Quick getaway to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The cottage was very clean and cozy. We had a great weekend paddling and kayaking up and down the river. The cottage has a great location near a lot of awesome spots including Petoskey and Legs Inn. We had a beautiful weekend. Thank you!!

We were skiing at Nubs Nob for the holiday weekend. The cottage was 15 minutes away so it worked out well. The communication with the property owners was great. We definitely would consider a return visit for sure!

Stayed at this awesome place NYE 2023 (Dec 31 – Jan 2, 2024) with my GF. Views of the river's wildlife complemented the interior’s holiday décor. The area has numerous attractions during the winter – including downhill skiing, snowshoeing and ice fishing. We had a lovely time. Highly recommend during the winter/cold months.

We decided to stay at the cozy cottage based on the beautiful photos with the listing. When we got to the cottage we were very pleased to find that the cottage was even cuter than the photos showed! It had everything we needed for our 3 day stay and the backyard was the perfect spot to relax in the late afternoon after sightseeing all day. It was very clean and comfortable. The owners also knew we were celebrating our honeymoon and left us some chocolate and Prosecco which we found to be so thoughtful. Highly recommend this place for your stay! We hope to come back one day to further explore the beautiful area.

Tamara and Jason are the perfect hosts! The cottage was extremely clean and well stocked with all the essentials and more. They even provided a wonderful bottle of wine on arrival. The location was an easy drive to Petoskey, Harbor Springs and the ferry to Mackinac Island. I loved being able to watch all the boats pass the cottage on Crooked River. Very peaceful. I would definitely stay here again. Such a gem!

This truly was a cozy cottage. It was clean, cute, and had everything we needed. Tammy was communicative through the process and it was the perfect location - it felt like it was close to everything! We went up to do some hiking and it was the perfect spot to come back to and relax in the evening. We didn't get to utilize the deck as much as we hoped because the weather was too cold, but i imagine in the summer it is the perfect hang out spot. The bed was comfy, the water pressure in the shower was great, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had a great time here! Cute and comfortable cabin! The river was calm and sitting on the back deck was wonderful. The boat ride to the connecting lakes was a little longer than expected, but still a lovely location and took nothing away from the cabin and the experience here.

The cottage was adorable, very clean and provided everything you need for a great stay. You really don't have to bring anything except your clothes and food. The beds were extremely comfortable with really soft sheets, which made for a great night sleep. We loved how close it was to Petoskey and Mackinac. We will definitely plan on staying again. Thank you, Tammy and Jason for opening up your cottage to us.

Cozy, clean, quiet and close to Petoskey. This little cottage was just the spot we needed for a girl’s getaway. Tamara is so kind and was so helpful. Their was an issue with the lock box before we even arrived and she called to let us know & she took care of it. She also gave us great recommendations for dining options in Petoskey. The beds were super comfy and the sheets were the softest I’d ever slept on! The cottage, deck and yard area are very clean and tidy. 100% satisfied with our choice.

We really enjoyed our stay. The home is beautifully decorated and the host provided everything you might need. Lovely seating area on the back deck where you could relax and watch the boaters in the river. TV's in both bedrooms and the living area with lots of viewing options. Lots to do either in Petoskey or Mackinaw area - both are just a short drive away. We enjoyed a lovely, relaxing weekend and highly recommend this home and the host!

Just perfect!
I had a lot of communication with Tammy and she was extremely responsive, and very thorough and helpful in her responses. This property was so well equipped, with so many little touches to make you feel at home. From the very cute decor, to all the amenities, it's like Tammy and Jason are always thinking about their guests. The most recent addition is the awning which helps keep the heat down on those hot days. The location is great in watching the boats and kayakers go by and all of the wildlife. And, the proximity to Petoskey and Mackinaw is great if you want to visit the area. I could go on and on. Thank you for having us. I can't wait to return!

A true gem
The property was clean, neat, welcoming, and impossible NOT to enjoy. T&J were outstanding hosts: quick and informative communication and above-and-beyond welcoming offerings. This was one of the best family vacations our family had. The everyday mornings with a nice coffee on the porch under the electrical awning: great start for exploration days that got better by the time. Could not ask for a better “base camp”. Thank you, T&J, for the great memories you allowed to be created. You are the gold standard in VRBO!

Great stay at the cozy cottage
We don’t have a whole lot different to add than the other reviews, and would 100% echo what they stated about the cleanliness, great communication, amenities and wonderful location of this cottage.
We were in town for Petoskey’s Fresh Coast Classic soccer tourney, and had a great relaxing stay between games with our kids and dogs. The hosts made the stay effortless, and we really enjoyed the great fishing off the dock + very nice neighbors.

Gem cottage
Beautiful cottage/setting located on a dead end private road on the river. Great location in between charlevoix, Harbor Springs, Petoskey & Mackinaw City!! This home had everything we needed...seriously a home away from home. Perfect home for families, pets and SO much to do!! We enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday & enjoyed the most beautiful snowfall!! We loved going into town & coming back to a peaceful setting to relax. Can't wait to stay at this cottage in the summer months!! It was simply perfect ♡

Fall color tour
Very nicely decorated and updated. Everything needed was available. Very clean and well-maintained. Nice little town with a grocer, bakery, and a family restaurant, all within minutes of the cabin. The location served us well for day trips to Petosky, Mackinaw, Cheboygan, Indian River, and the Tunnel of Trees. A great experience overall!

Great place for a quick weekend getaway
I traveled here with my daughter and friend. We had a great stay. Tammy and Jason's cozy cottage was perfect. Sitting on the patio out back along the river watching the boats go by and waving was the perfect way to start our trip. The location was great, as we ventured to Charlevoix, Petoskey and Mackinaw City. We even took a day to drive to the UP and toured the Pictured Rocks. We definitely will stay again and make use of the paddle boards and kayaks. The neighbors were friendly as well. Nice spot on a dead end street.
