Wow, this was such a lovely setting for a relaxing couple of days with friends. The cabin was clean and well outfitted. It really felt like a family's treasured home and we could feel the generations before us who had enjoyed it. The lake is beautiful and you are a close drive to great beaches. I would love to return again.

Our family had a great time relaxing at this peaceful lake house. The neighborhood is quiet, the lake is beautiful, and the location is so close to beautiful Lake Michigan beaches. We enjoyed day trips to the dunes, Glen Arbor, and Traverse City and then returned to the house to relax and play games.

We enjoyed how close it was to most of our favorite places like Sleeping Bear Dunes, Empire, Esch Road Beach, and Leland to name a few. We had a rainy day and because there was cable we watched a football game. Enjoyed sunning on the dock. Had a fire. To top it off we saw a beautiful double rainbow that ended in the lake. So beautiful!

Great property with a fantastic location.

The Beauvais Cottage was the perfect Michigan getaway for my family. The cottage was very clean and well appointed. It had everything we needed to have a comfortable stay. My family and I enjoyed sitting around the fire at night and listening to the sounds of the lake. We even managed to take a spin in the canoe every day of our visit! The location was great as well, very close to Glen Arbor and Sleeping Bear Dunes. I would definitely stay there again!

We spent five days with our family (four adults and a teenager) in early August. This cottage has everything you would need and more - and it's close to towns with interesting restaurants. There is a canoe and a dock and an interesting collection of hummingbirds that are fun to watch come to the feeder. There is a fire pit but you will need your own firewood (available many places in the vicinity). This review is being written during the pandemic so our eating experiences were either outside dining (Little Traverse Inn) or take-out with outdoor dining at a nearby wine bar. We were unlucky with loss of electricity because of a huge storm part way through our stay, but with the lake just a few feet away, we were able to wash the dishes (and ourselves!) easily. The stove uses gas so cooking and making coffee wasn't a problem. The manager was very responsive to our requests and needs, and her help was much appreciated. The cottage has character and there are mementoes of the original owners on the walls. All in all, it was a fine experience and I would recommend this cottage.

The cottage is a classic Northern Michigan cottage with knotty pine paneling. The kitchen is well stocked and everything was in working order. Our weather wasn’t the best unfortunately but there is plenty to do in the area. Several nice hiking trails that lead to Lake Michigan. Best entertainment was the hummingbird feeder right outside the porch window.

The process was easy and it was well worth it. Any questions were promptly answered. If you like getting away this is the place

Very easy booking and check in. The house is on a beautiful inland lake and is very quiet. Exceeded all expectations.

The cottage on Little Traverse Lake was perfect for my family and I. The lake is absolutely beautiful and the cottage was well suited to our needs. We did not experience a problem of any kind during our stay. Plenty to do in the area and beautiful beaches on Lake Michigan are close by as well.

A friend and I rented this house for a long weekend in July. We had a wonderful time! The property was clean and stocked with linens, charcoal for grill, etc. The house was always at a comfortable temperature with windows open and the property was very quiet and peaceful. We loved having our morning coffee on the dock behind the house and enjoyed grilling out or going for a socially distanced dinner at Little Traverse Inn or in Glen Arbor in the evenings.We had trouble finding the walking path to Lake Michigan that was described in the listing, but were able to drive about 7 minutes to Good Harbor Bay Beach, which is not too crowded and has parking. One other suggestion would be to include a courtesy bundle of wood for the fire pit, similar to leaving charcoal for the grill. Thanks for a great stay!

We had everything we needed and more. The pictures didn’t do justice to how beautiful and private this location was. However, it was only a short drive to many great “up north” towns so always plenty to do. House was super clean! We had a great time!

The cottage was clean, beds comfortable, sheets new, and kitchen well-stocked with good equipment and appliances. The place is set well back from the road, among beautiful oaks and pines, with enough space between deck and water for kids to play. The lake is beyond spectacular: clear, shallow water; lovely vistas and a great dock from which to enjoy it all. Yes, some of us got swimmers' itch despite preventative measures, but we weren't uncomfortable for long. Enjoyed feeding the hummingbirds and other song birds, and watching the loon families perch on the neighbor's raft. Proximity to Good Harbor Bay beach and the peninsula's towns were a plus.

Mary the host was very helpful and responsive. She made the whole process very simple. The cabin itself is very cool. It has has a retro vibe- for some it may need some updating (there is definitely a 70's era time warp here), but it is kept exceptionally clean. The view of the lake is fantastic from the little dock, and there is a canoe to paddle around on. There is also a nice little fire pit. There are other homes fairly near that are not evident from the pics, but it is not claustrophobia inducing. The one major problem is that there are warnings on this lake for a condition called 'swimmers-itch' which apparently can cause mosquito- bite type reactions. I saw several persons swim/water-ski, on this lake, and I waded out around the dock a few times without any problems, so I do not know how much of a concern it is.
