    We have stayed in this place before and it was great this time around again. It’s nice to be able to bring the dogs with us.

    My 2nd stay here. The location is ideal for a relaxing vacation at the beach on Lake Michigan and to drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes. So glad my pup is welcome also! My BFs first trip to Onekama and he loved the area! Hope to return soon! Perfect for 2 people and my furkid!

    It was a very nice place and a very cozy little cottage. I would like to visit again if my husband was interested. We had to visit without him but I do think it would be a place that he would be interested in due to having access to the inland lake and lake Michigan for his boat. It was a very nice location. The sunsets were beautiful. It is within walking distance to both bodies of water. There were many things available to us in the home that was very helpful. The bed was clean and so were the towels and floors. The couches were very comfortable. My son slept in the recliner for the four nights that we were there. One of the things that I would change is the backyard. We had to put one of our dogs on a lead because he will run into the road and there were many things that the lead would get caught on and the yard is not closed in. Two tree stumps and pavers. One of the other things is that we ran out of trash bags. I don't know if we are supposed to supply the trash bags or if the owners are supposed to but we made it through with little bags. Another thing is that it looked like there is blood smeared across the bedroom blind. I wasn't sure what it was but we were not going to touch it. The last thing is that the dishes were not fully clean. I had to wash them before using them. For example the utensils had food still caked in them and a baking sheet had things burnt to it. All and all it was an amazing little cabin and we would love to go back.

    This property was perfect for me and my partner. I can't remember a more relaxing time I have had on a vacation. The property was close to Langland beach. We were able to enjoy the sunset every night. Everyone we met and spoke with were so friendly. My partner got to meet many dogs as they were being walked by the cottage. There were many things so see and do within a reasonable drive from the cottage. Arcadia Marsh has to be one of my favorites. My sunrise pictures would have only been better without the addition of the smoke from the Canadian fires. Same goes for the sunset ones. But, it is, what it is this year. Also, I have never seen so many deer as in this area. We seen some every day while here! Morning, noon and evening. You have to be a bit vigilant while driving. We can't wait to come back again. We highly recommend this place.

    Exactly what we were looking for, a cute little cabin/dollhouse nestled away in northern Michigan. Amenities were perfect, location was excellent, quiet and relaxing. Host was very responsive, place was kept clean, and we had everything we needed. Couldn’t have asked for more.

    The cabin was perfectly close to Portage lake and Lake Michigan and such a peaceful area of Onekama.

    Charming town and so happy I found this great cottage. Nice hosts, clean, comfortable and we were able to bring my two small dogs. Both lakes are amazing! I definitely plan to return.

    It was nice to visit an area up north we hadn't been to before, easy check-in, just as described, and good communication with the hosts.
