Dream Catcher Cottage~This is the One You've Been Looking For!!

Our cottage is tucked away in a quiet community of mostly cottage homes and retired couples. Panoramic sunrise views of Green Lake in its full fall splendor can be seen from any room in the house. Relax with a beverage while sitting on the swing on the wraparound porch or from inside in front of the fireplace on cold nights. If you are sharing your vacation with family or friends, you will want to draw straws as to who sleeps in the second floor master suite, from which you have beautiful lake views. Upstairs you will also find a master bath, a cozy 4th bedroom, a TV sitting room and a computer/office area. Two bedrooms and two baths, a complete kitchen, two dining areas as well as the warm and inviting living room make up the downstairs.

Gourmet dining, shopping and entertainment await you in Traverse City, just 13 miles away. We are the close neighbor of the internationally acclaimed Interlochen Center for the Arts, located just across Green Lake. The quaint village of Interlochen boasts a sandwich shop,an ice cream parlor and Maddy's Tavern, a local favorite with great food. The close-by Hofbrau offers a variety of craft beers. Drive a half hour in the opposite direction to enjoy the quaint little towns of Empire and Frankfort with their sweeping vistas of Lake Michigan along the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Shoreline.
Check out the hiking and biking trail maps in the cottage for a list of the many beautifully wooded trails in the area. If fishing is your pleasure, 2000 acre, all-sport Green Lake is just one of the 50+ area lakes that boast some of Michigan's best fishing and it's right outside your door.Whether you are looking for a relaxing getaway or an opportunity to enjoy your favorite sport, this is the place you've been looking for!!

The Perfect Anchor for Enjoying Northern Michigan
Our family gathered for a fun-filled week at the Dream Catcher Cottage. The fully stocked kitchen was great for family dinners, and the perfect backdrop for bonfires bonfires, and games. We enjoyed the Interlochen Farm Market, and a concert at the Interlochen Center for the Arts. . The location made it easy to enjoy biking, hiking, pickleball, and wine tasting in nearby Traverse City, Sutton Bay, Glen Arbor, Empire, and Frankfort. It was perfect for our group!

Property is nicely located across the road from Green Lake with a nice view of the lake and sunrises. House has been nicely remodeled / updated with all the conveniences for a relaxing stay. Comfortably accommodated five adults. Area is quiet and peaceful, great location to relax. Convenience to things in the area; Traverse City, Lake Michigan coast, etc., made for nice excursions.

This was a great getaway spot for my family while I completed some projects in TC for work. Plenty of room to spread out, place to play wiggle ball (park across the street), fast access to hiking, parks and trails. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Tranquil, convenient hideaway
Thoughtfully equipped cozy cottage. The boys, age 6 and 8, enjoyed playing in the loft, running and exploring the paths around the Green Lake, and roasting marshmallows around fire ring. Kitchen has well-working vintage appliances, plenty of seating around a table along with extra table seating for games, writing or working. Little town of Interlochan has a nice larger grocery store. We visited Sleeping Bear Dunes, which was tremendously enjoyable for us all, ages 6 to 66.

Our stay at the Dream Catcher was perfect for our group of six. Plenty of space with a amazing porch to relax on in the evenings after a busy day. The Cottage was very clean and neat with a fully stocked kitchen. The cottage had lake access and the fishing was great.

Adorable lake cottage!
We loved this cozy cabin, right on Green Lake across from Interlochen arts academy. We were visiting our daughter for her senior thesis presentation and sat outside, drinking a glass of wine, listening to the beautiful music traveling across the water. The cabin itself was cozy and warm and well equipped! Perfect family stay!

Lake home
If our goal was to hang by the lake, the location was good. The houses in this area are very, very close to each other. The room upstairs was very large but not sure there is a/c. The two rooms on lower level were small and a tight fit for two adults. Our trip was about spending time in Traverse City and Sleeping Bear Dunes not a lake retreat so we did not spend much time at the house. Not a lot of restaurants nearby but there is a nice grocery store. The house was clean just not the best fit for us. I think a family with children would fit well in this house.

Comfortable Up North cabin located close to Interlochen Arts Center.
Rustic but comfortable with lots of beds/baths and great location close to Traverse City for lots of wineries, shopping and golf. Owner was very easy to work with but may need to change cleaning service. Towels and pillows could use an upgrade. Be aware you need to conserve water and will likely want to purchase drinking water. We appreciated our s'mores welcome gift and used it multiple nights with the firepit. Great lake view and you can hear music from Interlochen. We found everything we needed in the cabin but without a washer and dryer, a laundromat recommendation would have been helpful, especially for a 2-week stay. Neighborhood is family friendly and on a dirt road.

Great location
The house is facing Green Lake. There is a small park between the house and the lake. It is in Interlochen so the house is 5 minutes away from a world class cultural center/school/camps with live music, art shows, plays,dances etc. There' is kayaking, canoeing, fishing on Green Lake and the rivers that feed it. About 30 minutes to Lake Michigan and Traverse City.

Cottage beautiful; Lake needed more description
The cottage was beautiful and quite comfortable, except the upstairs was VERY hot. No central air conditioning, just window units in downstairs. Outside temps were upper 80s and low 90s, so breeze off the lake and ceiling fans did not cool down the upstairs. Additional info needed in listing regarding the lake: very shallow until quite aways out, bottom is rocky with broken shells. A suggestion to bring water shoes would have made the experience more pleasurable.

Great cozy cottage
We’re so glad we made the trip! We had planned a late season ski trip, and when the weather turned bad we almost canceled. So glad we didn’t. The rain made us slow down and enjoy a cozy day in this great cozy cottage. Then we got extra snow… and a winter wonderland! 3 days on the slopes in a fantastic location for exploring. Hope to be back. Thanks so much for making this gem available for us to enjoy!
