Wonderful hosts, nice, secluded, spacious cabin

We really enjoyed our stay here! Our kids loved the loft area of the cabin - it was a great relaxing hangout just for them. The cabin is on the older side but very clean and comfortable. It's on a nice, small lake that includes boats for use. and a nice swimming raft. Sunsets were stunning. It's a little far out from Traverse City and Sleeping Bear but we didn't mind at all. We enjoyed relaxing evenings around the fire pit looking at the stars. The owners are really responsive and friendly. We were welcomed with some delicious homemade blueberry cake and some beautiful flowers. Thank you!

We enjoyed having Fran and her family with us for a few days. Very nice and respectful. We are pleased they were able to rest and relax, explore and enjoy the lake. That is what we are all about. We welcome Fran and her family back anytime.

Absolutely loved the chalet cabin

The property was very clean and cozy. There was plenty of room and beds available for the 7 of us. We enjoyed fishing, games that were provided, grilling our meals and the quiet environment in the woods. I got to speak with the owner Becky and she was very delightful. I will definitely plan a stay there again.

Disappointed.

Hot tub is NOT private FYI. We signed up for a time slot to use the community hot tub, and owners decided to empty/clean it right before our time slot and left it 80 degrees. When we went back to shower after our freezing experience, there was NO SHOWER HEAD! Owners were not helpful at all and extremely condescending. I was extremely disappointed and couldn’t enjoy any part of our stay involving this property. Wouldn’t recommend.

We are sorry your stay fell short of your expectations. We wish, Alexis, you would have connected with us while you were staying with us, rather than the day after you left. Our description of the Chalet states the hot tub is enjoyed by all at the Resort. It is not a private hot tub. We have a board at the office for guests to sign up for an hour of private usage during the evening and again during the morning and afternoon if one chooses. The hot tub, unfortunately, was not up to the highest temperature until late Saturday evening due to it needing to be cleaned. The shower head is called a water saver swivel shower head. It is smaller than the normal swivel shower head the general population would have in their homes. I can see how you could think it was just a pipe as it is the same color as the pipe. I did offer to take it off and take a picture of it to show it is different than the pipe. This could have been cleared up quickly had there been communication with us while you were staying here.

Trip Up North

We had such a fun stay visiting the area. The owner was very responsive and so nice! The women who work in the office are INCREDIBLE. The woman with the brown hair and glasses was so kind and pointed out all the best places to visit and helped us plan hikes and wine tours. It was such a relaxing and fun trip :)
