Great location and very cozy!

Wonderful and convenient location allowing us easy access to Crystal Mountain for our overnight ski vacation. The living room was very spacious and the home was warm and clean. The board games and pantry essentials were much appreciated and extra blankets and pillows made it so each member of our family slept comfortably. We definitely hope to stay again. Thank you!

We traveled north to do some sight seeing and found this to be optimal. Wooded lot provides separation from neighboring properties and there is a trail leading uphill to an awesome view of the area!

Great space to stay

We enjoyed our stay in this small little Michigan town. We travel with our dog and needed to be near Interlochen Mi for a few days. It was an easy 20 minutes away from Interlochen. The house was comfortable, clean, and provided plenty of amenities.

Very comfortable country living stay

We were visiting friends locally and wanted a quiet stay in country living style comfort. Very comfortable in a clean home with amenable features. Check-in and out was very simple. I'd recommend staying here if you're looking for some solitude in the Michigan countryside.

Cozy Cottage, Short Drive to Crystal Mountain

Cozy cottage, short, easy drive to Crystal for skiing. Snowed a couple of the days we were there, and someone came to plow out the parking space and street each time and shoveled the walk. Very cute place, super well-equipped kitchen, nice linens.

Enjoyable stay

Had a great time at this property. It is close to many attractions. It is absolutely pet friendly and my wife and I had fun staying here with our 2 dogs. The property access was great for exercising the dogs and the view at the top of the hill is fantastic! While the village of Copemish isn't exactly top notch this property was a pleasant surprise! Overall great experience!

Loved it!

Super cute house with lovely property we used to hike around with our dog and watch the sun set and rise. The sauna was great! The only issue was the little step down by the hallway. Every one of us stubbed our toes on it within 5 minutes of being in the house! The rest of the time we were there made up for the toes though!

Great little cottage

We enjoyed our stay in this little cottage. The trail across the gravel road that led up to the hilltop was a daily favorite with our dog. It was really nice to be able to take him away from the village and into the woods so easily. We appreciated that there wasn't carpeting. The floors were clean and the whole atmosphere was inviting. The neighbor wasn't exactly cheerful but the kids were friendly when we met them on the road. The location is accessible to so much "up north". We returned twice to Arcadia beach which is dog friendly and a relatively short drive away. We would come back. When we asked a question about the outside light, someone showed up in minutes to figure it out.

Cute House

We were in the area to check out some of the local disc golf courses. The house was as described. Very well stocked and close to what we needed. The television was a little tricky to get working properly but we were able to figure it out eventually. We did not use the sauna, but did use the fire pit which was lovely to have. There was a dog that wandered into the yard from next door. It took a moment to get the people to come get him. Our dog is nervous around new dogs so we had to make sure we were keeping an eye out in case he wandered back over. Pretty sure he was using the yard for his bathroom as there were a few poop piles that did not come from our critter kid. Overall we enjoyed our time here and found everything to be great!

Close to Crystal Mountain - great location for attending events on the mountain

The house was perfectly equipped for our stay— enjoyed the back patio table and small yard for our buddy to run and play in. The next door neighbor at the end of the road had their yellow dog that was always off leash outside and ran up to our truck when arriving back a couple times. I didn’t expect a neighbor because the listing mentions 10 acres of land, but it’s really across the street! Nice trail to walk up and see a view of the mountain! We had a note on their board that said the sauna was under repairs which really was a huge bummer since I picked this cottage because of the sauna. They refunded be my $50 dog fee once the two owners realized they had miscommunicated to us that it was down when it actually wasn’t? I guess my recommendation would be to reach out and ask regardless of their note because it could be an error! I told them after the fact because if it under repair— it’s under repair, all I can do is say I was disappointed so I did. And he mentioned it was all good and just a miscommunication error — even bigger bummer.

Great weekend stay

We really had a nice weekend. It is super pet friendly and our dogs enjoyed their weekend as well. There are walking trails for the dogs and there is a dog park about 15 min away. They have couch covers for the dogs which was great and looked better than the mismatch of sheets I always bring to cover. We took in a show in manistee and spent an afternoon in traverse city. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. There are plenty of towels too. The sauna was great and such a nice feature to have. My only complaint is the main bed is super hard. My shoulder and hip joints were super sore from it. They have pull out beds in the living room with a memory foam pad so I slept a little better on that, but pull out beds aren’t the most comfortable either. If we stay again, I would bring a camping mat to put on the main bed. Quiet and peaceful there. Also, everything well labeled with good instructions. Everything was very clean! Thanks for a great weekend.

Perfect for family

Visiting family for the holiday, but with 2 dogs and a toddler, our own space is a must. This place has all the amenities we needed and more! Kitchen is well stocked with pots/pans, cutting boards, knives, etc. everything needed to prepare your own meals. There's also a washer and dryer which is nice to have in case of any wardrobe emergencies (toddler). The sectional couch has an attached pullout ottoman that converts it into a huge couch/bed hybrid, and there is a big flat screen TV - awesome for family movie time. Our dogs loved running through the field that's right across the street and belongs to the property owners as well. It snowed quite a bit during our stay and there was someone to shovel and salt the deck, front stoop, and walkways. We could tell the family who owns this place puts a lot of care into maintaining the property and making guests feel comfortable and welcome. We can't wait to come back the next time we visit the area!
