About the host

Hosted by Bill and Maria

Host profile image
Mariners Landing evolved as we wanted to share our cottage to those who want the experience a quaint coastal town, with its many events, public beaches, waterfront, and rich history.

Why they chose this property

Mariners at heart, it's our tendency to gravitate to the water; this cottage offered the water's edge, big ships and the luxury of being in a small, walkable community.

What makes this property unique

There are few options for accommodations on the fresh coast of Michigan of what Mariners Landing offers; guests are able to enjoy the picturesque views of the only in-service passenger steam ship, the SS Badger from various places inside and outside the home. The location of this cottage is within walking distance to event venues, museums, parks, marinas, waterfront and all shops, restaurants and breweries in downtown.
