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!

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!

Late Fall On Lake Michigan

This was our second year staying at this cabin. We really like the views on the lake and the sunsets. The pellet stove is an awesome touch. The cabin overall is very accommodating and has everything we need with all basic provisions and more.

A Beautiful Lake House!

We honeymooned at the Sunset Beach Cottage and loved it immensely! The setting is idyllic and the cottage is beautiful. The kitchen is well equipped, the beds are comfortable, the bathroom is excellent, and the living room furniture is superb. It is an amazing place to have a great time and create beautiful memories!

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!

This was our first trip to Michigan and we picked the perfect place to spend a week, The cabin was immaculate and lacked nothing, The view out back is what we have missed and the privacy was perfect. We just got back to Florida and both wish we were still at the cabin.

A s;ice of heaven in the UP!

My wife and rented the cottage for the 2nd year in a row – this time for 2 glorious weeks. The accommodations are excellent – kitchen, appliances, bathrooms, and bedrooms. The view and lake access are beautiful and great for wading and playing in the water. The sunsets are breathtaking! The Roomba, grill, and kayaks most excellent accessories. We look forward to another summer sojourn at the Sunset Beach Cottage!
