The perfect spot for our family! We loved the sandy beach and beautiful views. The cottage was very clean. We will be back!

Great lake house with plenty of lake toys to play with. Quite lake to avoid the business of peak season in Traverse City, but not a bad drive in town when needed. Nice having three bed rooms with larger room being loft room. Only have one window AC unit in the loft room, but plenty of fans provided by property owners to help circulate air throughout the entire house.Only thing would mention is in regards to families with infants, pack and play would be very tight to fit in the lower two bedrooms, so we stuck with the baby in the loft with my wife. Baby gate was available which was helpful.

This was our third time to visit this property. It is a very special place--always immaculate. The owner is alwaysdoing something to improve the property. Two years ago they added something special to the property with an extension of the patio to include a firepit which we enjoyed every night. The house is located on a small quiet lake. We rented a pontoon boat and the kids loved tubing! I am sure we will return,

The experience overall was positive. Both Christine and her husband were responsive thorough-out and helpful. The cottage came with some essentials, like lots of kids toys, a couple boats, a washer-dryer, towels, and beach toys. There is also a great fire pit and plenty of firewood.
There were some drawbacks. The two proper bedrooms have little ventilation, the ladder on at least one of the bunk beds was loose, and the tall dresser in one of the rooms is not fastened to the wall - things to have on your radar if your kids are young. The third bedroom is a loft, which is not clear from the listing. There are anthills in the yard and a beehive hanging over the beach so we spent more time away from the house than planned (hopefully that has been removed).
Finally, when we left, we were charged an additional sum for damages and additional cleaning. Some of it may be fair, since our young ones did get some crayon on things when were packing up (we are sorry). However, the rest seemed like nitpicking to justify the exorbitant charge, such as leaving dirty dishes on the counter (which was inaccurate — they were clean and there is no dishwasher), a broken water cooler (only the cold water button was working on arrival), and dinging us for leaving beach towels stacked outside when there are no checkout instructions. In short, it was fair for the owner to charge us for the crayons but just be aware that they may charge you for extras if they’re annoyed.
