My family (8 of us) stayed here for a week & everything was great. The house was clean & there was plenty of room for all of us. Not only space to gather together, but space to separate as well. There are lots of amenities and plenty of provided appliances & kitchenware to be able to cook meals all week, including gas & charcoal grills on the porch. The place is very private with a view of some woods & a pond. There is a big back porch with lots of chairs plus a large hammock in the trees in the back to chill in & enjoy the beautiful & peaceful scenery from, which was our favorite part. The nearby pond is inaccessible & not swimmable or fishable but does bring in lots of wildlife to watch. We saw & heard a pair of eagles flying around & perching in the trees near the pond all week. Lots of other birds & wildlife too including a couple deer who visited early in the morning. There's even a set of binoculars to help take in the wild life. There is a large covered pavillion in the back as well with tables & chairs and a fire pit for outdoor entertaining. Plenty of fallen trees and tree branches to collect to build a fire. There is also enough open green space in back to play outdoor games. There's even a storage chest with some yard games, balls, & a volleyball net. The basement has a foosball table & is stocked with lots of board games & books. All in all we enjoyed every bit of the house and property & would definitely rent here again.

Very nice property!

My family and I had a wonderful week staying at Hemlock Cottage. The house was clean and spacious, beds were comfy, and we had everything we needed. Loved the peaceful, serene setting, spent every morning and evening sitting on the back porch enjoying the lake and wildlife. Highly recommend!!

We enjoyed our stay very much. The house had everything you need. Close enough to visit Traverse City and Sleeping Bear Dunes. Would highly recommend to anyone.

We were in town for a softball tournament and this beat a hotel by far. So much room, great location. Have the “up north” feel. We enjoyed it and would highly recommend.

Such a cozy location with a beautiful view! A perfect place for a girls weekend to have a cozy fire and coffee on the porch in the morning. Theresa was very helpful with accommodations and easy to reach out to if needed. Would highly recommend!

We had an amazing time here! It was close (20 minutes) to Traverse City, the sand dunes, and anywhere else we wanted to go. The plaxe was beyond clean - probably the cleanest place we've ever stayed at. Great spot, will stay again!

So nice and peaceful! Thank you so much!!
