Escape to this secluded chalet-style cottage perched on a wooded bluff above Michigan’s world-famous Tunnel of Trees, where views of Lake Michigan meet the serenity of northern woods.

Tucked on the inland side of M-119, this private getaway offers exclusive beach access just across the road and sits on more than an acre of forest. Both the cottage and beach face north meaning that you have views of both sunrise and sunset from the beach.

Inside, the cottage is cozy yetspacious, with gathering and relaxation spaces across three levels. The main level features a full kitchen, dining area, and a large living room with a vintage fireplace and TV. Off the first level is a three-season room, and a large deck that overlooks Lake Michigan. The top level includes a master suite with a king bed and private deck, plus a second bedroom with twin beds and a trundle. The lower level offers a cozy bedroom/living space with four twin beds, a three-quarter bath.

The cottage has high speed fiber optic internet, central air (new in 2026) and heat, and full laundry facilities. Along with a fully equipped kitchen, two streaming tvs, and an abundant supply of board games. Outdoors, enjoy a fire pit, stone patio, and propane and charcoal grills. Guests may also use two kayaks or touring bikes for scenic rides to nearby Good Hart or Cross Village along the Tunnel of Trees.

    A charming quiet area, the M119 washout made it especially so. Especially enjoyed the nearby parks and hikes.

    The cottage is absolutely lovely! Mike is very responsive and provided great places to see and things to do. (Although if you stayed put right at the cottage, you’d be just fine! Plenty to see and do right there) The cottage is very comfortable and felt like home. Plenty of space and the dogs enjoyed their time also! Excellent views!

    Loved the location of this house - quick drives to Petoskey, Harbor Springs, and Mackinac. Rooms were spacious and very clean. Access to the beach was a 2 minute walk, and was worth every step up and down the driveway…we had the entire beach to ourselves and it was beautiful! Also loved all of the extras that were already there and we didn’t have to pack - beach chairs, wagon for towing to the beach, fans, etc.

    Idyllic, setting back in the trees set up on a hill nicely secluded above the lake, easy access to the beach and a well equipped and well appointed house.

    The cottage was very cute and comfortable with lots of amenities. We enjoyed the private beach and the lovely lake view. We had some trouble with the key not working, but the owner was very responsive and helped us figure it out, even though it was very late at night! Be aware that unless you have a 4 wheel drive vehicle, you will be carrying all your belongings up 2 flights of deck stairs or up a very steep drive. This would not be good for someone with bad knees - unless you have 4 wheel drive to get up the driveway. Great trip though!!

    We visited with our family and it was a perfect fit for us. The king room was so comfy and the boys loved the upstairs room and the downstairs room was perfect for the girls including their own bath. There were so many games to keep us busy in the evening. The beach was lovely but like many Lake Michigan beaches there are rocks so I recommend packing water shoes. We loved the deck and sat out there every evening after watching the sunset on the beach. We also visited our favorite spots - the beach by st. Ignatius in good hart, legs inn and pond hill farm. We had a blast.

    We had a wonderful stay. Peaceful and close to everything we wanted to visit. The steep property incline was a perfect exercise playground. The amenities were beyond what was expected. Would definitely stay there again. Thank you.

    Came up for a few days just to get away. GREAT location - around the corner from the local market. Stunning lake view. Wonderfully appointed. Was just perfect and we slept great. Owners gave us a wealth of information leading up to our stay - so helpful! We felt well-cared for and very appreciative.

    We stayed at this house in May a couple of years ago and loved it. The location in the Tunnel of Trees and right across the street from Lake Michigan access is amazing. We love gathering and eating on the deck which provides a great view of the lake. It's quiet, clean and we absolutely love this house and location!
