Stayed with a few friends for ice fishing. It was a very nice lake and the cabin has everything we needed. After a long cold day on the ice sitting by the fireplace and playing cards on the giant island countertop was a great way to finish the day

Cozy, but heed considerations!
Hello! We loved this little cabin, and it had just about everything we needed! The furniture is comfortable, the views are great. It fit the bill for what we needed for our getaway. We are a group of writers needing freedom for our distractions. We got a lot of writing done! Our only criticisms are small, but we want to make sure everyone knows before they travel. There aren't a ton of outlets, so come prepared with power strips/extension cords (the cabin does stock a couple ext. cords, though!). The stairs to the loft (where 3 of the beds are) are more like a ladder. No problem for some of us, but several of our party were too nervous to try. And lastly, the kitchen is fully stocked, but there were a few little (little!) things missing, so if you NEED something, best to just bring it with you to be safe. There weren't any ziplocs or rags to wipe down counters that we could find (had to use paper towel), and we nearly ran out of toilet paper with a party of 7. Luckily, we're all over-preparers, so it didn't affect our stay. Pack extra amenities, and you're sure to have a great time! The host was very attentive and checked to make sure we weren't snowed in. Proximity to Petoskey, with lots of shops and things going on, and right on the lake with seating to enjoy the view. Would definitely go back to this one. It checked all of our boxes. Thank you!!!

Great find! Love it- hoping to be back.
Couple things that we noticed and didn’t expect. There wasn’t a can opener, the toilet paper was cheap! We didn’t bother anyone, but we could figure out how to get a local news station, the weather was questionable (windy) and having local news, when the lights were flickering would of been nice. Those are small things, it was a great place and we loved it! Like I said, I’m hoping to bring my family back!

Spring Break
We had a wonderful time at the cozy cabin ! Very good atmosphere. Kitchen and living is set up nice, with a big island perfect for all the kids to eat at! The upstairs loft was perfect for sleeping! We explored a little and found a nature preserve within walking distance that our kids loved ! Spent a day in petosky shopping and walking around && then had fun playing games, watching movies, having a campfire && cooking at the cottage with family! Love the gas fireplace && being able to do laundry.

Lake Cabin perfect for a family gathering & relaxation right on the water!
My family and I planned a 70th birthday getaway to unwind & relax. This cabin was perfect & met our needs. Clean & great little amenities. Fire pit, fireside table, tiki torches, mini fridge & bar in seasonal room that looks out at the water. The loft is great once you're up there, but a bit tricky to maneuver. Not for older folks or toddlers. Worked fine for 5 & 9 year old. The kitchen was equipped with all needs. We really didn't have any issues for our 4 night stay. I would go again for sure! Thank you.

The most charming cabin with the most accommodating hosts!
My boyfriend & I have stayed in more than a few VRBOs over the past few years, & this was by far our favorite. This cabin is so charming! It was warm & inviting with the most picturesque views of a peaceful Pickerel Lake. Lisa & Gary were amazing hosts. They were more than responsive. They went above & beyond to ensure we had everything needed for a perfect stay. During our stay, we visited downtown Petoskey & Harbor Springs for outdoor drinks, food, & shopping, as well as Boyne Mountain for tubing. These were 15-30 minute drives, in the snow. So, there’s plenty to do in the area, but I found that I couldn’t wait to get back to the adorable cabin. We definitely plan on returning to this gem! It was already a perfect stay, and I’m thinking it may be even better in the summer. Thanks for everything, Lisa & Gary!
