Amazing, cute cabin! Very comfortable and private. Easy check in & check out process, ease of communication with the hosts. We loved the accessibility to the lakes with the kayaks!

We loved our stay at the cabin!! It was spotlessly clean and well equipped. It homey, but not so much so that we felt like the owner was looking over our shoulders the whole time we stayed. The bed was so comfortable!! The setting was relaxing and casual, we enjoyed the fire pits, the kayaks and spent most of our time fishing, enjoying the water, the weather and the vibe! 10/10 recommend and cannot wait to go back!!

We had a great stay! The cottage was adorable, very clean, and just as described. It was the perfect little weekend getaway. We enjoyed visiting Elk Rapids, Bellaire, and Traverse City during the days, and then sitting around a crackling fire in the firepit at night! Thanks for a relaxing stay, we thoroughly enjoyed your cute cabin!

Would rate our stay ten stars if we could!! The cabin was beautiful and so clean when we arrived and Aeriel even left us and our pets a welcome goodie basket! Check in and out process was very easy and we had the best weekend enjoying waterfront grilled dinners, a camp fire and kayaking down Intermediate River. Aeriel provided us with a ton of awesome recommendations and was super available whenever we had any questions. Can’t recommend staying here enough and we will definitely be back!
