Couldn’t ask for a better stay. Cabin is gorgeous and so very cozy. Everything you need is provided. Location is perfect for day trips all over upper Michigan.
Upon arrival there is a musty smell and felt damp inside. Probably could use a dehumidifier. It was a colder week for our stay, once the furnace was turned on, that helped a lot. The cabin is what it shows in the pictures. Coffee drinkers beware, it will take a loooonggg time for coffee to brew! Haha. The lake is beautiful, water was warm enough for us and we enjoyed taking our boat out. Our big issue is the kitchen sink drain. As soon as water was turned on the drain backs up. It will drain slowly. I contacted the property owner and he was obviously aware of the issue, as he said there was a plunger under the sink. We plunged a lot and it never fixed the issue, hubby said it is more than just a clogged drain, probably needs a plumber. This was a huge disappointment since you expect a working sink in a kitchen. Made washing dishes a pain (and yes, after the first night we used paper plates, but still had pans,bowls, glasses and cups) as well as trying to rinse veggies and such. Oh, and the kitchen faucet had a huge leak. Thank God my husband is handy and he fixed that. I even took a picture for the memory! ? Overall, aside from the sink issues which hopefully the host will call a plumber and get that fixed....it was a great place. Located just down the road from the boat launch and close to the waterway to crooked lake. Nice fire pit. Gas and charcoal grill and a good yard for yard games. Great memories were made this past week.
We cannot thank you again enough for allowing us to rent this year - we had a wonderful time and hope we're allowed to come next year!
This was a nice cottage in a great location! We enjoyed being very close to Petoskey, Harbor, Springs, Indian river, and Mackinac. There were fireworks on the Fourth of July in Petoskey and Harbor Springs, that you could see pretty much anywhere from a good bay location. The highlight of the cottage is definitely the lake outback and the property leading up to it. The cottage itself is nice and pretty cute. We enjoyed the rustic look and knotty pine interior. The cottage had most everything we needed and was comfortable. Some of the downsides to the cottage itself are: no dishwasher, no central air just one window unit, the bathroom seemed a little small and kind of dirty. A great perk was having a washer and dryer though. Overall, our family had a great time and found ourselves just relaxing by the water, enjoying fishing, swimming, boating, and everything else the area had to offer when we were done with our lake time.
Locating property was tricky but gps will guide you. This property has enough room for easily 5 adults and pets ; we cant be thankful enough for the pups tagging along. Lakeside with all modern amenities you will be taken away by the hidden awesomeness. 20 minutes outside big city needs . Check it out everyone...
The cabin was exactly as pictured. Cute and cozy and we had everything that we needed. The loft worked out really well for our older boys. There was a bonfire pit down by the lake which made it wonderful for watching sunsets. We enjoyed fishing from the dock and had a lot of luck! The location is great because it’s close to Downtown Petoskey, Charlevoix, and Boyne. We will definitely be back :)
We stayed for a quick weekend and enjoyed our stay. The lake is beautiful and we loved using the grill out back.
This cabin would be great for those wanting a peaceful time of fishing and staying in a log cabin. The cabin is really neat and the property is beautiful. However, the beds were awful to lay on. None of us slept well, so if you're looking for a comfy stay this isn't the place for you. The cabin also had a very strong, odd smell and triggered all of our allergies. My eyes were itchy and swollen by morning, my mom's asthma flared up, and all 3 of us were sneezing and coughing by morning. We checked out early and got a hotel.
Couldn't beat the scenery or the cabin for the area - would definitely recommend (if I weren't so selfishly wanting to keep my secret to myself)
Cute cabin with pretty views of the lake. Nicely decorated cabin. We had everything we needed. The location was good with easy driving to anywhere in the area. Mike was responsive and the cabin was comfortable. The only suggestion I have is the dust and cobwebs were an allergy trigger for me so a good cleaning would be helpful. The kitchen drain was not a pleasant chore to deal with because it slowly drained making washing dishes difficult. Otherwise, this is a nice getaway which has a very nice setting!
