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 quietcommunity, but close enough to all that northwestern Michigan has to offer. Explore the beaches and hiking trails of the National Lakeshore, 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 one of our two kayaks, directly from our 100 feet of private shore line.

With 2 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.

Please note that we strive to use environmentally friendly cleaning products and encourage our guests to do the same in order to preserve our lakeside habitat.

    Great location for Sleeping Bear Dunes. The views from cabin of the lake are terrific. Had beautiful sunrise and caught a swan couple during my stay.Disappointed in shower..very small corner unit. Second bedroom bed very low to floor so anyone with mobility issues this would be a challenge. Kitchen lacks a toaster and microwave two items most people use. No paper towels were provided. Limited eating establishments in the local town.

    I enjoyed everything about this cabin. It was located right on Little Platte and we made good use of the back deck and the kayaks. Clean and well cared for. Very close to some of the best beaches in Sleeping Bear and easy drive to most places in the area. We would love to come back and stay in this cabin again!

    Relaxed, serene location for a nature getaway. Enjoyed the lake and stars from the yard (light pollution was not an issue)! Very close to Sleeping Bear and plenty of other locations so that day excursions for hikes, beaches, parks, and towns were easy and enjoyable. The entire area is gorgeous and well worth the trip!The bed was very comfortable and the host had great communication as well. I mostly was unplugged but did take a few work calls with no issue.I would definitely rebook upon my return to the area!!

    My wife, 1y/o and I stayed here and could not have been happier. The house itself is clean, well-kept, and we loved the craftsman style as well as the peaceful lake. The mattresses were also the most comfortable we've slept in in a rental or hotel. We will definitely be returning!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the property. Property is in good repair and trimmed well. Beds are newer and comfortable, solid oak wood trim around double hung jeld-wen windows which match the 3 panel doors, larger picture windows for lake view. Forced air heat for cooler weather, it does not seem drafty. Newer gas range. New large composite lake side deck. This is a comfortable place to stay and enjoy the region. I would say this would be good lodging for 4. It has a king and queen bed, 3 seat couch and a living room chair plus 4 wooden seat dinette table. I'll say that they keep this place up better than a lot of other friends cabins I've been to. Thanks!!

    Such a small cute house it’s on the lake. Lots of ducks, an otter and 2 swans. It’s in a wooded area. We must have seen 30 deer on the way there. The owners are very kind, professional and helpful. They quickly responded when I had questions.We will be back
