I can’t say enough about this cozy and tranquil lakeside retreat. The cabin has that long ago nostalgic feel, but with all the needed modern conveniences. Beautiful views of the lake, and especially the sunsets, can be had from the roomy deck, vast yard, or dock. Jason Dryja is the best host we’ve worked with, providing great communication and excellent recommendations for activities throughout the local area. Also, the property is super dog friendly, with thoughtful amenities for furry guests. All-in-all, the cabin is a serene sanctuary that we hope to return to in the future!

Wonderful lake house and fantastic host. We will surely be back. Kids loved swimming and fishing off the dock. The house was well equipped with anything you would need. Jason was super helpful and all his suggestions were all spot on.

We had a wonderful stay at Sadie’s retreat. The beds were very comfortable, kitchen well-stocked, nice common spaces for family time, beautiful outdoor patio with view of the lake as soon as you wake up! We enjoyed the kayaks and games provided. We rented a tritoon from summertime rentals and were able to ski and tube. This part of the lake is so clear and much calmer than the bigger part of Lake Charlevoix. Because of that, we were able to do water sports all day.

This home is well-stocked, organized, and clean. It is the most dog-friendly rental we have ever stayed in, which made it easy to have our good boy with us. Everything was perfect and Jason is an excellent host. If you stay here, we highly recommend taking the paddle boards out on the water to enjoy the sunset. Great memories were made at this place!
