Cozy 4 bedroom, 3 full bathrooms, and a laundry room with washer and dryer. Absolutely gorgeous view of the lake from the living room windows and the Master suite upstairs. Beautiful deck connects to a long dock to the lake. Public boat launch just down the beach. This Cottage has been in our family for over 50 years. You will build lasting fun memories here.

The winter is also fun with with miles of groomed trails for snowmobiling that can take you all the way up to Mackinaw City (and all the little towns in between)!!! Otsego Resort and Treetops both offer cross country and downhill skiing and Boyne Mountain is only a 33 minute drive from the cottage. Not to mention the great sleigh rides!! Cook Family Farms is a favorite of ours (https://cookfamilyfarm.com/sleigh-rides/)

Couple of our favorite restaurants:
Benethums (reservations recommended)
Porterhaus
Alpine Tavern
The Pine Squirrel
The Bearded Dogg (connected the Spud Warehouse, a go-to shopping spot for some interesting and unique knick-knacks)
Jets Pizza (lots of different options, from Detroit style to cauliflower crust to gluten free)
Crave Pizza
