If you are looking for the perfect northern getaway, this cottage is an absolute dream! From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the amazing views—you can see the water out of almost every single window. The entire setting is incredibly serene, relaxing, and peaceful, and the lake itself was beautifully calm and clear. Even though it feels like a private nature retreat, it is highly convenient and close enough to grocery stores and the airport, which made traveling so much easier. The house was perfectly stocked with pretty much everything you could need for a comfortable stay. We absolutely loved soaking in the hot tub and spending time down by the large beach area. It also served as a great central location for all of our exploring up north. We cannot recommend this place enough and would love to stay here again!
-
Wow! This gem really is better than the pictures. The property has to be the best on the lake -- large, secluded, and quiet. What a gorgeous setting. We really enjoyed hearing the loons, looking for pestoskey/charlevoix stones, having our kids run around on the beach, and the charm of the cottage. We made great memories as a family, and we hope to make it back another summer. Thank you, Dan and Lisa!

It was even better than the pictures! We loved it. Dan communicated with us throughout and even had a little basket of snacks and a card telling my husband happy 40th birthday. Great experience!
