Refuel in this great location on the quiet part of the lake with easy access to the Upper Platte River for fall salmon fishing. Enjoy kayaking or tubing the Lower Platte River and letting the current take you to Lake Michigan. This home is located near Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore named Good Morning America's "Most Beautiful Place In America" in 2011 with the Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive and the rigorous dune climb at Sleeping Bear Dunes. You are not far from Lake Michigan's beaches & hiking trails. You are also close to Crystal Mountain for golfing.

Visit the Little River Casino (30 minutes south), explore downtown Traverse City and it's annual Cherry Festival on July 4th (40 minutes east), and the Cherry Bowl Drive-in for a one-of-a-kind 50’s-style drive-in just three miles down the road!
This quiet get-away is within your reach. Enjoy a favorite author on the quiet lakeshore or on the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan. Make time for Petoskey rock searches, birdwatching, games and a campfire with the family. Be amazed at the meteor showers in the dark of the "up north" over the lake. Listen for the call of the loons at dusk and the cry of the eagles during the day. These are the moments that memories are made of!

Really liked the location and setting. Plenty of room. Deck and tale outside could have been cleaned off before we arrived. The green chairs on the deck were not usable due to the chalky dust that came off on clothes when sitting on them.
Great location! We were in the area for a wedding. The cottage had everything we needed.
Comfortable place with all the amenities. Kitchen is well stocked with basics. Lovely deck with views of the lake. Overall a great place to stay which is close to hiking, boating, biking, etc.
Thanks
Very clean, confortable, well appointed.
From the beginning Mitzi communicated with me about the property and answered all my questions. Because of this communication we were very prepared and everything went off perfectly. The property is exactly as presented, easy access, the lake is beautiful. The location is in the middle of everything one cane desire when traveling to the area!! We’ll be back!!
If you love beautiful views, nature and a variety of fun things to do, this rental in this location is great! Lots of space to comfortably accommodate a group or visitors coming and going.
Great location, many outdoor activities available. Cottage was clean and well appointed. Deck needs attention- chairs are worn out/very weathered and uncomfortable. Suggest cleaning crew blow off deck debris each week when they clean. Bushes/plants around cottage are getting overgrown.
Cottage had it all. And the lake was fantastic as usual
The cottage was nice clean and loved the location with lots of things to do and see. The owners were very nice and helpful. Definitely want to go back next year.
We had an enjoyable week staying on Big Platte Lake. The owner sent a quick text after we arrived to make sure we got settled ok. The cottage is located in a vacation area with lots of things to do. It was clean and more spacious then we had expected. The kitchen was well equipped with dishes, pots, utensils, etc. It would of been nice to have a newer large griddle and/or a fry pan. Especially if you like to make big breakfasts or if there is a fisherman in your party. The current fry pans are warped. The southwest bedroom with the queen bed had a slight mildew odor which I did not notice but my husband did. The washer and dryer came in handy for cloths and wet towels. From the large deck we had a nice view of Big Platte Lake. The lake access and dock are shared with other cottages on the property but it was not a problem. The lake bottom is sandy and it is fairly shallow for quite a ways out. Thanks MItzi for sharing your cottage and beautiful lake!
