Enjoyed spending time at the lake and a great location for a day trip to Mackinac Island or the UP. The house is as advertised - with space to relax inside, on the porch, or on the dock chairs with your morning coffee.

Great lake getaway

The lake house was clean, tidy and just as advertised. The lake is beautiful, and the recently updated home is exceptional. This house is ideal for lazy lake days, and also very convenient to Mackinac Island, Petoskey and even Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes if you are willing to take a bit of a drive. Highly recommended!

A dream place on a gorgeous lake. We love this picturesque, gorgeous property. Our family has booked twice and loved both times. Our son is disabled with health concerns so having a bedroom on the first floor with AC makes it so he can always be a part of the fun. Thank you to Laura for being such an incredible host. We have such special memories at this place.

This cottage is simply fantastic. The location is quiet and steps from the water. The view is spectacular. The cottage is clean and extremely well appointed. Laura has stocked everything you could need. It felt like going to a friend's home! If we could give a higher than 10 rating, we would. Truly a home away from home, with extra care and detail into every aspect of this cottage and a guest's needs. We have never returned to a VRBO before. We will absolutely return to this cottage!
