The house is more spacious than the pictures make it seem. Highly recommend staying here, communication with Ryan was quick and he answered any additional questions I had. Very peaceful property and a clean place to stay.

My family of two teenagers and my parents visited and celebrated my parent's 50th anniversary. Inside and out the house was great whether we were coming and going or just relaxing at Hidden Springs. The lake access; beach, boats, and dock, really helped us escape our daily reality and enjoy the beautiful and peaceful lake. Communication with the owners was great and I can't thank them enough for how they helped us know more about the area so we could make the most of our time. Watching my 75-year-old dad catch a nice smallmouth bass while sitting in the back of a comfortable canoe will be a lasting memory. I can't think of a single drive or walk up or down the driveway off M-22 when we didn't see a deer or rabbit saying goodbye or welcoming us "home." Being able to hike through a beautiful forest to dunes and the Lake Michigan shoreline without getting in the car was a treat. A quick drive to Frankfort brought us views of lighthouses and Crystal Lake, ice cream, bike trails, and good food. It was also nice to be able to choose from three beautiful area golf courses each under $50 per round. We've stayed at several wonderful homes in northwestern Michigan, but this is the one that had everything we could possibly be looking for. The only reason we can't stay again next year is that we will be travelling with a much larger group. Otherwise, Hidden Springs will certainly be top of the list for future getaways.

As always, we were greeted to the home by the cool breeze coming off the lake drifting through the double patio doors, into the clean and tidy home that would be ours for the next week. The tranquility persisted throughout the week, ranging from the call of the loons to wake us at daylight, to the frogs and crickets lulling us to sleep at night. This is a superb spot for relaxation off the beaten path, but we'll within distance of countless activities, more than what can be seen and done in a week for sure!

This was an amazing place! Just as beautiful as the pictures show. The property owner was great as well, fast in response time and super helpful! Our family enjoyed the quality time we were able to get from this stay. Would highly recommend this property!!

Perfect place for our visit to Sleeping Bear National Park. Our grandkids loved fishing from the dock as well as from the canoes, kayaks and row boat. Lots of perch, blue gill, bass turtles and dragonflies. Well stock kitchen for fixing meals. Comfy beds. Laundry came in handy. Quiet and peaceful. Saw beavers, geese with their babies and a raccon came up on the back deck. No one was bored with so much to do.

From the moment we entered the front door and could look through the house onto the lake, we knew we were staying in the right place!! It was such a beautiful drive around Crystal Lake to get there, and then being on Long Lake was just perfect. The house was bigger than it appeared on the listing, and so lovely. It had everything we needed for preparing dinner when we just wanted to enjoy a relaxing night in. We loved having the canoes and kayaks available to explore the lake. Watching the sunrise over the lake was a perfect way to start each day!! We also took full advantage of the deck, the grill, and the fire pit. I also want to mention how amazing the star gazing is from this property. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen so many stars.
During our stay we visited Sleeping Bear Dunes, Frankfort, Beulah, Glen Arbor, and more. The view from the dunes is breathtaking, and each little town is cuter than the next. Plenty of outdoor adventure, restaurants, shops, and wineries to entertain everyone in the family, all within 30 minutes of the property. We will definitely be back!!

This was our third year staying at this beautiful home on Long Lake. The location is lovely, the small private beach has lots of sand to play in and a dock from which to watch the sunrises and sunsets, the home is spacious and includes everything needed, the owners are very helpful and responsive. We love this area and the home and Tiny House. Can’t wait to return!

Perfect Location!
We loved this lakefront property that is located slightly off the beaten path on a private road. Wonderful wildlife sightings including otters, fawns, loons and ducks. The house has great windows for views of the lake. The property had everything we needed for our week there. It is also close to National Lakeshore hiking trails that lead to Lake Michigan. We definitely were upset to leave. The only thing we struggled with was slow wifi service, which sometimes is a great way to disconnect and enjoy the surroundings.

Such a great location!
My family absolutely loved this cottage. The location could not be better - absolutely amazing! We enjoyed our morning coffee on the sandy beach in Adirondack chairs watching ducks, birds, rabbits, deer. And then every evening we got a show from the resident otter.
We were able to utilize the row boat and kayaks provided daily. Cottage is stock with everything we needed and very clean. Owners were super responsive. We will be back!!

