Quiet Weekend
This was the perfect place for my partner and I to enjoy a weekend away in Northern Michigan. We spent one day on Mackinac Island, which was easy to get to from this location. Cute small cottage feel but with all the amenities you could want for a few days vacation.

End of year family/friends visit
Loved the cottage and its charm. Hosts were very respectful of privacy. A bit close to the main house but again, the hosts made that a non-issue. Thank you and the cottage small will remain on our list for future visits!

Weekend Getaway
The house was just as described and pictured. It was very clean and comfortable. Hearing the roosters crow and watching the cows graze in the mornings made for the perfect scene to drink your coffee to out on the porch. Will definitely be staying here again!

Great Little Getaway!
We loved our stay here. Even though there was road construction and increased traffic due to a detour, we did not notice it at all! Everything was clean and so nicely decorated. The kitchen area was nicely stocked with everything you need to make a quick bite, if you so choose. Location was really nice as it was a quick drive to Petoskey, Harbor Springs and Mackinaw City. Perfect as a home base for day trips.

Cute and cozy cottage
We absolutely adored this cozy, little cottage. We were looking for something secluded and off the beaten path, and this place was perfect. The host responded immediately when we asked for local restaurant recommendations and provided us with a cooler and cold packs to take on our kayaking adventure. We would definitely return.

Great little cottage
My husband & I celebrated our anniversary here. Quiet setting, host friendly & quick to respond with questions. Great location between Mackinaw City & Petoskey. We did a lot of exploring . Found some great restaurants such as Rusty Saw recommended by host, Moosejaw Junction had great Walleye & Violas for yummy pizza. Enjoyed the near by bike trail. Nice relaxing stay. Hoping to come back again in the future

Well stocked cottage with everything you need for a getaway weekend for 2. Quiet and picturesque property. Could have used a blind instead of just a sheer on the door since the bedroom is at the bottom of the stairs.

Happiest Little Home Away From Home
The home was just as advertised in the notes and pictures (super cute!). The location was close to Mackinaw City as well as Petosky, and the town itself was cute. Perfect getaway for a single person or a couple. Enough amenities to get you through each day and a nice place to come back to for relaxation and sleep. The hosts were extremely friendly and met me on my first night there. They also saw me when I left, and were very kind throughout my entire trip. I will definitely return!

Cozy cabin.
Cabin was very cute. Problem we had was we are over 65 and have mobility issues. Did not realize bedroom was down a fairly steep set of stairs. Had to make sure didnt make many trips downstairs. Area was beautiful and quiet. Just what we were looking for.

Needs more pictures and descriptions of the listing.
The cottage had an odor. More pictures of the listing would have been helpful to show the size of the shower- extremely small and the bedroom in the basement. The mattress was very uncomfortable. Sofa was small and not comfortable for two people to sit on. Overall defiantly not worth the money paid.
