Great weekend getaway in a central location
Great communication by hosts, check in and out was a breeze. In a great central location between Indian River, Petoskey/Harbor Springs, and Mackinaw City. Arrived to a clean, well stocked home. In the kitchen, lots of pans and plates. Seasoning cabinet well stocked, with some coffee and kuerig pods. Lots of mugs including an ugly one with a block M on it. Bathroom was clean, shower with good water pressure. Only used the master bedroom, but the bed was comfortable and there was plenty of extra bedding for the cooler nights. Outside, the deck was a nice place to enjoy your coffee and read. We used the two kayaks and had a nice cruise. (Water is low so getting in and out was a challenge with the ladder) Check out: some VRBO rentals have pretty extensive lists for checking out. Requirements here were better than average(plates in dishwasher, beddingat the end of the bed, take garbage out). Will say, many of the plates and cups are plastic which makes it challenging to load them all top shelf only. Food in the area: Bob's was decent for lunch. Northwoods surprised us pleasantly with good portions and great food. Vernales, though expensive, is always good for the last night steak and cocktail.

Excellent location!
We enjoyed a lovely little getaway here in October for a fall color tour. It was a great location for travel to Mackinaw, Tahquamenon Falls, Whitefish Point, Pictured Rocks and so much more. We brought our dog, Buddy, with us too! He felt right at home and enjoyed laying on his dog bed watching the river.

Stayed at this awesome place NYE 2023 (Dec 31 – Jan 2, 2024) with my GF. Views of the river's wildlife complemented the interior’s holiday décor. The area has numerous attractions during the winter – including downhill skiing, snowshoeing and ice fishing. We had a lovely time. Highly recommend during the winter/cold months.

Wonderful cottage and location!
We decided to stay at the cozy cottage based on the beautiful photos with the listing. When we got to the cottage we were very pleased to find that the cottage was even cuter than the photos showed! It had everything we needed for our 3 day stay and the backyard was the perfect spot to relax in the late afternoon after sightseeing all day. It was very clean and comfortable. The owners also knew we were celebrating our honeymoon and left us some chocolate and Prosecco which we found to be so thoughtful. Highly recommend this place for your stay! We hope to come back one day to further explore the beautiful area.

Perfect Cottage
Tamara and Jason are the perfect hosts! The cottage was extremely clean and well stocked with all the essentials and more. They even provided a wonderful bottle of wine on arrival. The location was an easy drive to Petoskey, Harbor Springs and the ferry to Mackinac Island. I loved being able to watch all the boats pass the cottage on Crooked River. Very peaceful. I would definitely stay here again. Such a gem!

Great Place to Relax!
This truly was a cozy cottage. It was clean, cute, and had everything we needed. Tammy was communicative through the process and it was the perfect location - it felt like it was close to everything! We went up to do some hiking and it was the perfect spot to come back to and relax in the evening. We didn't get to utilize the deck as much as we hoped because the weather was too cold, but i imagine in the summer it is the perfect hang out spot. The bed was comfy, the water pressure in the shower was great, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had a great time here! Cute and comfortable cabin! The river was calm and sitting on the back deck was wonderful. The boat ride to the connecting lakes was a little longer than expected, but still a lovely location and took nothing away from the cabin and the experience here.

The cottage was adorable, very clean and provided everything you need for a great stay. You really don't have to bring anything except your clothes and food. The beds were extremely comfortable with really soft sheets, which made for a great night sleep. We loved how close it was to Petoskey and Mackinac. We will definitely plan on staying again. Thank you, Tammy and Jason for opening up your cottage to us.

Cozy cottage getaway
Cozy, clean, quiet and close to Petoskey. This little cottage was just the spot we needed for a girl’s getaway. Tamara is so kind and was so helpful. Their was an issue with the lock box before we even arrived and she called to let us know & she took care of it. She also gave us great recommendations for dining options in Petoskey. The beds were super comfy and the sheets were the softest I’d ever slept on! The cottage, deck and yard area are very clean and tidy. 100% satisfied with our choice.
