Beautiful Cottage in a Quiet Setting

This was our 2nd stay here and once again we found everything we needed for a fun week. It was hot outside, in the 80s, but we were comfortable with just the windows and fans. Our group enjoyed the boats, hammocks, and cooking over the fire pit.

We had a great stay. It was such a nice property. The house was very clean and pickerel lake was beautiful. Fishing was great. Very relaxing and fife lake was quite charming.

Communication with Mary was awesome. Check in was super easy and the house was exactly as described and perfect for 4 of us (2 adults and 2 older teenage kids) Very nice place and lake access was good also. Not too far from Traverse City (45 minute drive) for shopping, etc. We also went to Torch Lake twice. Parked at the sandbar and took our paddleboards out both times. The water there was clear with white sand, it was gorgeous. It was about 45 minutes also but get there early to get a parking spot if you don't have a boat.Overall the place was great and in a good location and would recommend to anyone!

This place is a hidden gem! It was so relaxing to sit on the dock and enjoy the beautiful scenery. My boys thoroughly enjoyed the kayaks and fishing. The location is great for easy access to all that Northern MI has to offer. We explored Sleeping Bear Dunes, Traverse City, and Mackinac Island during our visit. Mary was a wonderful host and easy to communicate with. The cottage was very clean and fully stocked. We would absolutely stay here again!

Comfortable, clean and in a woodsy setting.Kids loved the fishing opportunities.

We had a wonderful experience and the kids are already asking when we can go back! The house was great, they even brought in an AC as it was supposed to be hot while we were there. There was plenty for everyone to do- my husband fished every day and the lake was full! Even the kids caught fish right from the dock. The shed was stocked with all sorts of helpful things- extra chairs, fishing poles, bikes, etc. I would definitely recommend a stay here!

We had a nice time. Enjoyed the quiet seclusion of the property. The kayaks and row boat were a hit. Thanks for sharing.

Perfect setting for our family vacation to explore the area with trips to Sleeping Bear, Traverse City, Mackinaw Island and the Dark Sky Park. Found everything we needed at the cabin for a week of fun -- both inside and outside. Wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend it to others.

We had a wonderful week in this cottage - it was exactly as described and had all the amenities we were hoping for! We spotted lots of wild life around the lake and really enjoyed the quiet setting.

We had a wonderful experience! Cabin was the perfect size for our group of 6 adults. We enjoyed kayaking, fishing, roasting marshmallows and making pan fried trout over the fire. Host was extremely helpful and prompt to respond to any questions. She had the cabin stocked with spices, coffee, garbage bags etc. and she was very gracious to allow us to use her supplies if needed! I would definitely recommend this place to a friend!! The only down side was the distance to some of the locations we wanted to visit, for example, an hour to sleeping bear dunes. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway, this is your place.
