My husband and I stayed here in January for two days! It was cold and snowy and this cottage was perfect for the cozy evenings inside! Plus it was the perfect size for just the two of us! Very clean and had all the amenities we needed! Awesome view of the lake and a close drive to downtown Traverse City! We would definitely stay here again! The host had great communication and was friendly!
