It has a rowboat, fire pit, hot tub, and kayaks. There are two bedrooms, one with a Queen and one with a twin over a twin bunk bed. There is one small bathroom. You may have to duck to get in the door. A Well-behaved dog is welcome with an additional nonrefundable cleaning fee. However, humans are expected to clean up after their pets. This cottage is very close to the water, so it does tend to get musty during rain so there is an A/C unit in the closet in the primary bedroom. Please leave the doors open when not in use, and there should be no problems. Cabin has no furnace--it has an electric fireplace and a space heater. 4 life jackets are provided, but if specific sizes are needed, please bring them. Mickey Lake is connected to Long Lake, and boaters can enjoy both lakes. The rowboat does not have a motor. There is a gas grill for cooking a nice outdoor meal and a fire pit for gathering after dinner. \-- THE PROPERTY -- Sleeps 4 Bedroom 1: Queen || Bedroom 2: bunk beds (two twin beds) OUTDOORS: Dock, Beach chairs, Fire pit, Gas grill, Waterfront, 2 Kayaks, Hot Tub INDOORS: Cable, WiFi, Roku streaming KITCHEN: Cookware, Coffee maker, Microwave, Refrigerator, Toaster, Utensils, Stovetop elec, Dining table GENERAL: Linens & towels, Fans, Floor fans, Wall AC in primary, NO furnace - electric fireplace and space heater MISC: master bedroom has a curtain closure PARKING: Space for 2 vehicles \-- POLICIES -- \- Pet allowed with a fee \- No smoking \- No events, parties, or large gatherings \- Must be at least 18 years old to book \- Additional fees and taxes may apply ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Firepit - Gas grill ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Golf - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 648 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/25000000/24280000/24275700/24275601/0d715564.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hot Tub!

The neighborhood is quiet and charming and it would be hard to find a better view. You will definitely need to buy drinking water because the tap water has a metallic smell and taste and is yellowish in color. The hot tub was a nice amenity. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0421c95e-8d62-447a-9ec5-2cd3d28405c0-1750533443970.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ef893681-5612-43f9-a725-792219a888d6-1750533445390.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Amber W.

The location is great, the lake is pretty and calm, and the hot tub is fantastic. The cottage itself is a bit dated/janky, but we expected that based on the listing description. If you're fussy you'll surely find things to nitpick, but if you're just looking to chill on a lake and be close to Sleeping Bear Dunes, this place is great and reasonably priced. ##### Jessica K. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca S. 9 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Rustic cabin in great location Bring bottled water! The water is very rusty. This is a no-frills cabin, as described. It was a good home base for our fishing trip - within walking distance to the boat launch. The lake is beautiful. It was great enjoying the lovely view from the hot tub. Also, the property manager responded quickly when I had a question. ##### Rebecca S. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 31 Jul 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### “Very Rustic” The description did say “very rustic”. However I didn’t expect it to have beasts and ants flying around, stained toilet and shower. Water smells nasty and the air flow is minimal. With that being said, the view is great! Hot tub was also great. Furniture new and clean. It’s a little cabin on a lake. It’s a lot of money for 4 nights. $1500. Wouldn’t go back but it wasn’t awful. No wake on this lake. And fishing wasn’t good either. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kelly W. 26 Sept 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness ##### Kelly W.
