Super Quiet and Relaxing!
Kitchen had every tool, grill was awesome. Hot tub, was great to watch the stars. Only thing I would have asked is a heads up on the neighbors letting their dogs run free. Beyond that, perfect stay.

Excellent rental in a beautiful part of the state
Made good use of all of the amenities of the cabin including the hot tub, paddle boat, fishing rods, grill, fire pit, and kitchen utensils. Probably the first ones to turn on the furnace for the season as well and it kicked out heat in a hurry. Would strongly consider staying again.

Very clean cottage!
Very nice place with plenty of room and easy access to the Northern portion of Michigan. Nice view and a quiet neighborhood. I read another post that talked about the neighbors dogs but they were not a problem at all. They would bark but run away as fast as they could! LOL! Recommended!

Instant serenity
The property is beautiful and so is the cottage and bunkhouse. We had so much privacy it felt like our own little lake. If you like birds you will not be disappointed, we identified several species we have never seen before. It is very well kept, with nice furniture, appliances, and outdoor areas. Total Chef's kitchen for cooking and nice dining area. The artwork and finishing touches like carved light covers, lamps made from tree roots with wooden shades, and big chunky log bed frames. We were instantly at peace at this property, so quiet and serene you can't help but enjoy letting go of all the day to day worries and just be there. The paddle boat is challenging for one person and the lake level was fairly low. A kayak would be a better vessel for this lake in my opinion. Fantastic fire circle complete with a S'mores kit that we thoroughly enjoyed. We didn't fish but it has everything you need except for a license and bait. This cottage is a very good value for a more rural setting. We visited the Twin Stevens and Bruski Sinks. Mystery Valley with earth cracks. They are geological wonders that you won't want to miss. These hosts know what they are doing and it shows in many, many ways. I highly recommend this gem.
