Honor, MI is home to both Little Platte Lake and Big Platte Lake as well as the Platte River which feeds into Lake Michigan. Little Platte Lake is a shallow lake which makes it perfect for swimming, floating and fishing. Both Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park and Crystal Mountain Ski Resort are less than 20 miles from the property. Within a 30-mile radius, you’ll find charming towns like Glen Arbor, Leland, Frankfort, and Traverse City!
The cottage is available year-round and is the perfect get-away for fishing, hiking, water sports, golfing, wineries and hunting on nearby public land.

Rae’s Retreat is one of eleven cottages on the lake located in the private American Resort which also homes forty permanent RV’s behind the home.
There is no central AC but each room has a fan and the cottage gets a nice breeze from the lake!

Come enjoy what northwest Michigan has to offer!

* Please note, there is no dishwasher.

Great Host
Cottage was located in the back of a densely populated RV park - your view from most bedrooms was an RV within 20 yards. The lake had recently been treated for weeds so it was not swimmable at all and we had a problem with gnats/fruit flies in most of the rooms. The host was very attentive to our concerns and refunded as a nights' stay for our inconvenience. The place itself is nice with the exception of the windows; many would not lock and were so foggy you couldn't see out of them. The host informed us new windows were being installed in September, so that will be nice for future renters.

Perfect location to surrounding area
This place was great. The view of the lake from the private dock was beautiful. I recommend if you are looking to be in the Crystal Lake/Sleeping Bear Dunes area you stay here. Communication was great with the host.

Lake Vacation
Rae’s Retreat had everything we needed for our “Up North” vacation - a clean, well appointed cabin, a great kitchen to make meals out of, convenient access to the lake a few steps out the front door, a dock to fish from and use our SUP. The location is also ideal for traveling to other nearby beaches and sites. We would certainly stay again! The Host was also very easy to get in touch with for our check out questions.

Great stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The area is incredible as to getting to all the small towns, beaches, fishing and kayaking spots. The cabin was perfect for us. The side lot provided a great firepit space, the bathrooms were great, the kitchen was stocked w necessary items and she has a first aid kit we needed on day one. Oh and the view of the lake from the front windows is breathtakingly beautiful.
