Great getaway!
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. It was exactly as it was described. We loved the quiet and made a couple of great road trips to Petoskey and Traverse City. We were really looking for some peace and quiet in nature and that's exactly what we found! Thanks Dawn!

Christmas at the cabin
The cabin was very nice. It was difficult to keep the floors from getting so dirty because the area in front of the door was dirt sand. It would’ve been nicer to have more rocks there gravel so that you didn’t track so much sand and dirt in Dawn is a wonderful host. The lake is beautiful and in the summer I’m sure it’s delightful to spend time down at the lake. It was decorated beautifully, and the additional decorations for Christmas were very nice and very much appreciated.

Perfect little cottage on the water
This cottage was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. It felt private even though there were other houses near by. It was a quiet neighborhood. The view of the fall colors and the lake off the back porch were beautiful!

My husband and I enjoy taking a long weekend in the fall to see the colors. This cabin was perfect. It’s quaint and cozy and everything is just right. The bed is comfy. There’s plenty of pots and pans for cooking. The view of the lake is fabulous. Everything about the cabin was perfect! So very glad we found it!! Many thanks to the owners for keeping such a lovely place.

Relaxing lake cabin!
Had a wonderful time! The beds are incredibly comfy, the kitchen is well equipped, the entire place is immaculately clean and well maintained, and the lake is beautiful! The wifi and smart tvs are perfect for streaming, the property feels private and secluded while being located in a charming little neighborhood perfect for going on runs or relaxing walks. Check in and out was a breeze, and communication with the hosts was easy and prompt. No complaints whatsoever, highly recommend!

Great place for a retreat on the lake
Our stay was perfect. No complaints, the place was clean with fresh towels and clean bedding. I was surprised at the lack of bugs and spider webs inside for being in the woods and on the lake. We enjoyed the paddle boat, fire pit and the wildlife on the lake. We even saw an eagle catch a fish. The internet and tv worked well and was necessary for us. We aren't golfers but still found plenty to do including the nature preserve minutes away and the elk park and restaurants in Gaylord. We also got to visit Oquecoc falls and the Little Oquecoc underground river which was about an hour away but well worth the drive. Otsego state park was a beautiful place to explore and go swimming as well. The chalet offered a relaxing place to stay with fun on the water and the ability to explore the northeastern lower peninsula.