This property has all the amenities I needed to get away completely from the rest of the world!
Outstanding and rapid communication with Ryan each time I had a question.
We had such a great time getting out on the rowboat and kayaks every single day of the week. The kids never asked for the TV to be turned on once. They were having such a great time playing in the water and on the beach.
I highly recommend this place if you are looking to unplug and enjoy the natural beauty of Benzie and surrounding counties.

My wife and two children (both under 4) stayed here for 4 nights and had a great time on the private beach and dock. Also at the time of this review, was able to use provided firewood for indoor and outdoor fires in the fireplace/firepit. Walking distance to the trailhead that gets you to lake Michigan with about a 2 mile hike. And an easy 15 min drive to Frankfort which has a lot to offer in terms of shops, restaurants, Stormcloud Brewey and a great bike/running path. Wonderful stay and would highly recommend!

This property was an incredible landing spot for some much-needed rest and relaxation. We found the property to be quiet and peaceful, even at the times the lake was busiest with activity. We even loved the rainy days!
Ryan was fast to respond to messages every step of the way. It is transparent they want the renter/guest to be comfortable in and love the space as much as they do. Not only in the way they equipped the home to make it more comfortable for guests, the huge DVD collection was a nice start. But more importantly, how they approached communicating. That’s a special kind of x-factor not all vacation rental owners seem to bring to the dynamic. Thanks, y’all.
We would absolutely consider staying here again when wanting a break from technology and able to leave work at home. The only barrier to booking this place for a “working vacation” was the internet speed. If you need to do something such as a video conference, as warned, the system just isn’t designed to support it. However, if it’s a concern for your upcoming trip - Verizon had a strong signal and a hot spot would have worked well for short 1-off connectivity needs.

It was a wonderful, relaxing get away. Hidden away but easy access to food, hiking, food and wine. Did I mention food?? So many little towns each with its own treasures. We were there at the beginning of autumn but I feel a must experience any time of the year. Thank you for the hospitality!!

Such a wonderful property! From the moment we entered it felt like we were in our own home. The house was extremely comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked; even had roasting sticks for marshmallows and brats! We appreciated the extensive library of DVDs and games and utilized it every night we were there. The view from the rear of the house was beautiful - especially stunning at sunrise. Having a bonfire pit, dock and canoes, kayaks and rowboat to enjoy the lake made it even better than home. Would really like to return with our kids and grandkids next year some time. Sure they would love it as much as we did! If you are looking for a private, quiet, comfortable space, look no further! Thank you to Ryan & Kylah for an amazing stay!!!

Perfect lakeside home
We just stayed here for the second time, and enjoyed the home and property immensely! The home is clean, well-furnished, on a sweet small sandy beach, and even has kayaks available. The tiny house is a perfect addition for a little more space and privacy. Communication with the owners is easy, and they are very helpful. We can’t wait to return!

We enjoyed our stay at this house. The beach was great for kids to play at, and they also enjoyed going out on the boats. The water was nice and shallow at the beach area, and out quite a ways, so we didn’t have to worry much about the littler ones.
Ryan, the property owner, was always quick to respond to any questions and was very helpful.
My mother stayed at the tiny house also, and it was a nice get away from the kids when she needed to rest.

I cannot say enough about how impressive this home was. Tucked away just off of M22 you have nothing but the sounds of breeze, birds and water. The pictures on VRBO do not do it justice. The rooms are all very spacious even though it was just the two of us. Everything was clean and tidy when we arrived. Check-in was super easy and Ryan was quick to respond and ready to help with any questions you may have. Thanks again for a great stay!

This was a perfect place for a long weekend getaway. This was the first time my family traveled with our babies ( 1 year old and 10 month old) and this house was every mother’s dream. Very baby friendly, and also had a nice yard for us to play outside in. Being on the lake was a bonus for the dads, because they got some fishing in. Great area surrounding to explore. Not to mention the owners were very accommodating to work with. We will definitely be returning for a future vacation!

Delightful Up North
This was an absolutely perfect place to stay! The home was clean and welcoming, the beach lovely, kayaks and a canoe to float around the beautiful lake, a fully-stocked firepit... We didn't want to leave! There is a wonderful trailhead across the street; Frankfort, Sleeping Bear, and Empire are just short drives away; fun to be had at St Ambrose and the Iron Fish; the Cherry Hut... We will definitely be back!
