The secluded setting makes the cottage a very unique experience. The adjacent meadow full of wildflowers and walking paths was the highlight of our stay. This property was a true gem in all ways.

Overall property was great for our family’s stay-peaceful, beautiful trails, and secluded. Storms had come through before our stay taking out the hot tub use and required window air conditioners to keep the cottage cool. Lincoln and Shelly was very open with communication and respectful of giving us our privacy with the property being located in the back of theirs.

Funny quirky house in a beautiful secluded area. Two bedrooms downstairs and the two twin beds in the loft were perfect for giving our grandkids their privacy. Hot tub was nice addition. Lincoln was very friendly and responsive to all our questions. Chocolate chip cookies were the best!! Would definitely stay again

This was the perfect retreat for our boys’ weekend. The property is enormous but walkable and immaculately maintained with a wide variety of things to do and see while remaining secluded in what felt like our own personal state park. The cottage was clean and comfortable and we enjoyed every one of the homemade cookies the hosts left for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and each of us plans to return with other friends and family members.

Wood Crest Cottage was an excellent choice for my first visit to Michigan. Morning coffee experiencing nature in the beautiful setting and evening soaks in the hot tub were perfect bookends to days of exploring beaches and the wine trail. The carefully curated grounds, interior and amenities insured a peaceful and relaxing stay. Anyone considering booking this property should not hesitate to choose it.

Loved our stay!

This is much more than a cottage, it’s an adventure! We loved walking the trails, kayaking, making campfires, admiring nature, and of course relaxing in the hot tub! Everything was super clean and comfortable and we loooved the cookies (and ate them all!) We would love to come back!
