Beautiful cottage

We stayed for a short weekend and it was fabulous! Melissa was very attentive. The cottage is just like the photos! We brought our own kayaks and loved taking them out on the lake. The fire at night was fun and my daughter liked the swing in the common area. My kids are already asking when we can go back. Thank you!

Great spot for families!

We greatly enjoyed this little cottage! Clean and well maintained with all the amenities. We loved the views of the lake and enjoyed meeting others in the common areas. Melissa was great and provided all the information well in advance. The Riverside trading post nearby was helpful and offered a great kayaking experience. The sleeping bear dunes was a short distance and beautiful. A great stay to enjoy with your family!

Perfect Cottage

Beautifully appointed Lake front cottage with a fabulous sunset view over the Big Platte. Six adults in our group and we made it work, comfortably. This cottage is 20 to 40 minutes from so much: Sleeping Bear/Frankfort/Glen Arbor/Traverse City/Interlochen.

Lovely place and lovely neighbors!

We loved the cabin in front of Platter Lake. When we arrived we’re a bit concerned about privacy as there are other 4 cabins very close to each other. But we ended having a lot of fun with other neighbors, specially the kids that as soon as they woke up they went outside to play with the other kids in the lake. The cabin is really nice too! There were some kitchen things that we missed like a good knife for BBQ (there was only a little one and a bread knife), a grater, things like that, and no hairdryer, which normally these rentals have. But not big of an issue and there is a big grocery shop when you can get anything. The area, landscape and beaches in Lake Michigan are just breathless, we loved having different beaches and town to explore. Melissa, is amazing super diligent and always easy to reach. We’re truly grateful for having had this great vacation in an incredible place!
