10/10 Excellent
September 2025
We all enjoyed the comfortable “digs” and Tricia’s attention to detail. Especially nice to have coffee available. Saved us a trip to the store on our arrival. Very quiet and peaceful surroundings. Would definitely stay again if we travel in northern Michigan.

This house is wonderful! Our stay was just perfect and we hope to stay here again! It was clean, well supplied, nice and cool even during a several day heat wave! We met Tricia upon arrival and she was delightful. Thank you and we hope to see you again in 2 years when we return!!
