Perfect Peaceful Location

My husband and I came up to enjoy Sleeping Bear Dunes. It was fall, so quieter, the cottage was situated so that we had easy access to all hikes and restaurants. The cottage was clean and we both commented on how comfortable we felt there. We drove, so bringing bedding was not a big deal for us. I would definitely recommend to anyone that wanted to visit this area.

Quick getaway

Very cute cottage across from a beautiful lake. Crystal clear water and shallow enough for younger kids. Everything we needed we had right there. Host very easy to get in touch with and fast to respond to any questions. We hope to be back next year and stay longer! D.Owen
