Little Getaway

We loved staying here. We chose it because we used to camp nearby and wanted to revisit the area. I loved the cottage, it was immaculate. Check-in was super easy. Traverse City is close by for your choice of restaurants and super quiet setting.

The cottage was lovely and the beds VERY comfortable! View of the lake from the porch was dreamy! The terrace to the hot tub and beach was cool although we didn’t get to spend time there- it is definitely a great spot and given more days would be a great place to hang out and relax. Location is great for exploring the area too! Hosts were terrific!
