Lovely cabin. It had everything we needed and is centrally located to different sights and restaurants. Beautiful view too, very peaceful. Only negative for me is that the water is too shallow to swim, but this was easily resolved by going to Roger’s Beach, which I highly recommend and is not that far away. Host was very helpful with my questions and very prompt with responses.

Great stay! The cottage is cozy and had everything we needed for our long weekend! Water was amazing - shallow with sandbars sprinkled in for hundreds of feet out! The kids (14, 12, 10 & 8) loved exploring, kayaking, going for a walk in the water and swimming. Our host, Heather was very responsive to any questions I had.Highly recommend - we will be back!

Awesome lakefront property, huge spacious cabin, amazing view of the lake, (lake is a giant wading pond - very shallow for about 50 yards - great for kids)Kitchen and grill were decent. AC was good.Only drawback was the bathroom and the water - no ventilation in bathroom, and there was a noticeable smell after taking a shower

Very Enjoyable

Our stay at the Sunset Beach Cottage was very good. The cottage is well stocked with kitchen ware, furniture, towels and linens as advertised. The furniture was comfortable and the tv/internet were excellent. The cottage was clean and the check in and check out processes were reasonable and efficient. The sunsets were great. The lakeshore and lake are best for small children. The lake is shallow for hundreds of yards out from shore. This is better for walking in the water than for swimming or kayaking. The cottage is adjacent to the highway, but the yard on the lake side is large and allows some privacy along the very large water frontage. The well water has very high mineral content, typical of this area. We found the well water worked well for showers and laundry, however, we purchased water for drinking and cooking.In total our stay was very enjoyable and we are considering a return visit in the future.

Great view!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Lake is beautiful. Loved the kayaks. The amenities were great, but the cottage still maintained that rustic charm. We were very happy we were able to bring our dog. Check in and out process was very easy. Owner was very responsive and informative. We will definitely stay again.

Fantastic Family Vacation!

This cottage is perfect for a family beach vacation. The beach and shoreline is gradual entry and very shallow - so it was ideal for young kids to explore. The cabin was clean, spacious, and well equipped with everything we needed. The sunsets we saw, nearly every night, were stunning. Overall, this property is excellent for anyone looking for a relaxing beach vacation away from the crowds.

This is a nice cabin with a fabulous view. Our only problem was finding the cabin. My GPS wasn't accurate. I ended up sending a message to the host who within 5 minutes called me. With his help we were able to find the cabin within 10 minutes.

Great views on the lake, in the middle of all the action!

I booked this adventure to see and learn about different aspects of U.P. Michigan. I got what i asked for, its pretty well perfectly set between Mackinaw and Escanaba. Plenty of beautiful views and offroading. The cabin was warm, during some chilly days for a Kentuckian who left a state at 80 degrees!

Perfect Weekend Getaway

We had a fantastic time at the Beach Cottage with our dog. The cabin itself was gorgeous and had everything we could have possibly needed. It was cold and somewhat rainy for the weekend, but the pellet stove and space heaters made for a couple cozy nights on the couch. Our dog loved exploring the backyard and beach area, which was more of a marsh given the rain. There was plenty of firewood for a fire if we’d chosen to use the outdoor fire pit. We’d absolutely stay here again the next time we return to the UP!

Spring Break

This is our second time staying here and again we did not want to leave. For our family of four this place is perfect and Heather is more than gracious as a host. Even checking in with us knowing we needed to travel after the ice storm that had recently come through. We recommend this place and area to everyone! Looking forward to our next stay here!!

Beautiful winter getaway

Touring frozen waterfalls was an absolute treat! The private backyard was great for our dogs to play and the adults to relax. The cabin is only a short drive from so many beautiful parks, we couldn’t even fit everything into our short stay. We will definitely be back! Thank you Heather!

SPECTACULAR SUNSETS!

Other than the shower needing a quick cleaning Soni could utilize the seat in it, and having to carry in 40lb bags of pellets (cause I'm a wimpy old-ish (50) woman ), I LOVED the sunsets!!!! ...and EVERYTHING else! about
