"We stayed for a mountain biking trip had a great experience location was perfect for riding to and from the highlands bike park"

"The property is well-maintained, very secluded, and very quiet."

"My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at this site. The view of Lake Huron was beautiful. The lake is RIGHT THERE! No steep steps required to get to the water. The house interior has a rustic homey vibe that we just loved. It reminded us of my parents' home. The house was very clean and comfortable. While we were there, we saw a large eagle in a nearby tree. It was visible from the front window. It was perched in a nearby tree for 20 minutes and then flew off. We also met the next-door...

"Overall we greatly enjoyed our time here. However, there were a few issues. First, the freezer melted our ice cream. Second, we were basically told "good luck" about using the oven, which would have been nice to know before we bought groceries. Third, the heat had already been turned off for the season and it was COLD at night. Thankfully some of the beds had heaters, which was great. The fireplace downstairs is just for looks/ambience. It provided no heat to the room when on. There were only 3...

"It was very good but the bathroom could be a bit bigger that was very tiny. We appreciated the grill and the kayaks. Our grandkids really enjoyed them. It was very peaceful and relaxing."

"Enjoyed the cottage. Right on a small bay looking into Lake Michigan/Straits of Mackinac"

"So much better than staying in a local hotel! There is absolutely nothing bad to say about this place. Thank you for your hospitality!"

"Nice relaxing location. The kayaks were a hit with my teens!"

"Enjoyed everything"

"Modernized. Clean. Comfortable beds/furniture. Clarify ‘directions’. Name of road not on any street signs. Actually is the highway (add that info!). Drove by x 2 looking for crossroad; property drive RIGHT OFF (two line) highway. Much traffic noise, daytime. Good restaurant across street. Group of cabins on pretty inland lake. One property building is ‘fish cleaning house’, so must be good fishing, here. 🐟"

"This is the best place to breathe and reset. Comfortable. Beautiful. Peaceful."

"Beautiful scenery, the lake in the morning, sunrise, sunset, tranquil."

"We love the decor and location. Many things to explore from dive bars to natural beauty. We shall return."

"The property was as described and cute, cozy, and clean. Walkable distance from town and the river. More sofa seating in the living room would have been appreciated but otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!"

"Perfect location as it was easy for us to get to the sites we wanted to see. We slept soundly and the cottage/home was equipped with everything we needed."

"A sweet, charming cottage on a beautiful lake. Perfect for enjoying cool fall evenings and lovely sunsets."

"Very nice and cozy. Clean. Everything we needed. We will be back!"

"The cottage had everything we needed, plus it's a great location with great views. Mike (the host) was very helpful, both before and during the stay. I highly recommended staying at this cottage."

"Very nice house, beds are good, has everything you will need. Not far from Petoskey or Harbor Springs."

"Great place to stay close to many Northern Michigan treasures."

"This was a wonderful place to stay for the weekend! It was a bit bigger than it looked in the pictures, which was great. The shower was a little bit small, but very usable. The only thing missing qould be a sponge or dish cloth to wash the dishes with. Everything else was wonderful!"
