    Had a wonderful stay. The cabin was clean and cozy. Had a small view of the lake. M31 is right there so did hear a lot of traffic noise. But it didn’t bother me. It’s within walking distance to a very nice restaurant and the house of pies. I would definitely stay again. It was just the right size for me. I’m pretty sure I was the only person at the property. So it was very quiet. Wished I could have sat on the deck more but it was really hot and there was no shade. But I totally enjoyed my stay.

    Placed a call to the property manager. Wanted to know where I could dock my boat. He never returned my call. Other than no place to eat meals the place was fine. Picnic table outside was broken and laying flat on the ground.

    We had a short stay due to an emergency at home but we will be back. Great little cottage. I would love to come and stay during the winter months! You can't go wrong here. The local onsite manager was very helpful and offered many ideas for food and fun.

    We enjoyed our stay fairly well. The bed was a double bed. I can’t remember what the adverisement said but a double bed is a lot smaller than most couples are used to sleeping on. I had expected a queen. It was also very squishy and up against the wall so it made it hard to get in and out and the squishy nature made you sink into it. Not great. The other problem was that the property is listed as being three houses off a lake, which it is, but failed to mention its located on a two lane highway that has a surprising amount of traffic all night long that actually shakes the cottage. All in all we tried to make the most of it but it was not and ideal getaway location.

    We loved the convenience of the location and the added bonus of the lake behind the property. It is definitely a small space. Probably best for a family of three or less or only staying a night or so (room for luggage is very limited). The owner has provided sound machines to help with the close traffic of being steps off of 31. Not a problem for our heavy sleepers but something to be aware of.

    Great little place to stay! Convenient to water, great restaurant across the street. Cabin was everything promised! Bed and shower are a little small but didn’t adversely affect our stay. Highly recommend

    It was small, but clean. Not too far from Petoskey and beautiful parks with hiking. Shower was very small, but has the handheld showerhead on a hose, which makes it easier to rinse off.
