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.

Quaint Property

I would stay again!Pros: great communication with owner, clean accommodations, relatively easy to find, quiet neighborhood, adequate amenities, furnace quickly took the chill off the home, TVs in living and sleeping areas. I’d call the home “rustic” in nature with a “country” feel.Cons: roads are not well maintained with lots of potholes so take it slow and easy. Short drive on dirt road off paved road to house. Living room furniture is a bit dated but comfortable.Just FYI INFO - I did not use the outdoor furniture (but it looked to be plentiful), the fire pit, indoor wood stove, or freestanding air conditioner.

Just right for a getaway

I stayed here last year for my own writing retreat, and again this year for a poetry workshop at the nearby arts academy. It has started to feel like a home away from home. Very comfortable and a lovely spot.

Fantastic Stay

This was a last minute trip for a special family event and Nancy made every moment of it absolutely wonderful. The place is beautiful, cozy, and very clean. Nancy was extremely responsive, accommodating, and went out of her way make us feel taken care of. We extended our trip due to how lovely it was, and then had to extend it again due to car troubles. Admits family gatherings, lots of snow, and a car breakdown - we never had to worry about our accommodations. 10/10, would love to stay again.

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!

Peaceful Cabin in a great location

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.
