This is a beautiful place that was perfect for our girls' trip. The location is great for getting to Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, etc. Very close to Long Lake Grocery, which is a super cute store and very convenient. We enjoyed having coffee in the morning in a peaceful setting while planning our day. Would definitely stay again!

Overall, a great stay! The driveway can be difficult to locate - we know the area well but someone who has never been might have some trouble. However, the neighbors are so nice. Great lake cottage, clean inside, very comfortable beds. It is an older home, so thinner walls, a little creaky, etc. But we loved it!

It was a great stay at the cozy cottage- clean, peaceful, and within 15-20 minutes to the dunes and Traverse city, in either direction.
