"The paddle boards and canoes on the lake made the trip really fun for teenagers. Right on a nice lake so it’s shallow enough to explore and also swim out deeper and much warmer than Lake Michigan which is close enough to drive back and forth from easily."

"Stayed at this amazing updated lakefront cottage with my sister and niece for the Frankfort 70.3 Ironman race. Location could not be better. Cottage is updated and pictures are accurate. Host was VERY accommodating and great, very fast communication through the whole process. Comfortable beds. Kitchen had all the necessities to make this place your home. 10 stars all the way around. Only wish I could have stayed longer. Will definitely stay again if I make it back up to the area. Thank you for...

"Our 2 night stay here was wonderful! The property itself is beautiful, tucked away in a small neighborhood in the woods between two lakes. It was larger than expected and super cute inside. The host provides lots of amenities all throughout the house and the decor and colors really help add to the charm. The location is perfect! About 25 mins from Traverse City and close to the Leelanau Peninsula. There are lots of nice resturants nearby, ice cream, pizza, grocery stores, consignment shops,...

Secluded Bayfront Cottage with Stunning views
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (5)
"We had a lovely stay! The house is new and comfortable with great finishes. It is well designed with big windows all along the back of the house, so no matter where you are it feels like you’re at the beach. The location is kind of funny with the gas station and casino somewhat visible from the front driveway, but when you’re in the house or out on the patio you can’t tell."

"It's was a cute condo but could use some updating of the recliner and pull out couch mattress. The ice maker in the freezer had mineral build up that left floaties in your beverage as the ice melted. The jetted tube needs to have the jets cleaned more frequently as they were filled with icky stuff. The hot tub and pool were closed and not scheduled to open until the next weekend which we wish we had known. We were looking forward to using them but were never informed of this aspect. The...
