A picnic table is available just off the deck for outdoor meals, and there are lots of games and movies for evening or rainy weather fun. TV, DVD player, wifi, and bluetooth speaker available for electronic entertainment. The rental/cleaning fee includes all linens (pillows, sheets, blankets, down comforters, and bath towels).

Wonderful area. Cottage was thoughtfully setup. Right on the water of a beautiful, mostly calm, sandy bottom lake. Plenty to do in the area...we choose to do very little and peace prevailed. May well do it again soon.

Great location to explore the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore. Cottage is in a quiet and peaceful setting with a good choice of local eateries. Don’t forget to pick up a cherry pie at the Cherry Hut restaurant in Beulah.

My husband and I rented this cozy cabin on Big Platte Lake. It was close to Sleeping Bear Dunes which we visited on one day of our stay. The second day was spent in our small boat fishing on the lake. The cabin is the closest of 6 to the water with beautiful sunsets. It has a well-stocked kitchen, an outdoor gas grill, movies and games to enjoy in the evening. I enjoyed reading a large supply of travel magazines. Melissa was easy to communicate with and a friendly host. We would definitely rent again.

Beautiful views from this cozy little cabin. My wife and daughter must have said, “it’s so cute!” 100 times during our stay. Very clean. Beds were very comfortable. Just a great little place!

We rented this property for Ironman race weekend. It was right in front of the water and easy to get to the dock to swim. The area was quiet and we had a nice view of the sunset. The sleeping arrangements were comfortable and it was just the right size for our family of 3. Melissa was very responsive if we had any questions!

The cottage was clean and had great supplies of kitchen and linen items. Parking is a problem if all the cabins in the group are occupied for anyone with a boat and truck and trailer. The tandem parking area is misleading. Great sunset views and a nice little beach area is available.

Great location for relaxation and exploration
This cottage was perfect for my family of four. We arrived to a very clean and tidy space that was exactly as described. The cottage is small but we never felt cramped. We spent a lot of our time on the deck that faces the lake, eating at the picnic table and watching the sunset from the dock. Their are shared common areas with the other cottages but everyiwas friendly and respectful of quiet hours. The location was very convenient to explore the Sleeping Bear Dunes and the surrounding lake towns. We all very much enjoyed our time here.

Lovey little waterfront cottage
This cottage was just perfect for our stay. It was furnished with everything that you could need. I enjoyed many evening sunsets from the deck and listening to the waves lap the sandy beach. This cottage shares the beach front and community property.
Communication with the owner was effortless. She is very responsive. We didn't have any issues during our stay!

The cabin was too small to comfortably accommodate four people. It should be listed to accommodate two. We had to leave our vacation early because of the tight quarters. The rental contact would not offer a partial refund. Furthermore, there was swimmers itch in the lake which we weren’t told about until it was too late to find a new place to go.

Certainly will rent this property again. Convenient to the SBD activities and our families regular camp ground. Pleasant cottage with nice sunsets.

It is a beautiful property right on the lake. It had all the amenities and was very clean with quaint touches. Ideal for family with kids- lots of games, dvds, books, grill etc. However the size was a bit smaller than expected. Overall great stay!
