The cottage was charming & restful. The beds were super comfortable and we all slept so well while there! The grounds are calming and the butterfly sculpture moves gently in the breeze making it seem as if the butterflies are gliding through the trees. I could’ve watched that for hours & while that alone is beautiful, the view just past those butterflies is gorgeous & unmatched to any other Michigan vacations we’ve had. The beach is quiet & while there are many stairs, they are solid and sturdy. I have Parkinson’s and many times I worry about tackling slopes or stairways but the handrails are extra handy and I made many trips up & down.
There are large rocks on the beach for a person to sit in the quiet when the waves are calm…or to marvel at how fierce the waves become when a storm is rolling in.
The kitchen had plenty of dishes and cookware. The whole cottage is decorated with thoughtful & meaningful pictures that appear to be taken throughout the life of the cabin & family who have enjoyed it through the years. I very much enjoyed seeing pictures from past decades of smiling, splashing, joyful people enjoying the lake & beach.
Plenty of fluffy towels & bedding. The air conditioning worked well and there were multiple small fans available if needed.
Overall it was a beautiful peaceful safe harbor for our family to rest & recharge.
The host was very patient & responsive to any of our questions. We would most definitely stay again!
