Cute and conveniently located cottage
We chose this location because it was down the street from family. The cottage was clean upon arrival and check in was very easy. The house is nicely decorated and came with some amenities to make our short stay comfortable. It was easy to communicate with the host and he even brought us some delicious brownies! We will definitely stay there again when visiting family in the area!

Great Family Hangout
We loved our stay! The central location allowed for great day trips after cooking breakfast together in the spacious and fully stocked kitchen. Our evenings were quiet and the beds were very comfortable to prepare for the next days adventure. The host was very responsive with our few questions and everything was just lovely. Thank you for a great vacation hangout for our family!

Lovely family vacation
My family very much enjoyed the property. Having a dog friendly property was of top importance for me, and I so appreciate that. My family from Michigan and Minnesota met there for a few days to enjoy Mackinac Island and the UP. We were all very happy with the accommodations, including the friendliness and responsiveness of the host. We would highly recommend the property, and happily stay there again.

Great Family Cottage
We were on a week long road trip through the UP and the Cottage was the perfect location in between stops (50 min to Picture Rock National Lake Shore in Munising and 50 min to Mackinac Island from St. Ignace). It was a great place to stay with our family of 5 and have amenities such as a full kitchen, laundry, and restaurants within 5-10 minutes away. The owner had nice little “extras” and was very responsive. We had a great stay!

Engagement Perfection
We arrived early afternoon after receiving a note from the host that we could check in early, without us even asking (though we did plan to, but he beat us to it!). The house felt so cozy upon our arrival, it was the right temperature and felt so inviting and welcoming. The kitchen was fully stocked with just about every tool/utensil one could need (nothing like a fancy chef kitchen, but fancier than my kitchen and better stocked!) There was even storage containers which allowed us to prep our weekend meals and not waste much food. All of the information that was left was super helpful. The host thought of everything... down to bug spray! This is the first place weve ever rented off of this app or the others similar to it that the photos and reviews actually protrayed an accurate picture of what we rented. The only note I would provide is that the boiler for the hot water heat is in the biggest room with the biggest bed. If youre a light sleeper, you may want to select a different room. This was notable to me but not even the slightest bit to my (new) fiance. We simply picked a different room for the rest of the stay. Everything was clean and organized and in logical places. We picked this place for a special weekend and it most certianly didnt disappoint. Best host, best place. Highly recommend. Will be back!!!

Pristine Cottage
This little cottage is adorable, well supplied, and beautifully appointed! There is a huge backyard and plenty of great areas to walk dogs. I communicated with the host many times and he is wonderful to deal with. Also, the cleaner put the air conditioner on, filled the ice container on the wet bar, and left chilled glasses in the freezer for us. Very thoughtful and hospitality above and beyond what would be expected. We would love to stay here again in the future!!

Great Experience
Our family of five enjoyed our stay and appreciated the small gestures from the host which made for a great experience. The VRBO was clean and centrally located between several attractions we planned to visit. The host was quick to respond and even left several brochures of activities in the area along with suggestions of places to visit.

Perfect UP getaway!
We appreciated everything about this property! Impeccably clean, smelled so good, beds were comfortable. It was welcoming and thoughtfully laid out. The little bar was great. Actually thank you, because I’ve been trying to get my husband to get an ice machine forever and now after a week with one he sees the hype lol. Location wise it worked out perfect. It was about 50 minutes from the three locations we really wanted to hit: pictured rock, Tahquamenon falls and kitch iti kipi. Its really close to Naubinway which turned out to be a cute little town to grab lunch and walk the beach. (Go to Moofinfries!!!! I’m still dreaming of that white fish sandwich 🤤) Thank you for a wonderful stay! One our family will remember for a long time.

Smelled so good!!
Daryl and his team made our check in and out process completely painless. We arrived in town early and though certainly not expected, he allowed us to check in early so we could keep our schedule. That in itself started our long weekend off in a wonderful way!! Then, when we walked into the house it smelled so clean and sparkled everywhere!!! The next morning we went to make coffee, but couldn’t find filters anywhere. So I messaged Daryl asking if they were maybe hidden somewhere we didn’t look. He had his crew drop a box off at the house with a wonderful jar of homemade jam while we were out which made for a wonderful treat the next morning. The only hiccup we had was that we couldn’t get the A/C unit to work properly, it wouldn’t go below 78 degrees. I let Daryl know that it was giving us issues and he asked for permission to have someone come check it for us. Unfortunately, I didn’t check my emails at all that day so I didn’t respond to him, completely my fault, not his. We were ok with that though because the outside temps dropped quite a bit at night and it was comfortable enough to sleep with the windows open, even our dog seemed just fine. We had a wonderful experience at the cottage and highly recommended it to anyone. It’s not because of the home itself, but because of the host who made it feel like home. Thank you so much for absolutely EVERYTHING!!!
