The cottage is great for a couple or small family with a large front and rear deck. Beautiful surrounding fields and wooded lots for walks around the property. The cottage sits about a 150 yards off of a relatively busy road with vehicle noise that can be heard from the house. There is another home on the property that is occupied by a permanent resident however they were not seen or heard. The property is very close to many outdoor activities. We enjoyed skiing at the Black Mountain Cross Country Trail system about 20 minutes north. Communication with the host was perfect and check in/out was without difficulty. Overall it was a pleasant experience.

Great Getaway!

We really enjoyed staying at the cabin. The bed is comfortable for a good nights sleep. The walk-in shower was very helpful for my husband who has back problems. The cabin was clean and well stocked with different items in case someone forgets something. The kitchen had a lot of supplies with plenty of counter space. It was really nice to sit on the back porch and enjoy the country setting.

Relaxing Stay

We spent 3 nights in this cozy, comfortable, very clean, and very well stocked home. Many antiques in and outside, and wild flowers around the property abound! We were especially appreciative of all the environmentally friendly aspects of the home! It was a wonderful home base for biking the Huron Sunset Trail (so pretty along Lake Huron), hiking to the Ocqueoc Falls, and visiting Mackinaw Island (45 min away). Would definitely stay here again. Thinking it would be lovely in winter!

The cabin was easy to find, set back from the road, and well-appointed. There were notes from the owners about how to use the appliances and best practices, making everything easy to use and understand. There was a shop nearby, and several restaurants, all of which were friendly with great food.We got stormed on during one of our days, and it was a pleasure to just hang around and play games.

Everything we needed and flowers!

The cabin is lovely and had everything we needed. We cooked two nights and the kitchen was stocked with appropriate cookware. The flowers outside were lovely even though it is near the end of the season. The furniture was quite comfortable. Our favorite activity was sitting on the back porch. We enjoyed watching the peacocks and all the other birds and butterflies that came for the flowers. There was a huge thunderstorm while we were there and we both love the sound of rain on the roof. The downstairs bed was comfortable. We did not use the loft room. Our dog also enjoyed being there particularly laying on the back porch. The only disappointment was the road noise which surprised us but can't be helped. We would definitely stay here again.

One of the Best Stsys

The property was delightful all around. The cabin is great & the temperature controls worked well. It was quiet and the only ‘visitors’ were the 3 strolling Peacocks out for their evening wander. One of the best stats I’ve had.
