About the host
Hosted by Adriana Orsini
We are homebodies who love to share our piece of Northern Michigan. This cottage is located next to our home - so while it is private - we are also available to help make your stay comfortable. We live a slower pace of life, but do have 5 energetic corgis who will be excited to meet you - but will stay out of your way.
Why they chose this property
We love how the natural beauty of rural Northern Michigan can be both inspiring and relaxing. If you are seeking inspiration try the nearby art galleries, lakeshores, wineries slopes, or dunes. For a more relaxing stay, enjoy long walks, a glass of wine or hot cocoa, a seat on the porch listening to the Red-Wing Blackbirds sing, a relaxing moment on the. riverbank, or an afternoon watching the snow pile up from a cozy chair.
What makes this property unique
Our cottage is a semi private retreat located along the banks of the Betsie River. Located minutes from Crystal Mountain Ski Resort and Spa, it offers beautiful views and a convenient location.
