Excellent cottage - clean, comfortable, and a beautiful setting. Everything was as advertised. We especially enjoyed the kayaks, and listening a family of loons. So many ways to enjoy - the living room was comfortable, but the screened-in porch was a great place to gaze out at the lake, and the adjacent open deck was an extra place to eat or relax. On top of that, the dock was in great condition and had new, comfortable furniture for 4 on the lakeside end, almost doubling as an extra outdoor sitting room. The steps made it easy to get in and out of the water and the area was sandy and clean, so you could swim. The location seemed a bit remote when renting, but once there, we realized it was only 15-20 minutes to Mackinaw City and 25-30 minutes to Petoskey. There are also several good restaurants, especially Douglas Lake Steakhouse and Bar, close by. Make sure you get reservations for that one! Beds comfortable, all linens excellent. We bought our groceries at Ken's in Indian River. Great communication with owner. Strongly recommended!
