Quick Family trip
The paddle boards and canoes on the lake made the trip really fun for teenagers. Right on a nice lake so it’s shallow enough to explore and also swim out deeper and much warmer than Lake Michigan which is close enough to drive back and forth from easily.

Perfect weekend getaway
Had a great stay. Went up for the fall colors and checked out a couple lighthouses and was close to town. Since Mother Nature didn't cooperate, we didn't really use the lake or property.

Great place that has been fully updated and clean. It was nice to have free WIFI at this location. The lake was fantastic and had everything we needed. Owner was easy to contact and responded in a timely manner. We will be back.

great spot on lovely lake
Newly updated (and not quite fully outfitted) very nice place. Small bedrooms but comfortable beds. Nice kitchen and living room with Roku TV and beautiful view of lake. Excellent internet. But best of all are the kayaks and assorted boats and outdoor lounging furniture, including a dock and a foam pad out on the lake. This part of the lake is very shallow--we walked out to the foam pad to hang out there. Very nice hiking nearby and very close to Lake Michigan. Beautiful sunsets. Host quickly responded to a call when needed.

Relaxing and recreational
Great cottage to visit the area, bike ride on the Betsie trail, see light houses, alpaca farm or heading to Frankfort for dinner or sit by the lake. Nice lake view from cottage, quiet, very comfortable, everything new. Already mentioned to owner some suggestions. Was able to grill and enjoy eating outside. Our cottage was attached to another and no one was in the other for 2 nights, after others arrived, it wasn’t as quiet, but that was our last night, so it was manageable. We would definitely come back to this location.

Summer vacation
Nicely updated and clean. Enjoyed many of the amenities onsite; kayaking, grilled out, sat on the deck to watch sunset and gaze at the multitude of stars in the night sky. We were very close to other points of interest; Frankfort, Crystal Lake, Beulah, Sleeping Bear dunes, Traverse City and many sandy beaches to choose from. I highly recommend this location, we felt nothing was lacking in our little cabin for the week. They even added more dock and seating while we were there. We do have one request of the owners, think about adding a fire pit for evening smores. Thank you for your attention to the little things, this made out trip enjoyable.

Beautiful cabin right on the lake. Cabins are brand new inside and amazing!
We had a wonder full time in this cabin. Easy check in and out. Everything was clean, beautiful and pretty well brand new. Plenty of kayaks and paddle boards for everyone. Thank you to our hosts for the lovely accommodations.
