    I can’t say enough about this cozy and tranquil lakeside retreat. The cabin has that long ago nostalgic feel, but with all the needed modern conveniences. Beautiful views of the lake, and especially the sunsets, can be had from the roomy deck, vast yard, or dock. Jason Dryja is the best host we’ve worked with, providing great communication and excellent recommendations for activities throughout the local area. Also, the property is super dog friendly, with thoughtful amenities for furry guests. All-in-all, the cabin is a serene sanctuary that we hope to return to in the future!

    Wonderful lake house and fantastic host. We will surely be back. Kids loved swimming and fishing off the dock. The house was well equipped with anything you would need. Jason was super helpful and all his suggestions were all spot on.

    We had a wonderful stay at Sadie’s retreat. The beds were very comfortable, kitchen well-stocked, nice common spaces for family time, beautiful outdoor patio with view of the lake as soon as you wake up! We enjoyed the kayaks and games provided. We rented a tritoon from summertime rentals and were able to ski and tube. This part of the lake is so clear and much calmer than the bigger part of Lake Charlevoix. Because of that, we were able to do water sports all day.

    This home is well-stocked, organized, and clean. It is the most dog-friendly rental we have ever stayed in, which made it easy to have our good boy with us. Everything was perfect and Jason is an excellent host. If you stay here, we highly recommend taking the paddle boards out on the water to enjoy the sunset. Great memories were made at this place!

    Jason was an amazing host! The lake house is very clean, well-stocked with everyday needs (towels, blankets, sheets, pots & pans, cutlery, etc.). The location is amazing-we were able to drive short distances to Charlevoix, Walloon Lake, Boyne City, Petoskey, and the ferry to Mackinac Island. If you are looking for a vacation to restore calm in your life, this is the perfect place. We will absolutely stay here in the future!

    This was a great property on arguably the best lake to vacation in Michigan! Jason was beyond an accommodating host and the neighbors were extremely friendly. The fishing tips were also spot on! Will absolutely come back!!

    This was an ideal place for us to bring our elderly parents to pay homage to sentimental places and to visit with family that they hadn't seen in years. The location is wonderful - quiet, private street with several homes, great common space to gather, beautiful deck overlooking the South Arm and sunsets, sturdy dock with space at the end to jump in or relax, and a short drive to nearby East Jordan, Boyne City, or Charlevoix. We had everything we needed and more for our three night stay. Jason communicated via text and email before, during, and after our stay. The cottage was very clean with (at least) starter supplies of most of necessities. Jason also left some treats for humans as well as our two little canines, which was a thoughtful surprise. We definitely recommend this property (or any property managed by Jason!)

    This was really a great place to stay right on Lake Charlevoix. The host went out of his way to make sure that everything was well stocked, and that we would have a memorable experience. The house itself was in excellent shape and was very tastefully decorated. It had a warm, relaxing feel to it right from the start.

    Sadie’s retreat was a wonderful cabin tucked away on the northern side of the southern arm. Jason the host was very kind and responsive and you can tell he takes a lot of pride in making guests feel welcome. We loved our time there and hope to go back soon.

    Property was clean and as represented in photos. Perfect for our family dog too! Owner was very helpful in making sure our stay was pleasant and was easily available should any questions arise. Lakefront property had beautiful views to spend mornings with coffee and evening dinners on porch. Nothing but high praise from us all and all paws up from our dog!
