Fun Stay

Had a great stay here! The dock and the outdoor spoke for themselves, and you truly feel kind of in your own world. The lake was calm and quiet, and even with boat traffic, you hardly could tell. The home itself was cute, quaint, and well stocked with everything you might need. Check in was smooth and easy. Access to Traverse City was easy and the locals were very friendly. Would recommend for a couple people just getting away.

A Perfect Getaway

This was a great location for enjoying both time relaxing at the cabin and exploring the area. The non-motorized cove on one side of the property and the late start time for boating activity on the rest of the lake offered ample time for paddling. We would definitely return!

A very special place!

10th anniversary get away. We had an amazing time! I was looking for a place to have that north Michigan outdoor living while being close to the city. This was the perfect place! The house was super cute with some really nice touches. We especially loved having water all around. The host was very welcoming and was easy to communicate with.

Peaceful and Relaxing!

Nice house and great area! Loved our stay here, beautiful lake, close to shopping and restaurants. Definitely try Peegeo’s restaurant just up the road you won’t regret it!! Owners were fast with communication and helpful when needed. It feels like you’re in the middle of nowhere but so many amenities are close by if needed. Would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful property

This was a beautiful property located on a peninsula. Aubrey and Jim were great host . We enjoyed the outdoor patio, fire, pit, grill, and kayaking on the lake. This is a beautiful place and great owners. We would definitely recommend staying here as it is close to the airport, great hiking areas, and beautiful scenery. The spider lake is beautiful and the cabin is beautiful place. Thank you Aubrey and Jim. We hope to return soon.

Family Lake Vacation

Our family had a wonderful stay at this property. The hosts were so helpful and the cottage was clean and well kept. It was so quiet and peaceful, especially being on the no wake cove. We came with our 2 teenagers and they had a blast with the paddle boat, paddle boards and kayaks. We spent a lot of time reading down by the dock and relaxing in the hammock. Highly recommend!

Beautiful cottage on a private peninsula

No complaints, everything I needed was there. Great property on a private peninsula with views of the lake from all sides. Bed was very comfortable and grills and firepit were perfect for my needs. Owners were available nearby if needed, but we didn't have to contact them for anything.

Idyllic cottage in magical northern Michigan

This lake front cottage is sublime. My second stay here was as exceptional as the first and I can't wait to return next summer! Every morning we woke to a beautiful sunrise on the deck and watched it slowly set over the shimmering lake, gently rocking in the hammock on the cottage's private sandy beach. Jim and Audrey have provided everything you could possibly need to make your stay super comfortable and feel like you could just pack your tooth brush and have an amazing stay in magical northern Michigan; they are exceptional hosts! Thank you.

Perfect Place

The cottage was perfect for me and my husband. The location is in a gorgeous setting. Everything was spotless. Check in and out was a breeze. If you're coming in the dark (or daylight...we passed it in the early evening lol) the address is on a tree and you can't see the property from the road. You will need to bring all staples (including coffee grounds). All of the kitchen items are in great condition and everything matches. They've thought of everything you might need (including bottle opener, extra zip lock bags, paper cups for the purified water dispenser). The furniture is comfortable, including the bed. The old wood windows were my favorite part of the home. Outside had everything you would need to relax and enjoy your stay. The bugs weren't even bad for being in the woods. I don't know how they managed that lol You are about 10 minutes (if that) from downtown Traverse City. I would definitely recommend this property.

Cozy Retreat

The property is on a unique and beautiful peninsula. Wooded, yet with lovely views of the sunrises and sunsets over the water. The owners are across the street and wonderful to deal with. There were paddleboards, kayaks and a paddleboat available for our use on the cove side with a large dock, including stairs into the water. We also enjoyed creating fires in the firepit and the proximity to Traverse City.

Peaceful cabin on the peninsula

It was a perfect place for relaxation and a perfect home base for getting out and exploring all that northern Michigan has to offer. We woke up to the most beautiful sunrises and always made sure we were back in time to watch the sunset. Audrey and Jim have provided everything that you could need for a perfect trip. Lots of memories made and we will be back.
