A true get-away for families and friends, with room to spare, and only TWO MILES from Good Morning America's “Most Beautiful Place in America”!

Several golf courses, Little River Casino (30 minutes south), Crystal Mountain Resort (neighboring Thompsonville), and downtown Traverse City (40 minutes east) provide additional ways to round out your vacation.

A quiet get-away is within your reach as well. Enjoy a favorite book in the quiet surrounds of the log cabin or the sandy shores of Lake Michigan. Make time for games and a campfire with the family.

28th Anniversary trip

We just got home today from a long weekend at this great place. The host is very responsive, the place was spotless and well equipped, although no AC or accessible washer & dryer, which for us was not a concern as it was perfect weather and it was a short stay so no laundry was needed. We enjoyed exploring the local part of the national lakeshore. There is some great hiking trails and Peterson beach was perfect. It’s a convenient drive to the Glen Arbor area and Frankfort. We will be back.

Michigan cabin

We had a great stay in this cabin for our adventures in Michigan. It was perfect for our family of 6, and a good central location for kayaking the Platte River and hanging out on the Lake Michigan beaches. We heard loons every night while enjoying a bonfire in the backyard. The kitchen was stocked well for all our needs, and even charcoal was provided for the grill. We loved the "rustic" cozy living room! We didn't have a single problem or complaint and fully enjoyed our stay.

Vacation

We enjoyed our stay and were within a short drive to several little towns and activities. The backyard was great for hanging out after a long day and had plenty of firewood. We ate in a lot and the kitchen and eating area was great. The only things that would improve this place would be better lighting and more linens do to no available laundry room. Overall we had a great stay.
