Excellent place to stay!

My boyfriend came in from Massachusetts and we booked this to stay for the weekend. What a great place! It was quaint and quiet, very relaxing and offered a place to unwind from the world. We enjoyed being television free and spent our nights playing games and cards. Would definitely book again!

A cozy little getaway

This place was exactly as advertised and exactly what I needed for my weekend away. I really enjoyed the bucolic setting on the farm, and it was perfectly situated for all of the little trips I wanted to take. The building is charming, it’s nice to see the cows and the chickens and the cat outside. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this spot

Lovely Cottage

The cottage was clean and every amenity was thought of. The wi-fi was out due to a lightning strike, but we spent so much time away on the lakes that it was a non-issue. We enjoyed meeting the hosts and would absolutely recommend this place!

Perfect central location!

We loved the tiny farmhouse! (I want one!). The owners are very gracious, and the stay was perfect for us to visit local family and enjoy a central location in northern Michigan! A quiet country location close to area sights and activities. I grew up in northern Michigan, and highly recommend if you are traveling between Petoskey, Harbor Springs and Mackinaw City!!

Quiet Weekend

This was the perfect place for my partner and I to enjoy a weekend away in Northern Michigan. We spent one day on Mackinac Island, which was easy to get to from this location. Cute small cottage feel but with all the amenities you could want for a few days vacation.

End of year family/friends visit

Loved the cottage and its charm. Hosts were very respectful of privacy. A bit close to the main house but again, the hosts made that a non-issue. Thank you and the cottage small will remain on our list for future visits!
