The primary bedroom has an attached remodeled bathroom with large walk-in shower. Two bedrooms semi-private with open ceilings to beautiful cathedral log ceilings.

Family Trip

We had a wonderful week. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. We loved the paddle boards and the lake is beautiful with a sandy beach for the kids to play and it was quiet all week. We’ve rented different places the last few years for vacations but will definitely plan to come back to this one.

Cozy cottage-Heart Lake

We had the BEST time at this cottage. The cottage is extremely clean and is equipped with everything you will need for your stay. It is an original Log Cabin that has been very well kept, with a few updates that make it very charming. There are two amazing decks that were added to the lakeside side at the back of the house. It is a very quiet lake even though there was a lot of boat traffic mid day. The additional wooden deck down by the small beach was an added bonus, as was a very nice dock which also had a seating platform. Traci was extremely helpful and very attentive to any questions we had. We loved our stay here and will be looking at the calendar for a return visit in the future. 5 stars +++

Wonderful Cabin

We stayed in this cabin for 6 nights. The cabin was clean, well-maintained and beautiful! The manager Traci is very friendly, responsive, and helpful. At one point we asked about the use of a rowboat on premise, Traci not only gave us permission, she came by and made sure we had oars for it! We very much enjoyed our stay here and look forward to coming back in future years!

Second visit; excited for the next

We visited this cottage three years ago and were excited to experience it again. The lake is beautiful and quiet, and the paddle boards are an added perk. It is close to Lake Michigan and Huron, with lots of long hikes in between. The cottage is lovely inside (and outside!) and mixes the history of traditional log construction with contemporary amenities. We always have everything we need. Both the host and neighbors are friendly. I will stay again.

Best Ever!

This property has everything you could possibly want! It’s spotlessly clean, is exactly as advertised, and communication was almost instantaneous. It’s on a beautiful, clean small lake and has many places to sit and soak in the gorgeous views. I give it my highest recommendation. Thanks, Traci!

Pointe Cottage on Heart Lake

Enjoyed our time here. Everything was as listed on VRBO. I thought the cottage was better than the pictures. Only thing I'd change is putting the bedroom TV in the 1st bedroom to cut down on noise. Owner and neighbors were super nice. Great swimming for kids and adults. Will try to rent again.

Perfect Getaway!

The property is absolutely gorgeous. The lake is clear, clean, and peaceful. We loved everything but not having AC on 2 really hot days! The beds are comfortable, which is a huge concern when we travel. Our daughter doesn’t walk in her own so she crawls everywhere. There were no concerns with her being on the floor! Traci was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. This trip eas just what our family needed.

Wonderful cabin with everything you need....and great host!!

Wonderful time with family... swimming, stand up paddle boarding, boating, fishing, reading, playing games...just relaxing together. One note about the walls not being full height... we had a little one that went to bed early but the rest of us were able to stay up late playing games in the enclosed sun room with no issues. It was a bit difficult in the morning though since two of the bedrooms are near the kitchen. Traci was a wonderful host... very thorough and responsive. One SUP was deflated and she was at the house within an hour pumping it up for us. The house had everything we needed! Thank you for sharing with us. :)

Amazing!

Honestly the best house I’ve ever rented! The house has everything you need and was comfortable for sleeping and hanging out, so much to do! The lake was crystal clear and perfect for swimming and boating. The loons greeted us every day. Traci, the property owner, was very responsive and made sure everything was great. We will be back again :-)

Beautiful!!!

We stayed for six days and had a blast. The cabin is fully stocked with almost anything you could need: cookware, propane grill, kitchenware, coffee maker, keurig, cleaning supplies, laundry room on site, shampoo, soap, life vests and two TVs with Roku. Great internet. It was clean and cozy with a beautiful view of Heart Lake. Our 2 year old loved the sandy beach- lots of sand castles, lol. We did a lot of grilling and enjoyed eating doors. While there isn't AC the cabin stayed pretty cool- there's plenty of fans. Also, the owner is great- very responsive. We definitely recommend this place and can't wait to go back!!!

Ideal Spot

This cabin was comfortable and well equipped. Plenty of room for the whole family yet intimate enough for a couple. The lake was so clear you could see the fish you catch right off the dock. Plenty of outdoor seating and nice fire pit. Wonderful host. Everything you need for a great vacation.

This vacation property was better then I had anicipated. Traci (the property manager) did an excellent job staying in touch to make sure we had everything we needed and were enjoying the place. The place is well maintained, the sunrises are breathtaking the night stars were abundant. Our group even spotted a few bald eagles. I will be going back.
