Peaceful Getaway
My wife and I booked the house for an anniversary weekend and it did not disappoint. It is in a very quite and peaceful area and is a great house for relaxing in. Getting to enjoy the wildlife in the backyard while just standing in the kitchen as well as the wildlife seen on the short walk to the lake was a plus. Getting to see the fall colors starting to show as great as well. The screened in porch is a great place for some outside relaxing that still has light if you want to be out there in the evening. The shower and heated bathroom floor were enjoyable as well. This lived up to our expectations and would for sure book this house again if ever in the area. The hosts were great with communication and they had thought of everything ahead of time with all the information that is provided when you get to the house. If you are looking for a place to just get away and relax we would recommend this house.

Beautiful piece of heaven!
This was our second visit to Laura and Danny's house in less than a year, we absolutely love it! We played badminton in the front yard, counted the frogs on the pond, and played card games in the screened in patio. It was just what our family needed to kick off summer vacation! Highly recommend staying here!

An awesome birthday weekend
If I wrote a full review of this listing we would all be here for a full day. So here's what was wrong. 1. Absolutely nothing! This cottage is amazing. The hosts, amazing. The area, amazing. They thought of everything you might need to have the best possible experience. The communication is very pleasant and clear, the area is peaceful and quiet. I have already sent the booking link to some friends and I plan on booking again within the next few months. If you can get a chance to book this cottage, don't hesitate, you will not find a better place to get away and forget about the world around you. All I can really say is "muah!" Chefs kiss and hats off! Every host should be like this!

AMAZING COTTAGE
We booked stargaze cottage as a getaway with one of our dogs for our anniversary. To say we were blown away would be an understatement. This property is INCREDIBLE! Clean, chic, welcoming, and fun! The owners are truly on this earth to show care and hospitality toward others. Every small detail you could think of had been planned for. Our border collie loved the property as well. We have already booked our second trip for this summer and plan to book for the fall as well!

Perfect
Laura and Danny should be considered hosts of the century. Communication was easy and perfect. They were so generous with our stay. We arrived to snacks and a toy for our dog Penny! The house is amazing and so cozy. It was great to be able to bring our dog and not worry what the hosts think, they are super dog friendly. The house is as described and more. The big shower and heated bathroom floor was great. I was also excited to find a perfect cast iron pan to cook with. We’ve rented a lot of get aways and usually the cast iron is not so perfect. We normally stay off grid but this time we were still looking for quiet but didn’t need the solitude, while in a neighborhood, you feel like there are no neighbors, it was super quiet. We got to see deer every morning and night, some even visited us while we were having a camp fire. It was a great long weekend get away and will definitely consider coming back.

Hidden gem
What a special place. It was a perfect cabin away from the city. Very clean. Hiking trails near by, quiet, and fires at night, also the heated bathroom floors were a hit. Couldn’t ask for more. To be honest, the owners are just as special. We forgot an item and they graciously shipped it back to us. Our pup loved the land as well. We will be back. Thank you again!

An amazing stay at a quiet dog friendly cottage
Our stay at this cottage was an 11/10 and exceeded our expectations. This was the perfect cabin getaway in the woods, the living room had a small indoor fireplace that kept us nice and toasty during the snow storm along with a heater massage chair. The host left us with a welcome basket full of snacks, a toy for our pups, and a list of all information we needed during our stay, which made us felt very welcome!! This cottage is VERY dog friendly, they have a smaller fenced in yard in the back, doggy door in the kitchen to let the dogs outside, dog bowls, dog treats, and a dog bed/kennel in the corner for you furry friend to enjoy. We will definitely be coming back in the summer time enjoy the lake!!

Beautiful Cottage
The cottage is absolutely wonderful. Everything you could need has been provided for with extra touches added. If you are travelling with your dog, this is a great place to book. They cater to our furry family members in such wonderful ways. The setting is so peaceful and beautiful. We enjoyed the quietness of the area along with all of the surrounding nature. The hobbit stove was a nice touch to our cold winter nights inside. We will definitely be back!

Fall getaway
Stargaze cottage was the perfect spot for a full getaway. The cottage is wonderful. All of the small things the owners have there for guests are amazing. We enjoyed seeing the deer and turkeys in the yard a few times. The doggie door and outdoor space was perfect for our Chorkie. It was the perfect location for us to do some exploring in Michigan. Day trips to Mackinaw, Traverse City and an M22 drive were all doable. Thank you for a place to call home for the week!

If you like nature and comfort you are right where!!! Everything that other people say about this place is TOTALLY true!!! Dear Laura and Danny, unfortunately, this was our last long trip up north (we are getting older) but it was our BEST (we started 27 years ago!). We also have cottage with one hour drive from our residence on the small no wake lake, we will spend our left summers there, but, may be, just may be if we have a chance, we will be back!

Had an amazing stay
We wanted just a small weekend get away for our anniversary. This was perfect. The host provided everything we needed and then some. The cottage was clean and welcoming. Very pet friendly, which was a plus because we could bring our fur baby with us. They provided kayaks and many other out side activities. My husband and I could have stayed the entire week there and not regretted anything. I highly recommend this cottage and host. And the shower is what dreams are made of.
