We traveled north to do some sight seeing and found this to be optimal. Wooded lot provides separation from neighboring properties and there is a trail leading uphill to an awesome view of the area!

Very comfortable country living stay
We were visiting friends locally and wanted a quiet stay in country living style comfort. Very comfortable in a clean home with amenable features. Check-in and out was very simple. I'd recommend staying here if you're looking for some solitude in the Michigan countryside.

Family vacation
The vrbo met all our needs. Anything we could possibly need from the kitchen was available. There was plenty of room for the four of us to be comfortable. We had questions about the station settings for the TV We called the owner and he answered and walked us through the set up and answered all our questions. We also enjoyed the sauna on the property. :)

Great location and peaceful cottage
The cottage is centrally located, close to Crystal Mountain, Traverse City, Frankfort and interlochen. Very peaceful, dog friendly - my dog loved to run in the meadow and fields. Good size kitchen and laundry for a one bedroom and pullout couches were comfortable. Highly recommend for a small family get away. Dusty the owner was easy to communicate with.

Memories were made
Finding the cottage was easy. It was clean, spacious and comfortable. It was well stocked and nice for a family of 5. We enjoyed the hammocks, the deck, bonfire pit (mosquitoes were bad), and the charcoal grill! The pull out coaches were perfect and the blinds to keep it dark were Great! Really the only complaint we had were the neighbors. The loud vehicles and constant yelling and cussing at their dog. Not the Owners fault but disappointing to hear that when enjoying such a peaceful looking cottage in what I would describe the perfect northern cottage experience. For older children that might not be an issue. Overall I like to think we would and could rent again and enjoy ourselves. We were able to travel to Traverse City and Leland in less than a hour. Thank you for such a lovely place to make memories!

Great space to stay
We enjoyed our stay in this small little Michigan town. We travel with our dog and needed to be near Interlochen Mi for a few days. It was an easy 20 minutes away from Interlochen. The house was comfortable, clean, and provided plenty of amenities.

Cute House
We were in the area to check out some of the local disc golf courses. The house was as described. Very well stocked and close to what we needed. The television was a little tricky to get working properly but we were able to figure it out eventually. We did not use the sauna, but did use the fire pit which was lovely to have. There was a dog that wandered into the yard from next door. It took a moment to get the people to come get him. Our dog is nervous around new dogs so we had to make sure we were keeping an eye out in case he wandered back over. Pretty sure he was using the yard for his bathroom as there were a few poop piles that did not come from our critter kid. Overall we enjoyed our time here and found everything to be great!

Quiet getaway with outdoor space for pets to play!
We had a really great time here. The place was very clean and our pets loved the acreage to run and play. Very close to Traverse city where we took our 3 year to play for a day at Great Wolf lodge. I would highly recommend a stay if you are planning to visit the Traverse City area. I noticed there was even a place to go kayaking about 15 minutes down the road but it was too cold in March.

The cottage is well equipped, clean and quiet. We used the cottage as our base visiting Frankfurt, Empire and Glen Arbor. The cottage is the perfect spot to getaway from it all yet near enough to visit the fun spots in northwest Michigan.

Winter wonderland
We enjoyed our stay in the little village of Copemish. We had 3 adults and the home was perfect. Our two dogs enjoyed the yard. The snow was too deep to use the trail up the hill but it was perfect skiing at crystal mountain. We couldn’t get the sauna to heat up but it wasn’t a big deal to us. Would def stay again. Loved Genos for dinners, especially because they had gluten free options for our son. Thank you for letting us stay… finding a dog friendly location made our trip possible.

We had another wonderful Thanksgiving here, a nice few days away. The house is cozy and small, but just right when you need a change of scenery. The walking trails are wonderful, perfect for taking the dog to run off some energy. The house is well-appointed, and not much of anything is missing!

Great little cottage
We enjoyed our stay in this little cottage. The trail across the gravel road that led up to the hilltop was a daily favorite with our dog. It was really nice to be able to take him away from the village and into the woods so easily. We appreciated that there wasn't carpeting. The floors were clean and the whole atmosphere was inviting. The neighbor wasn't exactly cheerful but the kids were friendly when we met them on the road. The location is accessible to so much "up north". We returned twice to Arcadia beach which is dog friendly and a relatively short drive away. We would come back. When we asked a question about the outside light, someone showed up in minutes to figure it out.
