Little slice of Haven
The property was great, the outside looks just like a regular home but when you walk in it reminds you of being in a wooded cottage, a beautiful one! We had a little trouble the first night finding the place as the address shows the home on S Harbor but you actually have to drive up a cove off Elliot st. We called the property owner and despite it being past midnight she was quick to answer and give me detailed instructions on how to get to the house. Once we found it we were in love. The property has an amazing record collection my dad fell in love with, my son loved the games they had out for us along with the beautiful deck that looks out over the Lake, Its the perfect spot to eat and watch the sunset. The property was very clean and had everything you might need for a week away. The place is very close to the state park and was a couple min walk to the pier and lighthouse. We loved the property and would definitely stay again!

Wonderful Stay & THE VIEW!
The view, the view, the view!!! We loved our stay at Up-A-Wae Cottage. Everything was better than described and extremely clean. Abbi was a great host and went out of her way to ensure that we had everything we needed. There was plenty of everything, towels, kitchen and bathroom essentials, etc. The cottage is so comfy and cozy and wonderfully located to really experience Lake Michigan and the Lighthouse. Can't say enough about the view. We'll be back!
