Nuture, fishing, relaxing

From the moment we pulled into the driveway to walking down the walkway and going into the house all three of us we're going on and on about the unique layout and cozy atmosphere.We toured all through the chalet and checked everything out and still was just excited about seeing the uniqueness of it all! Cabin... meet Chalet and that equals COZYOH THAT LOFT and looking down.. Kinda like the UBER SOFT AND AWESOME beds.Head right out the back door you'll be on a AWESOME deck and what we loved, unlike a lot of lake houses, IT'S PRIVATE... and at night the lights are incredible!! Don't forget to turn them on before you head down. There as you walk the wide mowed path you'll meet Deck #2 with a cute table and four chairs and umbrella, if you choose.. and a just in front of you you'll see the four kayaks and paddleboat. We used the sit on kayaks and the paddleboat thru our 5 days. We fished off them and the docks and caught a ton of bass ( biggest one was over 3.4 lbs) and little perch and bluegill, all we did was catch and release.We played our own games and Star wars monopoly and cooked a lot inside and out; the large grill worked great. We ordered pizza from the restaurant 1.5 miles down.. yes, it's 30.00for a 12 inch but it's heavy and thick and amazing and totally worth it. If you need last minute anything, there's a Dollar General 1.5 miles away. Dawn was STELLAR at communication from the beginning. ( Thank you!) Our trip was in June average 70 degrees.

Elk hunt

Worked out great for us as my elk hunt was maybe 3 miles away. The cabin was very accommodating for the 4 of us.Tv didn't have any local news or regular networks and when streaming the Lions football game we would loose it frequently.

Great getaway!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. It was exactly as it was described. We loved the quiet and made a couple of great road trips to Petoskey and Traverse City. We were really looking for some peace and quiet in nature and that's exactly what we found! Thanks Dawn!

Fun and peaceful getaway

Cabin was very cute and comfortable. The kids really took advantage of the water kayaking and paddle boating. Fish were plentiful but more successful using the paddleboat.

Christmas at the cabin

The cabin was very nice. It was difficult to keep the floors from getting so dirty because the area in front of the door was dirt sand. It would’ve been nicer to have more rocks there gravel so that you didn’t track so much sand and dirt in Dawn is a wonderful host. The lake is beautiful and in the summer I’m sure it’s delightful to spend time down at the lake. It was decorated beautifully, and the additional decorations for Christmas were very nice and very much appreciated.

Perfect little cottage on the water

This cottage was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. It felt private even though there were other houses near by. It was a quiet neighborhood. The view of the fall colors and the lake off the back porch were beautiful!

PERFECT!

My husband and I enjoy taking a long weekend in the fall to see the colors. This cabin was perfect. It’s quaint and cozy and everything is just right. The bed is comfy. There’s plenty of pots and pans for cooking. The view of the lake is fabulous. Everything about the cabin was perfect! So very glad we found it!! Many thanks to the owners for keeping such a lovely place.
