Cabin, private, woods, trails, 2000 Acre Duck Lake, kayaking, concerts

Cottage feel with modern amenities. Township Permit # PSTR 23-049. Perfect for a couple or small family. Pet friendly. One bedroom for two guests plus two age 15 or under, full bath, kitchen and dining area, living room, wood stove, patio, 10x12 deck, fire pit. WIFI, TV Streaming Hulu, air, reverse osmosis tap water. 650 square feet. Lake access 3/10 of a mile, joint access with boat mooring available. Due to swimmers itch swimming is safe waste deep but lengthy wading in the shallow is risky. I have been swimming in Duck Lake for 11 years and have never had swimmers itch, as long as you are careful and towel off the risk is very low. There are areas of the lake where you can wade and play fizbee, etc without concern but you need to boat there, thus a boat or kayak is a great way to enjoy this lake. Interlochen State park and Interlochen Arts Academy 1.5 miles north. State park has a nice beach area and the Arts Academy houses many prominent concerts and performances in multiple art forms. Just a short distance away from Traverse City, MI, host of the National Cherry Festival, Traverse City Film Festival. Leelanau and Old Mission Peninsula's with over 20 vineyards. Many lakes, rivers and beaches within 20 minute radius. Lake Michigan and Sleeping Bear Dunes 30 minutes. Many golf resort opportunities: Grand Traverse Resort, Arcadia Bluffs, Crystal Mountain and many other smaller courses.

Unfortunate
Due to unfortunate circumstances from walking into the house and the host aggressive response, we choose to leave immediately and get a hotel. We choose not to return and rebooked another place for the remainder of our stay as we felt unsafe. This experience has left me with a little bit of a hesitation for using this method for future stays.

Darling cabin with vintage feel
Soft comfy furniture, well equipped kitchen, full size refrigerator, TV in two rooms, plenty of storage space for clothes, a good size desk, available outlets to plug in and charge. A very quiet neighborhood and beautiful views of the verdant woods surrounding the cabin. Two kayaks are available for guests. So many towels! It all added up to a restful stay!

Like a Private Spa in the woods!
We stayed for two magnificent nights exploring the Traverse City region during record high heat! The property was cool and welcoming and well outfitted with great thought to weary travelers. This was our first VRBO stay and the ecoer set the bar very high!!! We especially loved the decor and beachfront vibe!

Great, relaxing place to stay
We enjoyed staying at this property while attending a wedding nearby in Traverse City. It was a quite, comfortable place to spend the weekend, communication from the host was great, and we LOVED having access to the kayaks to take out onto the lake. Would recommend and would stay there again if I'm in the area.

exactly what I was looking for.
This was just a holding place for me while my daughter was at camp, however it was also my first time having a night/nights to myself in years. It was fantastic and everything I needed. Cozy, comfortable, and well stocked. I was concerned about cooking supplies but it was all set I didn't want for anything. Hoping to make this house an annual getaway for me!

Peaceful cabin
Nancy was quick to respond to questions, and wonderful to let us see include our well behaved doggie in our trip. All was as stated, kayaks and lake are accessible by walking short distance ; the lake is beautiful.. tho state park beach is closed it didn’t stop us from enjoying the lake. Cabin is comfortable, not fancy, but had all needed to enjoy a short stay. Thank you Nancy!

We really enjoyed our stay for the 4th of July week. The location was great with some pretty great restaurants nearby. We took our fishing boat and there was enough room to park it and so easy to get to the public boat ramps. Would stay again.

Fantastic weekend getaway
My husband, our two dogs, and I got away from the hustle and bustle of Chicago to enjoy our time in the woods. The cabin was perfect for our family and was just the right size. Never felt too crowded. We roasted marshmallows and hot dogs on the fire pit and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. The cabin was just isolated enough that we let our dogs run around off leash and enjoy. My only complaint is the size of the bed was a bit small and firm. Nancy was great to communicate with and very responsive. Would stay here again.

Our 2 night stay here was wonderful! The property itself is beautiful, tucked away in a small neighborhood in the woods between two lakes. It was larger than expected and super cute inside. The host provides lots of amenities all throughout the house and the decor and colors really help add to the charm. The location is perfect! About 25 mins from Traverse City and close to the Leelanau Peninsula. There are lots of nice resturants nearby, ice cream, pizza, grocery stores, consignment shops, anything you could want. The bed was very cozy and easy to fall asleep on. The host was very kind and welcoming and great with communication. Will absolutely be staying here again!

Great location to enjoy Duck and Green Lake and the local businesses. Cottage was warming and had all the amenities to enjoy our stay while spending the days bass fishing. Had a nice grill for grilling and fire pit to enjoy a nice fire and recap on our day.
