Hidden Gem
We were visiting for our daughter’s wedding and this property was perfect. It’s tucked away in the woods and on a river, beautiful scenery! Our grandkids spent some time with us and there was so much to do! Games, disk golf, basketball, pool table, the list goes on and on- we all hung out on the deck and used the grill. The weather was perfect and the property was fabulous! We will be back!

The little details
Robert and Natalie clearly want their guests to feel welcome and at home. Communication was a breeze and the information book and welcome basket were overflowing. Every morning we got our coffee or tea and sat out on the deck listening to and watching the river and birds. Other than our visiting with each other, those were the only sounds to be heard. Truly a hide away spot.

Great family get a way
This cottage has everything you would want to get away from everything, but still have things to do! As a family we played games, shot pool, had pacman duels, it was a much needed, very welcome bonding moment for all of us. The cottage was clean, good lay out, and the hosts provide so much that we didnt need to bring half of the comforts we brought from home. All in all a great way to spend a family weekend.

Family Wedding
This property is stunning from the minute you turn off the road and you get to go through the woods to get to this beautiful home! We were a family of 4 older women and our 83 year old mother. We were all in town for a family wedding. This home made it perfect and we had so much room! We made a lot of amazing memories here! Great hosts with awesome communication!

Great stay!
The hosts were awesome and had plenty of tips for local sights, shopping and restaurants based on our interests. Plenty of space, billiards, peaceful and secluded, can see the stars on a clear night and the sound of the river on the back deck with the trees in the breeze was amazing! We used our stay to visit several northwest MI places and can't wait to visit again!

Relaxing getaway
We came to get away, relax and unwind. And it was all that. Views were beautiful. Kitchen was well equipped to cook so we didn’t have to run out to get food daily. I would come again.
