Graveside service for my Mom and visiting family.
This was a perfect getaway place to relax and have time to recall all the good memories of the past as we visited with family and had the graveside service for Mom and visitation afterwards. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay. Kathy and Mott.

Down by the river
Property is an amazing spot right on the river. Super quiet with access to tons of activities within a short distance. Rental came with access to a dock right out front which we utilized by renting from Windjammers on Crooked Lake. Owners were very knowledgeable about the area and went out of their way to help us find things to do with our kids to make our stay more enjoyable. If you are looking for a spot to relax, unwind and enjoy the quiet river life look no further.

The property was perfect and met our needs to be on the water with access to miles of boating fun. It is located near Petoskey and Indian River. Scott and Chuck are very nice and accommodating to our needs. The property was comfortable enough for the time we spend there.
