Gary was very helpful and kind. Im not much for computers so we communicated through text and a phone call. He had the place ready for us earlier than check in and let us know in advance. Very quit, peacful setting, not that the photos are'nt good but the cottage looks even better in person. Nothing was broken or in poor condition, we enjoyed our stay. Thanks Gary!

The house was very comfortable and well kept. Fantastic location. Just a short hop, skip, and a jump to some of the best beaches in the world. The walking trails on site are super, too. We could not have asked for more!

Wonderful vacation house
This house was perfect for enjoying Sleeping Bear lakeshore and surrounding area. We had all the activities close by and had the wooded, private property. We enjoyed biking, hiking, a Lake Michigan beach, and shopping small towns.

Fabulous Stay
This is a darling house. It has all the amenities needed for a great stay. It’s super close to Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes. Our family had a great time at the park, then come back to a wonderful place where they could spread out and rest from all the climbing. I would stay again in a heartbeat. Additionally, Gary the owner was very helpful and responsive. Excellent stay!

The Perfect Secluded Cottage
We used this secluded home as our home base to explore the towns of Empire, Glen Arbor and Frankfort. Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park is only a 10 min drive. Gorgeous part of the USA! The home was perfect for us (2 adults, 1 12yo child). The beds slept fantastic! Kitchen had all we needed. Enjoyed coffee on the deck listening to the birds and watching the squirrels search for treats. We enjoyed the board game selection. Loved the on-site hike through the woods. Had AC avail but didn’t even use it. We opened the windows and enjoyed the cooler breezes that we aren’t used to bc we live in the hot & humid south. The only recommendation I can think of that would be a nice addition/bonus is adding a cooler, 2 beach chairs and a beach umbrella for tenants use. We drove this trip and were able to bring ours with us. However the next visit we will likely fly and won’t be able to bring them so having those items avail would be great for visitors who plan to spend time on the beautiful beaches! Thanks, Gary, for allowing us to use your home!

A delightful cabin
We came to visit the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. We brought bikes with us and enjoyed several wonderful days. The cabin is spacious, well-maintained and very comfortable for a family of 4. It is attractive and quiet, a bit off the beaten path but central to the three main park areas. It has a lovely hike on the property.

Beautiful Setting, Ideal Location!
House was very clean and well-maintained, and contained everything needed for an enjoyable stay. Property manager was also very responsive. There is a beautiful trail through the woods on the property in back of the house. Centrally located in an area which allows for day trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Traverse City, attractions in the Leelanau Peninsula, etc. Would definitely select this house again when in the area and also recommend it to others!

Long Weekend in Benzie County
We found that this property had everything we needed and was conveniently located to enjoy the Sleeping Bear park area. My wife and daughter were completely satisfied with the accommodations. We did some hiking the first day on the owners large property and enjoyed the woods without driving anywhere. Overall, we had a great time in the area and want to return next year.
