    A beautiful property. Stayed there while visiting Sleeping Bear Dunes. Lovely little town, peaceful area, just up a small hill from the lake.

    We loved this cottage! The decor was updated yet cozy. So close to the bike trail and the beach! We went to the Manitou for Walleye and to St Ambrose Cellars for live music. Our host was very responsive. We will be back!

    The unit was unbelievably clean and as cozy as can be. It is just a lovely place. Town was quiet which was nice. Parking maybe a little suspect but tolerable. We loved it. Thank you very much.

    Nice stay, beautifully decorated, great place to stay overnight. Would be perfect for a couple going to Crystal to ski or on their way to Traverse area, etc. Please note it is above the owner's garage, we missed that part, so it was a little awkward when we arrived, as we didn't know where to park and we didn't know we needed to walk in and go above the garage. We accidently walked up to the owner's house but got it all figured out. Was a nice little studio for 2 people to stay in, had a nice view of the forest and the sun coming up in the morning. Lake down the road was beautiful in the morning with the sun shining on the snow. A couple of great restaurants in town, just down the road. Would be good for a couple traveling in the winter or if you wanted a short stay in the summer.

    This place is even better than the photos! Absolutely everything looked brand new. Nothing was worn out or dingy. Everything extremely clean. The host was so sweet and, due to bad weather, proactively offered to extend our checkout. Highly recommend, would stay again.

    Lovely place! It was decorated so adorable, had all the amenities, and accurately described. The only issue we had was that you couldn’t lock the place when you left, which should be fixed.

    Comfy, well-equipped and nicely decorated one bedroom. This is a beautifully- designed apartment above a garage. Spacious and clean and the bed was very comfortable! We were there in hot weather and the AC worked perfectly. We used the kayaks on the lake which was super fun. Great location close to the Beulah downtown. If we had stayed for more days, we would definitely have used the bikes to roll around town.

    Well appointed, thoughtful layout, tucked in a woods, with a peek of the lake, and only a short walk to town and five min. to golf. Just what we were looking for.

    We very much enjoyed our stay. It was close to the attraction that brought us to the area, Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes. Never having hiked the trails in the winter, it did not disappoint. The VRBO was in a great location and just so happened to be having their Winterfest that weekend. Our first time watching fireworks in the winter, such a cool experience! Just a short walk made for a fun adventure! Maple Nest Cottage was very clean and had everything we needed for a great weekend!

    Maple Nest was a perfect accommodation with an expanded studio apartment in a stand alone dwelling. Very well kept with furniture, appliances, and all utilities you could ask for. Best moments - sitting on the balcony at morning with a coffee, or in the evenings with a drink, taking in the fall colors and views of Crystal Lake. Centrally located and I made daily walks to Beulah to visit 5 Shores Brewing, Lucky Dog Saloon, and other places for meals and great beverages! Loved staying there and will book again!

    The bed was like sleeping on bricks, description is misleading as you can’t see the lake from the property and we felt it’s overly priced. Cottage is clean, up to date and classy. 10am was too early to check out.
