There are a plethora of fun shops and great restaurants in the area. And, if bigger city entertainment and attractions are desired, downtown Traverse City is only about a 45-minute drive from the cottage. THE SPACE: Inside, the cottage features three bedrooms. One bedroom is on the first floor, one is on the second floor, and the third is detached from the house next to the detached garage, which also has a small refrigerator.
