Spring Vacation

We had a great week exploring the Spring sites in and around the Sleeping Bear area. The house was very clean, quiet and cozy; perfect for our stay. Much nicer bath and kitchen than similar places we’ve stayed in the area.

A beautiful little cottage in one of the most gorgeous areas of Michigan. The cottage had everything we needed for a family of six. It brings a sense of peace and escape from the hustle and bustle! The beds were comfortable. The location is great...so close to some glorious beaches. We also boat, so this was a great location to get on many different lakes with little effort. Thanks for a wonderful stay for our family to make more up north memories.

My husband and I enjoyed our two week stay in this cute cosy cottage. It was was very comfortable, including the king bed, and it had pretty much everything we needed for our stay, including a well equipped kitchen. It is in a very quiet and peaceful location, close to Sleeping Bear dunes, Frankfort and many hiking trails and beaches. The air conditioning was appreciated for some of the hotter days and when air quality was poor due to Canadian wildfires.We hope to be back!

Vacation getaway

Had a wonderful vacation for the wife and I to unwind and relax. The cabin was just perfect and we truly enjoyed every moment. The Cabin was well stocked with everything we needed. We saw deer every evening in the forest surrounding our little cottage in the woods.
