“Time Out” Cottage
Great location and while it was a small space, it was very nicely appointed and comfortable. We enjoyed waking up and reading outside on the deck. We also enjoyed being on the water. Very quiet and peaceful.

Exactly what we were looking for.
My wife had promised me a brewery hopping trip in Traverse City for forever. She said she had time off if I wanted to go for a long weekend. So, I looked for a spot within 10 minutes of most of the breweries but away from the busy. We wanted to stay on a lake just for the view, because you can only go to so many breweries in a day and we wanted a quiet relaxing place where we could go back to after dinner and I could watch football and she could sew with a view. It was perfect for our needs. The host was very helpful and quick to respond. If we go back to TC, we’ll book this place again if available.

Nice Getaway close to Traverse City
Great location, nice lake with beach access. Cabin fit 2 adults, a baby and a dog. It is a little rustic, but there are upgrades being completed across the entire property.
