We loved our stay at Cottage Pisces which is located near a multitude of outdoor activities. We biked the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail and did multiple beautiful hikes in the sleeping bear dunes national park. We also kayaked the Platte river. (You can put it right at the cottage and paddle all the way to the lake shore!). There are many great beaches in the area. (Platte beach closest to the cottage is great but Empire and Glen Haven were also really nice. The cottage was very well equipped, and we were not wanting for anything. The beds were very comfortable and our son loved sleeping in the bunk beds. I saw one review saying the bunk beds were small, but we did not find that to be the case, the lower bunks could easily fit an adult.
The hosts were great and quick to respond the few times we had questions. Would recommend and stay here again. Thanks!

We stayed at Cottage Pisces for a long weekend and it was everything we needed. Our days were spent exploring the area and it was nice to come back to a relaxing cottage in the evenings. Everything is within an hour of driving or less. Plenty of things to do in the area if you enjoy being outdoors. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to the area.

Our family and my parents stayed at cottage Pisces for 4 nights this June and had a wonderful time. The cottage is just right for an “up north” adventure and is in a fantastic location. The kids loved the grounds and it was fun to take a quick stroll to the beach. The water is very shallow for 30+ yards off the shore, so we enjoyed allowing them to play with no fear of them getting out of their depth. They also liked to play together on the play set. Richard and his wife did a wonderful job of thinking of and providing all the little things you may need. We felt comfortable and at home and had a wonderful time. Just a bit up the road is the trading post (walking distance) where you can find some snacks but also make arrangements for tubing or kayaking down the Platte River. The cottage is about 20 min from Frankfort, which has a lovely downtown and views of Lake Michigan and the lighthouse. Betsie Point is a similar distance and also had a beautiful light house. If you have little ones, there is an Alpaca farm not more than 20 minutes as well as Glen Frostic’s studio, which is worth a visit.
We highly recommend cottage Pisces and are hopeful to return again soon!

Our blended family of 6, ranging in ages from 10, 12, 17 & 23 enjoyed staying at Cottage Pisces. The older ones fit well on the bottom bunks and the younger ones stayed on the top bunks! Everything was very clean, nicely decorated and the essentials were well stocked!
We enjoyed meeting others at the resort and everyone was so friendly.
The shared beach was peaceful to watch the sunset or to just sit under the stars!
The firepit was perfect for making smores!
It is conveniently located to many fun things to do! We would stay here again!

Wonderful cottage
Spotlessly clean, nicely decorated, well-appointed!
Comfortable beds, nice and bright rooms with large, well-functioning windows, ceiling fans in bedrooms and living area.
The “closet” systems of shelving and racks are so handy, and much nicer than a dark closet!
Pisces cottage is the first unit off the road, in a sweet little kind of retro style resort, but still quiet and a little off the beaten path.
The shared beach area isn’t large, but was never crowded when we were there. Nice chairs provided, and a nice fire ring area and dock.
Contactless checking in and out, and Hosts were always available with the info we needed at the right times, and very personable. We would stay here again!

Nice property for family with small children. The condo would be tight for full grown children. Beautiful lake in Northern Michigan with breathtaking views from the beach. However it is truly northern and there is swimmers itch and some bugs to deal with. Great location for many options for day trips.

Great cozy cabin!!
This cute cabin was just right for our "family adventure"!!! (I refuse to call them vacations when children are involved. ;-)) Had everything we needed, including comfortable beds. The owner was great to communicate with and made checking in and out very easy.
The private access to Platte Lake was amazing! The cabin is also centrally located to many of the area's other public beaches. Our favorite was Empire Beach...definitely recommend especially if you are coming with kids! Papa J's just down the road has amazing pizza and fun atmosphere.

What was not to love about this quaint yet practical cabin?! Communication with the owner was perfect, he was very quick to answer questions before and during our stay. The cabin was better than we expected. Very clean and enough space for our family of 4. It was equipped with everything you need including some spices and coffee. The air conditioner had a sight hiccup, but never stopped working for us. The owner Rick was quick to troubleshoot the issue and everything was fine. The check-in/check-out process was easy. Our kids (11 & 8) enjoyed swimming in the clear water lake, my husband loved fishing from the kayak in the evening on the south end of the lake and I the peaceful atmosphere. We kayaked, biked and hiked in the local towns during our stay. The cabin is close to Sleeping Bear Dunes, multiple lakes & rivers and bike trails. Our family loved that we were able to kayak from Platte Lake to Lake Michigan. If you do this with your own kayaks, your going to need to make sure you have transportation back or you can rent kayaks or river tubes from one of the many local rental companies near by. We will definitely be back year after year!
