Post-Labor Day vacation

The cottage is in a super quiet lakeside location. Ideal for traveling to Mackinac and places in the UP. Nice facility but lacking supplies and not easy to resolve situation due to manager and owner living remotely. Would recommend with caveat of being prepared to provide basics ( ie TP, dishwasher soap, laundry soap, paper towels, cooking oil, and cleaning a very dirty grill. Owner did refund cleaning fee and paid for our supplies and was appropriately apologetic - and I appreciated this. Manager was less helpful. In fact, manager was slow to resolve issues and made us feel we were being somehow unreasonable asking for a clean grill and obtaining supplies our 4th day into our visit. These details did not ruin our vacation but this was not our typical welcoming VRBO experience. Still a beautiful cottage.

Beautiful Lake Michigan Location

A wonderful property away from the hustle and bustle! Perfect for our family vacation with our adult children and grandchildren. Plenty of space and we had the beach all to ourselves the entire week. We enjoyed swimming every day, the water was crystal clear and the sunsets were spectacular viewed from the deck!

Our #1 Favorite VRBO Home Has a New Winner!

Every year my wife, father, and myself rent a house on VRBO up north for the fall. We've been doing this for about 10 years now. The house we stayed at for year #2 WAS our favorite until we stayed here! This has a 1-of-a-kind location, home (including everything in it) is incredibly comfy, and the owner was quick to communicate any questions or suggestions. We have always planned at staying at a new place each trip. We seriously discussed just coming back here. If you're looking for a quiet private place with a phenomenal view, you've found it!

Breathtaking Views

Our family trip, with our grown children, was such a precious time at this beautiful rental. The magical views from the living room made us pinch ourselves. The private Bluff Deck is an amazing place to catch the sunsets. Don't forget to explore the private beachfront. The cabin is in a quiet location on legendary M119 but close enough to make a trip to Mackinaw to ride bikes around the island. Pets are very obviously welcome with special touches, yet rental is very clean. Kitchen is well stocked and has everything you need to prepare cozy meals from scratch. Last but certainly not least, from beginning to end the host was very accessible and gracious. We certainly plan to return!

Spring ski trip

We spent a week spring skiing at Nubs and the Highlands. Both are a short drive from this home. The place was cozy and well appointed. The view of Lake Michigan was nice, but access to the lake would have been a challenge with snow cover on the steps and the hill down from the road to the lake.

A wonderful place

The property was very clean and very well stocked. The location was what we expected with a beautiful view of Lake Michigan. We enjoyed the sunsets and campfires every night. There was a covered deck on the lake side of 119. The walk to the beach was down many steps and the trail was downhill. The beach was rocky with some sand. We had an issue with the coffee maker and I contacted the owner and she ordered a new one and we had the new one within 2 hours. The owner was very pleasant and friendly. The small cabin was great for us, and the home was used by our son and family. It was perfect! The internet connection was superb. The property was large enough that the 6 year olds could run and play.

Wonderful Family Vacation!

We loved everything about the house and cabin and the location was so beautiful and peaceful. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed and we enjoyed all of the outside amenities as well (plenty of seating, fire pit, gas grill, etc...). Beautiful view of Lake Michigan, a well kept yard and flower beds and easy access to the lake. We would definitely recommend and hope to return!

Excellent Get Away

Fantastic location, right on the lake for this cute cabin. Everything was as expected for this house. There are two separate structures when you rent. The outer cabin was a little chilly, but extra blankets that’s were supplied kept us cozy warm. It was just a short 15-20 minutes to Boyne Highlands for skiing. We will definitely be back for a summer trip!!

We loved our stay in The Happy Place Cottage! Location is perfect, the cottages are warm and inviting, and everything was immaculately clean. Sharon was quick to communicate and accommodated our VERY last minute request to book. The lakeside deck has beautiful views, and trail-walk down to the beach is super fun and easy. Wonderful visit - wish we could have stayed longer!

Just what we were looking for.

The property was beautiful and we had a great stay. We loved having plenty of options for sleeping with the guest house. We also loved being able to play in the back yard, have a fire in the front, enjoy the property from the main home's deck, the excellent deck across the street overlooking the lake was breathtaking, and finally down to the beach for your own private spot. The beach was all rocks which was a disappointing at first , there is no sand right now. But we still made the most of it and laid on the rocks and swam in the water. It was excellent overall and wished we were staying another night.

A Lot To Like

There was much to like about this property. The beds were all very comfortable, not just the master bed, as is the case in many rentals on Lake MI. we have stayed in. We loved the little house. The lake view from the front window is very nice. The little covered deck on the way down to the beach was also very nice. Also the home gave us some extras other rentals did not such as extra toilet paper and condiments. The refrigerator was new and a nice size with lots of ice. Also they had some nice channels on the telly. One issue was that the fan over the stove seems to vent to nowhere, and so it fills the house with smoke when cooking. To prevent that all of the smoke detectors have been disconnected and sit in drawers. Also the dishes were dirty on arrival and chipped. Dishwasher soap dispenser sticks shut, so mystery solved on why dishes come out with coffee stains. Blue couch in living room has a few rips in it and has seen its day. Lastly, it is a looong walk down to the beach and over a lot of rocks to hit the water and sand. We did not use the beach that much due to these conditions. Over all we enjoyed our stay. We very much appreciated the opportunity to bring our dogs. That was actually the reason we chose this rental. As rentals go that allow pets this one is the best one we have found on Lake MI.

We've already booked again for next summer!

Very clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. Plenty of space for my family of four (and pup) plus my elderly parents to spread out, relax and enjoy. Fantastic location - private, serene, with beautiful wooded views on 3 sides and the gorgeous westward view of Lake Michigan out the front. We ate al fresco on the deck all week (taking advantage of the nice grill) and soaking up the lake views. We loved the observation deck access and short staircase/cedar and birch lined path to the beach -- though watch for poison ivy as it was everywhere! Lake Michigan was surprisingly warm this year, but the always changing beach was all stones, making it a bit difficult for our older family members to traverse but wonderful for Petoskey stone hunting! Sharon is a fantastic host -- she was very quick to respond when we had a couple issues arise and resolved things quickly. Very kind and a pleasure to speak with. Thanks so much for such a wonderful stay -- lots of great memories made! Can't wait to return next season!

Peaceful and charming!

The main cottage and small cabin are great. Clean and well-maintained - perfect for our family. The outdoor areas are really nice and the property is peaceful. There's a big deck between the cottage and the cabin, and a cozy gathering spot by the fire pit. Then there's the deck overlooking the lake. Beautiful views! The location is great too. Access to the shore is pretty easy. It's currently a rocky beach, but there's sand right at the shoreline and it stays sandy once you're in the water. Sharon is a great host - very accomodating!

Best vacation ever!

Incredible place! Sharon thought of everything to make our stay perfect. I especially loved the small cabin. I went with my children and their children so I had my own space and it couldn't have been any more comfortable. The beach was fantastic! It was secluded, sandy and the grandkids loved playing there. The views were breathtaking. The deck overlooking the water was amazing for time alone or with the kiddos. I can't wait to return! Diane
