My wife, our dog, and myself have never had a more peaceful stay anywhere ever!! This cottage has everything you need to cook, shower, and sleep. Super comfortable and super clean!! The only things we heard the whole time we were there was the wind blowing through the trees, the river flowing, and the birds chirping. The cottage has the perfect outdoor area, we used the grill and firepit all day!! You don't even have to leave, we walked for miles through woods and back roads and never saw or heard a car or person!! The Betsie river is a few steps away from the deck...unbelievable!! I can't say enough about Randy, the perfect host in every way!! We will definitely be back, the sooner the better. We had a blast!!
