Quiet and serene, right off scenic M119 /Tunnel of Trees is our little cottage on (the big) Lake Michigan. Plenty of sleeping space and just steps away down the path to expansive and private Chippewa Cove Woods Association Lake Michigan frontage.



The cottage is well appointed for meals in, though just minutes to neighboring communities for meals out. Accommodations are thoughtfully procured to ensure a comfortable stay. Thoroughly refreshed kitchen goods, beds and bath linens. New carpet in bedrooms (fall 2022), remodeled half-bath/laundry (spring 2023) and master bath (spring 2025), renovated kitchen, new hardwood flooring (spring 2024), and more updates to come.



Main floor has three bedrooms (one queen and two kings), two full and one half bath. Sleeping loft has four twin beds and a tv/sitting area.
*Portable a/c unit in the loft area only*

Walk the beach or swim in the crystal clear water (water shoes are encouraged). Enjoy sunsets from the beach, kayaks, or paddle boards. Take a walk through the association trails, play Cornhole on the beach, or bike along M119 to the Good Hart General Store to grab some goodies and souvenirs.



Minutes from Petoskey and Harbor Springs and all those areas have to offer! Summertime at the lake, fall color/wine tours, skiing at Nub's Nob or The Highlands, and much more!

    Everything was really wonderful... the house was clean and well stocked, being right by the water was great. The one thing that would prevent us from staying there again was the road getting in and out of the complex. It was not safe.

    Very enjoyable stay, well stocked kitchen and gorgeous beach with easy access. Beds were comfortable and owner very responsive! Private, remote neighborhood, we loved seeing the eagles a few times. I recommend this property for a northern MI getaway.

    This is the most well stocked kitchen we’ve seen in our travels. Nice quiet spot with direct beach access. We used the provided paddle boards and kayaks. Water entry was rocky so bring water shoes… but everything else is provided!

    We’ve rented many homes before, this felt much more like staying at a friend's cabin. They have gone above and beyond with the amount and quality of amenities - fluffy towels, comfortable beds, stocked cookware, clean appliances, firewood (with starter and matches), beach chairs and towels, and a lot of really great reads sprinkled thought the cabin. Truly a gem. The beach is private and gorgeous. You can’t beat a Lake Michigan!

    Once again it was a lovely week at this picture perfect cabin. The kitchen is filled with everything needed to cook, beds comfortable, the deck inviting after a long day on the beach. You will not be disappointed with the location; beautiful and quiet with a walkable sandy beach. We highly recommend this lake house!

    Great house, great location. Perfect for our family ranging from 12 to 75. Peaceful and beautiful beach that was mostly deserted. This is the 4th year we've stayed at this house and the owners have made a lot of nice improvements to enhance your stay. Hoping to rent again next summer!

    This home was one of the most well appointed of any place I’ve stayed. There was everything you could want for baking or cooking dinner, spices, flour, sugar, and even coffee for the morning. The host supplied all the toilet paper and paper towels we needed (with a family of 7 we often need to restock). There were games, and puzzles and the most surprising and fun of all was the selection of best seller books that lined the walls and the bedrooms. For outdoors the kayaks and paddle boards and solo stove and gas grill were all so appreciated and useful. The location of this beautiful space on the lake was just a mile from Good Hart General Store where coffee and snacks can be picked up quickly and easily. Harbor Springs was only 20 minutes down the road and Petoskey just 4O minutes away. There was so much to do at the lake house that we didn’t spend as much time as we thought we would exploring the surrounding towns. The sandy beach was only steps from the house (there are a few stairs from the deck to the beach but it’s only 15ish and not as many as the photos might suggest). The house was perfect and even more beautiful than photos can capture. We hope to return as soon as possible.

    What a unique property! We've rented other properties in the area and this, by far has been the best. Secluded spot with a beautiful, sandy beach. We stayed over the fourth and had a great time. The house has everything you need for a great stay. We used the paddleboards and kayaks and cooked a lot in the kitchen. Log cabin feel but with all the modern amenities you'd need. We absolutely would stay again.
