Wonderful Place
This was a wonderful place to stay for the weekend! It was a bit bigger than it looked in the pictures, which was great. The shower was a little bit small, but very usable. The only thing missing qould be a sponge or dish cloth to wash the dishes with. Everything else was wonderful!

Pics are deceiving
Property is in a decent location, however the photographs and description do not really give an accurate representation. It is walking room only for one person at a time. Place needs a good scrub and I would not call the dock useable as it's old, rickety and boards are loose. We got there, set down our stuff and I distracted my daughter at Petoskey State Park while I looked for a hotel. We picked up our stuff and left. Counter was dirty, floor was dirty and the shower was disgusting!! Would not recommend unless you are desperate for somewhere to lay your head for a night.

Most Hospitable
Everything was exactly as listed and exceeded any expectations I had. The property manager was incredibly kind and helpful with local recommendations and made sure our stay was as seamless as possible. We had absolutely no issues and could not recommend the place more. The cabin was lovely and we had the place to ourselves.

Tiny cabin
Description of amenities overstated as usual on VRBO. Lake access from the cottage was through someone else’s yard. The place was small. I can’t imagine 4 people staying in this place comfortably. It was a bit of a challenge for just 2 of us and we struggled to find appropriate places to put our things. As a side note, get rid of all the pillows! They are just in the way.

Short Getaway
My husband and I stayed three nights at the cozy cottage and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The cottage is exactly how it is described and even exceeded our expectations. It was an ideal location for visiting all the local attractions. So glad to find the bike/walking path across the street and enjoyed the Oden Fish Hatchery tour!
