"My husband, our two dogs, and I got away from the hustle and bustle of Chicago to enjoy our time in the woods. The cabin was perfect for our family and was just the right size. Never felt too crowded. We roasted marshmallows and hot dogs on the fire pit and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. The cabin was just isolated enough that we let our dogs run around off leash and enjoy. My only complaint is the size of the bed was a bit small and firm. Nancy was great to communicate with and very responsive....

"Overall the home was very nice and cozy. Only issues were minor, some silverware had to be rewashed, personal communication was non-existant leaving it unclear how to ask questions for like finding extra blankets...which we never found. That said, we loved the place overall and would recommend to friends and family."

"Stayed at this amazing updated lakefront cottage with my sister and niece for the Frankfort 70.3 Ironman race. Location could not be better. Cottage is updated and pictures are accurate. Host was VERY accommodating and great, very fast communication through the whole process. Comfortable beds. Kitchen had all the necessities to make this place your home. 10 stars all the way around. Only wish I could have stayed longer. Will definitely stay again if I make it back up to the area. Thank you for...

"The property is beautiful - the cottage is modern with a beautiful aesthetic. Appliances are all top grade. Beds super comfortable. Fabulous view of the lake from inside and out on a wonderful deck. Steps to the private beach. A wonderful fire pit out front. Beautiful sunsets. And the nature! We saw at least four different bald eagles. The hosts were very responsive and welcoming. This is a great place for families and couples alike. Two different wings give different parties privacy and their...

"The paddle boards and canoes on the lake made the trip really fun for teenagers. Right on a nice lake so it’s shallow enough to explore and also swim out deeper and much warmer than Lake Michigan which is close enough to drive back and forth from easily."

"Ray's cottage is an awesome traditional cottage. Cottage is clean and very well maintained. The stone fireplace and deck views were amazing. Cottage sits on a very nice large wood lot. Loved listening to the Loons in morning and evening. Excellent fishing lake, caught several good size large mouth bass and a few smallies. Great location and area to see all the local beautiful beaches, lakes and towns. I definitely recommend and want to return soon. Great place Ray!"

"A very nice quiet area with beautiful lake views. The cottage was very clean and had everything needed for our stay. Looking forward to staying longer again next summer. "

"Great little cottage on the lake!"

"The property was easy to find, the sleeping arrangements were great, and the hot tub was a real hit. We were close enough to Frankfort to pick up carryout and it was an easy drive to Crystal Mountain for skiing."

"Great place to stay , kids had a lot of fun"

"Nice place with plenty to do around town"

"The cabin was easy to get to, private, and central to all that the sleeping bear/Traverse City area has to offer. Communication was good and the home had everything we needed 🙂"

"The check in process was extremely easy and our host manager, Hannah, was quick to respond. The house is situated in a quiet neighborhood and is close to the grocery store. The inside was very inviting! It was clean, had all the amenities necessary and was just perfect for the two of us!"

"Stayed two weekends in a row. Kevin was helpful thru out the process. The cabin and everything listed is accurate. No problems at all. Will be back next year!"

"Such a beautiful location with great views across the lake, very secluded (none of the neighbors were home), very quiet! Decent kitchen. Would have been 5 stars except for some small annoyances: WiFi network was out; pillows were not great; Shower was tiny and cramped; oversized bathtub could not be filled all the way without running out of hot water. Very dated decor, but some people might find it charming. Decent kitchen."

"My husband and myself and our two young children enjoyed our stay here! Perfect home for a family of 2 young children or even just a couple visiting. Beach was beautiful, totally private but a HIKE down there. Be warned lol! Kitchen was beautiful and equipped with everything you need.Very clean & great time! Hosts were helpful and provided lots of local resources and ideas!"

"The Shed is a little gem in northern Michigan with close and easy access to Crystal Mountain, Arcadia Bluffs, and Sleeping Bear Dunes, among others. Off the beaten path but a quick drive to Bear Lake for groceries and other essentials. Perfectly cozy for my wife and me, but also would be good for a family with 1-2 kids or even two couples. Nicely decorated, very clean, a well-stocked kitchen and gas grill for cooking, and the owners are very responsive and super nice. Kate stopped by to great us...

"This was an excellent place to get away. There were several things to enjoy that were within an hour drive and the veiw and property was exceptional."

"My boyfriend and I stayed here for 2 nights while we went snowboarding at Crystal Mountain. I couldn't ask for a better place to stay for the price. It was very clean when we arrived, and I was surprised at how much room there was for more guests if needed. The pool table and hot tub was what we were looking forward to and it did not disappoint. We brought food to make breakfast and had everything we needed. The little heater in the bathroom was a great bonus for me too. I messaged a quick...
