We have been visiting these adorable cottages since 2018. We love them, and always look forward to a return with our family. This year we coordinated a rental of 2 cottages to stay with extended family. Our extended family was equally pleased. Thank you for the hospitality.

This home was perfect for our family of four. It is a 1/2 block from a beautiful, sandy beach. The cabin comes equipped with all the amenities you need to cook and grill. The beds were comfy; the wi-fi was excellent; and there is a sweet artesian well on the property with crystal clear water. We will be booking again!

Mark was a wonderful host. He was helpful in every way possible. The cabin was fairly clean, well stocked, and just a short walk from the beach. He had great suggestions on where to go in town and to make our visit a great experience for our kids. He truly cares about his guests and takes good care of the property. We will definitely be back!

We stayed 3 nights, the cabin is well stocked, it was very clean. The owner Mark was prompt to take care of an issue with one of the beds. We loved having the water filter there. We were close to the lake front. The weather didn’t permit swimming but we would have if it was nicer weather. It is close to town and there were lots to do. We enjoyed the castle tour and the mushroom house tour. We found petosky stones at two of the beaches. Thankyou for the nice atmosphere!
