10/10 Excellent
"We absolutely loved our long weekend here. Cameron greeted us upon arrival and immediately made us feel like we had made a great choice. The location is close to Empire and Traverse City, but far enough away that it was very tranquil. Cameron and his family were very nice. We had plenty of space, and the full bathroom inside the barn was a nice addition. We didn't have time to use the fire pit, but that was a nice touch as well. We would definitely stay here again!"

Enchanted Lakeside Cottage Nestled in Perennial Gardens

Enchanted Lakeside Cottage Nestled in Perennial Gardens

10/10 Excellent
"I traveled with my 9 year old son and mother. The hosts were very gracious and kind. Communication was a breeze and the property is absolutely magical. The cottage is on the water and we had access to a row boat and floating dock. Words and photos don’t do justice to the beauty, tranquility and peace of this property. The location is ideal for sightseeing, close to Sleeping Bear Dunes, lighthouses and the airport. We hope to return! Thank you to our hosts for a memorable vacation we won’t ever forget! We miss you, Dot!"
