Honor, Michigan
Relax at our family cottage near the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The cottage is located on Little Platte Lake, ideal for fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, hiking, biking, and wildlife viewing. Winter activities include ice fishing, snow showing, snowmobiling, and cross country skiing. We are located on a private bay, directly across from The Medenbrook Nature Preserve where you have unobstructed views of the tree line.
The cottage is located on a private road in a quiet community, but close enough to all that northwestern Michigan has to offer. Explore the beaches and hiking trails of the National Park, or take a trip up to Traverse City for shopping, restaurants, art, and music. The charming towns of Beulah, Empire, Frankfort, and Glen Arbor are within 10-20 minutes of the cottage.
If you enjoy fishing and boating, the Little Platte Lake boat launch is a few minutes out the drive on Saffron Road. You can also launch at nearby Platte Point to access Lake Michigan. Launch a kayak or stand up paddle board directly from our 100 feet of private shore line.
With 3 beds and a queen sleeper sofa, there are a variety of sleeping options. If you like to cook, a gas range and charcoal barbecue are available for your use. You can also try your open fire cooking skills over a bonfire near the lake. The kitchen is well equipped, however we don’t have a microwave at this time.
If you want to unplug during your time away, we keep a variety of board games and books in the cupboards. The spacious yard is great for outdoor games.

Property neat and clean Look forward to staying there in the future---a kyack would have nice. Ed and Rose
Loved this cottage and the property. We had beautiful weather and there is so much to do nearby.
Well taken care of cabin and it certainly. The owner is very personable and took care of our needs. Great location and scenery.
The overall stay was great! It looks out over the water and was super peaceful. The beds are not the most comfortable but otherwise great!
Clean, quiet, beautiful setting - thank you!
Although the weather didn’t cooperate, we enjoyed our stay at your place! It was centrally located to the other cities we'd plan to visit. With the weather, we found ourselves being inside more than normal. The living room furniture could use some attention. The queen bed was very nice. The shower needs some TLC too…hardly any water would come out at all.
Our family of four found a perfect getaway--frozen lake, board games, nearby activities. Hoping to return when it's warm.
Wonderful quiet anniversary weekend with easy access to nice restaurants and vineyards.
This was a very charming cabin in a quiet neighborhood right on Little Platte lake. If you like quiet, peacefulness and beauty, this is the place for you. Cabin was very clean and comfortable.
It was a great little cabin on a pretty lake. We spent a lot of time ice skating on Little Platte Lake. Very quiet location and great mix of winter outdoors and cozy cabin life. Queen bed for my wife and I that shared a large bathroom with kids room (two double beds) on other side of cabin. It was very clean and everything was operational. Lots of kitchen utencils and good amount of spices as wrll. The location is ideal, just south of Leelanau and all its wonders. It was about 10 minutes south of Empire, and the bluff hike there is magnificent. We had dinner at local breweries/distilleries. It's close to Iron Fish distillery, St. Ambrose Cellars, and others. About 20 minutes South of Sleeping Bear too. Great place and great time. We'll definitely be back!
