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!

Well stocked cottage with everything you need for a getaway weekend for 2. Quiet and picturesque property. Could have used a blind instead of just a sheer on the door since the bedroom is at the bottom of the stairs.

Happiest Little Home Away From Home
The home was just as advertised in the notes and pictures (super cute!). The location was close to Mackinaw City as well as Petosky, and the town itself was cute. Perfect getaway for a single person or a couple. Enough amenities to get you through each day and a nice place to come back to for relaxation and sleep. The hosts were extremely friendly and met me on my first night there. They also saw me when I left, and were very kind throughout my entire trip. I will definitely return!

Cozy cabin.
Cabin was very cute. Problem we had was we are over 65 and have mobility issues. Did not realize bedroom was down a fairly steep set of stairs. Had to make sure didnt make many trips downstairs. Area was beautiful and quiet. Just what we were looking for.
