Hemlock Cottage on beautiful Pikes Lake

The house was very clean, and the host was very accommodating. We enjoyed our stay and would come back again.

Upon arrival, our hearts warmed immediately to the beauty that enveloped us, taking us into another world experience. The home was inviting, clean, and had everything we needed. We definately will be staying here again in the future. Thank you!!

Great stay highly recommend!

Best Ive stayed at and Ive stayed at a lot! By far the cleanest. The view is amazing. Love having no neighbors! The 3 rooms and 3 bathrooms fit our family and friends great! Love the screened in porch and the porch outside to sit in the mornings! Will be coming again!

My extended family, including kids, stayed at this cottage while visiting Northern MI for an extended weekend. It’s such a charming home that allows you to settle in or visit the variety of destinations just a short drive away. This cottage is kept clean and has everything one may need. It’s spacious and easily fit 6 adults with 4 young kids. The property is beautiful, as it sits nestled in the woods with a view out towards a pond in the back. This is our second time staying here. Would certainly recommend to any visitors wanting to visit the Leelanau or Sleeping Bear Region.

Just outstanding with everything necessary for a great stay! Wonderful amount of space for our three couples and such a serene setting! Close to all the wonderful sites in the area we wanted to enjoy. We all had a great time!

Outstanding accommodations in a beautiful setting. Everything about the property is spectacular! We are hoping to return next year for a longer stay.Both the check-in and check-out processes were fast and simple. The cottage was well stocked and very comfortable.

We stayed at this property for four nights in early September with four adults and two kids while attending a family wedding at BlueBridge. The cottage exceeded our expectations—it was even more beautiful than the pictures!Despite experiencing rain most days, the property itself was lovely, and the kids had a blast exploring and hunting for rocks and acorns. We were also able to enjoy the fire pit and outdoor pavilion on our one dry evening, which was a highlight.The house was incredibly well-equipped with everything we could possibly need—from paper products and first aid kits to puzzles and games. Inside, it was spacious and comfortable; nobody felt cramped at all. The kids loved the foosball table in the basement and were thrilled to sleep in the bunk beds while Mom and Dad stayed in the queen bed in the same basement bedroom.Our only minor note (and really, it’s very minor) is that the Keurig coffee machine is quite loud when the pump kicks on—so much so that you can hear it all the way in the basement! If others are sleeping, just be aware it sounds like a tiny airplane taking off.Overall, we had an amazing stay and would highly recommend this cottage to anyone traveling with a large group!

The cottage was beautiful and even better than in the photos!! We enjoyed the living room, all seasons porch, and outdoor areas. Would definitely stay again!

The house is spacious and has so many comfortable seating areas. The kitchen was better equipped than my own house. Check-in and out was very easy. We enjoyed the Lake Ann area nearby.

Lovely, clean and comfortable. Great location. Close to Sleeping Bear Dunes and also Traverse City. Very enjoyable!

Great home in quiet area

Cabin is great and property is amazing. The covered pavilion was perfect to host games at night under the lights. Enough rooms/beds for everyone in company. Everything we needed right under one roof. Just far enough from traverse city to avoid the craziness, but close enough to still go enjoy the city during the day. Would love to come back in the future!

Clean, and great location!

It was great. It could only be better if we had SNOW . The Kerr Clan of 7 family members from down state, travel every other year to Traverse to celebrate Christmas with our daughter and family. We all appreciate you allowing us to stay at your beautiful home.Our grandsons want to come back this summer Thank you,The Kerr Clan there.

This was a clean and cozy home to spend our girls weekend in. The setting and the home were stunning. Our group of friends had the best time and the home was perfect. All amenities are as described and provided even more. The property was beautiful during this fall season and we were able to enjoy seeing the wildlife. This is a house is not to be missed and we already plan on returning.

Very relaxing. The property and the house are fantastic. It's a very serene place to be. Everyone in the group really enjoyed the property! Hopefully we'll book this place again in the future.

Hemlock Cottage was absolutely perfect for our getaway with friends! The property had so much space inside, and it was well-equilled with everything we could ever need. The back porch was a wonderful place to sip coffee/tea while taking in the views. It was just about 20 minutes into the heart of downtown TC. We would definitely stay her again!

Very relaxing and beautiful place back in the woods with a very clean and comfortable inside

The home was very clean and comfortable. There are lots of spaces to gather together making it a great spot for an extended family vacation. The location is great with a lot to explore within a thirty minute drive. We really enjoyed our stay!

My family (8 of us) stayed here for a week & everything was great. The house was clean & there was plenty of room for all of us. Not only space to gather together, but space to separate as well. There are lots of amenities and plenty of provided appliances & kitchenware to be able to cook meals all week, including gas & charcoal grills on the porch. The place is very private with a view of some woods & a pond. There is a big back porch with lots of chairs plus a large hammock in the trees in the back to chill in & enjoy the beautiful & peaceful scenery from, which was our favorite part. The nearby pond is inaccessible & not swimmable or fishable but does bring in lots of wildlife to watch. We saw & heard a pair of eagles flying around & perching in the trees near the pond all week. Lots of other birds & wildlife too including a couple deer who visited early in the morning. There's even a set of binoculars to help take in the wild life. There is a large covered pavillion in the back as well with tables & chairs and a fire pit for outdoor entertaining. Plenty of fallen trees and tree branches to collect to build a fire. There is also enough open green space in back to play outdoor games. There's even a storage chest with some yard games, balls, & a volleyball net. The basement has a foosball table & is stocked with lots of board games & books. All in all we enjoyed every bit of the house and property & would definitely rent here again.
