The loft is a private area located above the bedrooms and provides an additional 3 single beds for sleeping. A dedicated workspace is also located in the sunroom if you need to work! The fire pit offers an amazing view all day and night which creates a very romantic and private setting. We do not provide items such as charcoal, or firewood.

Guest access Guests have access to the main house, the sun room, the back yard, the fire pit and the dock to walk down to the river, but \*\*due to the overgrowth there is no instant access\*\* to the river from our cottage at this time.

Be sure to bring towels if you intend to visit the lakes as we only provide 1 towel per guest for cottage use. Other things to note Please be respectful in remembering that this is a cottage!

The cabin was great and served us well for our weekend away from the kids. We had a lovely time sitting on the main deck sipping our morning coffee and then sitting on the far deck in the evening enjoying the view of the scenery. The river and landscape are beautiful to admire while the homeowners wait for the lake to be reestablished. The cabin had everything we needed and then some. We would definitely come back here to stay if we are ever in the area again. ##### Laura G.

Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa P. 12 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect stay for a family vacation. This cottage is perfect for our family to stay at while we were in Michigan to visit our family. The porch area was perfect for morning coffee and the view over the river was peaceful. There was plenty of space for us all to have our own spot to sleep. We will come back and hope this place is available when we do. Reached out to the owners and they responded promptly. Would recommend to anyone staying in the area. ##### Melissa P.
