    Really enjoyed our stay here! So peaceful and secluded. The chalet was very clean. It’s spacious and cozy. Loved the large windows facing the lake and the fireplace! The upstairs loft has 2 queen beds, a bathroom and some furniture which was perfect for my parents who came with us. Right on the snowmobile trail which is what we came for. Carole kept in touch to make sure we didn’t need anything. Definitely would stay here again!

    The location was perfect for what we were looking for: a waterview, peaceful surroundings. We were able to use kayaks and to hike a trail. Was definitely pet friendly and the fall colors were spectacular. Owners were friendly and helpful.

    The lake and property are absolutely beautiful and provided the relaxing vacation we were looking for. Our kids enjoyed kayaking, swimming, and fishing, as well as the many ATV trails right out of the driveway. My wife and I enjoyed coffee every morning on the dock. Carole was a fabulous communicator, answered all of our questions quickly, and did everything to make sure we felt right at home. Highly recommend!

    This property was beautiful! So relaxing, and quiet. The chalet had everything we needed. We saw several deer while walking the trails. Carole was so nice, and helpful. She checked in with us the next day, just to make sure everything was okay.

    We had a wonderful week, wish we had stayed longer. Swimming, kayaking, paddleboating and enjoying the home! We planned to leave more but loved the property we spent more time at the home. Not sure if the dogs or teens had more fun ? plenty of space, had dinners on the deck and had a wonderful week! We will be back!

    We had a wonderful time visiting this property on Fife Lake. We came into town to run in the Bayshore 10k but wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of Traverse City on Memorial Day weekend. We found the perfect spot to do that! The cottage is beautiful, spacious, very clean and well stocked. We enjoyed cooking in the large kitchen, playing games inside and games of catch outside in the large yard, sitting on the dock taking in the beautiful sunshine, reading on the deck, a bonfire, and lots of quality family time. The property is very peaceful and serene. We saw swans, herons and had the unique opportunity to watch a turtle lay her eggs in the driveway! Carole is a very gracious, kind and supportive host! Highly recommend a stay at this lovely property.
