Adorable property with an unbelievable lake front found in charming upper Michigan. We would definitely stay here again! We wish the beds were a touch more comfortable for the price but it was a great experience overall. A real treat.

Location of this house is fantastic - just a few minutes to cute Glen Arbor! New outdoor deck area was nice to sit outside. Unfortunately for us, the Canadian wildfire smoke impacted our stay but we would stay here again. Host was great with communication and any questions we had about the house.

Perfect cottage, only thing I would have different would be to have a dock with a little deck at the end. Then it would be paradise.
