Perfect setting for a quiet weekend away to celebrate our anniversary! Remote, yet close enough to do a day trip anywhere in Northern Michigan. We love the charm and finishing touches on this cottage, would definitely stay again!

We loved this place and the management were great to work with! We had a little problem and they responded immediately. The kayaks were so great to have and just sitting on the dock by the river was a dream. Will definitely come back!

Our winter stay was wonderful! The cabin was cozy and well-appointed (we especially loved the woodburning stove), and the location is unbeatable - quiet and serene, but conveniently close to Kalkaska and Traverse City. Emily was super responsive before and during the trip, and truly went above and beyond to make sure our trip was enjoyable. We hope to visit again soon!

A perfect stay!! Such a charming, beautiful and thoughtful rental. The hosts are so helpful and responsive. No detail of a comfortable stay goes overlooked. The cabin is impeccably clean. The river in the back is so clear and serene. Being able to kayak on it was perfection!! So close to torch lake (definitely rent a boat!!!) and the cute village of Alden.

Serenity on the water! This place surpassed my expectations. The location is perfect if you are seeking a peaceful place away from the hustle and bustle of life. It’s close to Torch Lake. It’s about 45 minutes from Traverse City if you’re seeking a busier, more touristy location with beautiful beaches for a day outing. The home was perfect for my friend and I and our 3 kids. There was more sleeping space had we needed it. The outdoor shower is amazing, so much that the kids fought over who could shower first! The host has thought of all the little things you may need. It’s stocked with plenty of regular and beach towels, shampoo and conditioner and body wash, and all the little things you may need on the fly. There’s a Dollar General nearby if needed. We had a little misunderstanding on check-out time. VRBO and the paperwork inside said 11am. Apparently this is changed to 10am in the summer. We communicated over the matter and the host was fixing that when I left. The host is one of the best communicators I’ve had for a VRBO. Take floats; you’ll love them in the river!
