wind-surfing.

Nearby, are hiking and biking trails such as the North Country Trail, the Sand Dunes Cross Country Ski/Hike Trail, and easy access to miles of groomed ORV trails.

If you want to get to the 'Big Lake', then the dunes and beaches along US-2 are 7 minutes away. These are a hot spot for summertime swimming and sun bathing.

We call it 'Camp Wannabe', the best of both worlds!

About the host

Hosted by Dario Primo

Host profile image
We are Northern Michiganders, raised in Traverse City. We bought Camp Wannabe (formerly the 'Cozy Cottage') in 2013. We wanted an escape- and a place for the kids to catch frogs and get dirty. We'd rented places on VRBO before and had good experiences so we thought that'd we'd give this a try!

Why they chose this property

It's close to our home, so we can easily spend the weekend away at the lake. When we cross the 'Mighty Mac', we feel as if we literally (and figuratively) leave one place and enter another.

The area appeals to us because it is low-key and simple.

The cottage is off the beaten track, but it still has the basics covered (running water, electricity, indoor plumbing).

The setting is very relaxing and peaceful.

When you are here, you won't be overwhelmed with commercial offerings. For us, being lakeside, away from it all, helps us 'circle the wagons' and pay attention to each other!

What makes this property unique

While we were still contemplating whether to buy the property, I sat down on the back deck. As I looked out over the lake, I felt a comforting breeze on my skin and heard the wind in the trees. I shut my eyes, and listened to the sound of water lapping at the shore.

I could feel my heart rate s-l-o-w down.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a bald eagle gliding overhead. I knew that this was the place.
