Peaceful retreat in a beautiful location
My husband and I rented this beautiful cottage as a place to relax after finishing the work of packing up and selling our house. We were pretty exhausted and needed time to just “ do nothing” and plan our year of travel. We can’t say enough about the cottage. The beds were so comfortable and the pellet stove provided a cozy warmth while we sat in the living room enjoying the sunset in the evening. The kitchen was well stocked and easy to work in. It was a pleasure to eat our meals at the cottage rather than go out to a restaurant. The beach front has a lovely wooden bench swing , picnic area, and fire pit . There is plenty of space to walk and explore the lake- great place to walk the dog. Though we were here to relax, this place is perfect for a family on a summer vacation looking to swim, fish, and have fun. We met or goal of relaxing and enjoyed every minute here. The owner was very responsive to our needs and easy to communicate with. There was no downside to our stay.

Amazing
This place is exactly as described and in my opinion even better! If you're looking for a nice private getaway this is a great place to go! My favorite part was having a bonfire right on the beach. It was so relaxing. The beds were extremely comfortable too! Everything was just really perfect for my family. We will definitely be coming back when its warm so we can get in the water but even while its cold out i would still go back here again and again! Checking in was a million times easier and less hassle than a hotel and communicating with Heather, our host was very easy. She was very generous with checking in early and explained everything perfectly. I will be recommending this place to as many people as i possibly can for sure

Beach House
This cottage has it all. Amazing views, comfort, well stocked, and great location. We toured Fayette Historic State park and hiked the 4mi trail on day one followed by an amazing dinner at Docks Grill in Garden. Spent next day at Miners Falls/Castle, and hiked the North Coast Trail to the beach. Last day visited Kitch-itI-Kip Springs & hiked Colwell Lake trail. Fall colors were amazing. Unfortunately the late October weather was not great for beaching. We would recommend this cottage to anyone. Just be aware it doesn’t sit far off the road so watch your children and pets. Five stars!!!

UP Fall Trip
This cabin was the perfect place to relax and unwind in the evening after enjoying the scenic drive to and from pictured rocks national lakeshore. It didn’t feel like much of a drive traversing through the surrounding national forest to get there. The sunset at the cabin was an added bonus. Pellet stove was a very nice touch.

This was our first trip to Michigan and we picked the perfect place to spend a week, The cabin was immaculate and lacked nothing, The view out back is what we have missed and the privacy was perfect. We just got back to Florida and both wish we were still at the cabin.

Sunset cottage
Nice stay at this cottage. It was warm enough the first day to get in the water which was much warmer than we expected for the UP. It is very shallow for a long way out. We saw a beautiful sunset early in the week before it got cooler and rainy. The Dock Bar and Grill is just up the road and has great fresh fish!

Beach House
Beautiful spacious cabin and property. Cabin was clean and well stocked with everything needed and more. The place fit 7 people and 2 dogs comfortably and the nightly beach bonfires were awesome, along with the stunning sunsets. Great communication with owner. Would highly recommend and will definitely stay again. The only issue was the plumbing would get backed up now and again. But we imagine with all the showers, toilet flushing, etc. it overloaded the system a bit. We just gave it some time and everything worked great.

UP Hiking Trip 2023
Overall nice cabin with ample room for 4 with nice view, lots of tables, nice furniture and kayaks. near some bigger towns for shopping and restaurant and driving distance to other parks and hiking areas. We loved the UP area and all the small towns we visited-eat, drink, and hiking. there were a few things that were noticeable- strong smell from the water when using the shower and bathroom sink(there is a new water filtration system for drinking water/kitchen); it is located right on the busy road; door lock on front door was finicky; and the sandy beach has quite a bit of grassy area but we did love the Florida-like sands on Lake Michigan. Overall we would stay here again

Cabin family getaway!
We loved spending the week in this modern, clean and comfortable cabin! Seemed everything was carefully thought of to ensure our stay was fun and relaxing!! Our communication with the property manager, Heather was helpful and professional!! We enjoyed swimming, kayaking, volleyball and camp fires! We grocery shopped in at Jacks Fresh Market in Manistique, visited Kitch-iti-kipi, Pictured Rocks, and great mountain biking at Bruno’s Run! Fishing at Moccasin Lake..(Hiawatha National Forest) Loved our stay, and looking forward to another visit!

Great place for a get-away
Great location and cabin. Close to so many things, but also quiet and so beautiful. The lake level is low, but the kids still enjoyed the kayaks and floating pad. We used the grill and also made smores at the firepit - both were in great shape. Kids had fun playing games in the yard and playing on the beach. We watched beautiful sunsets. The addition of the water cooler and new shower head were really nice. The cabin was great and we will definitely stay again.

Time for ourselves
We needed a little time for ourselves. No grandkids, no appointments, no hassles. The property was perfect for all these needs. The house is located on Lake Michigan in a quiet bay. We were close enough to a small town to do some shopping but far enough away to experience a secluded vacation. We did not use the provided kayak’s, but using them would have been easy. Overall, a very nice experience.

This property is so great for a couple or family to get away from the hustle and bustle! It's quiet and not too difficult to find, though really pretty secluded. Right on the water with plenty of wildlife wandering through. Sunsets are amazing with a campfire right on the beach. I would absolutely return in a heartbeat!

Beautiful property right on the lake. Water is crystal clear and the lakefront is sandy bottom and shallow for a long way out making it great for little kids. Quiet bay meant calm water. House was fully stocked and very clean. We used the firepit and just really enjoyed our trip. Owners were very responsive. We would stay again.
