Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bonnie R. Aug 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Cute cabin, just a few steps from Little Traverse Lake. There were kayaks & paddle boards for our use. The water in front of cabin was about 2 1/2 feet deep so the sun warmed it up nicely for wading or enjoying a float. The kitchen has plenty of dishes, pots & pans, serving utensils, glasses & silverware for 2 people. The 2 bedrooms have a small Jack n Jill bathroom between them. Both bedrooms have a very small dresser. The larger bedroom has an open closet & bedside table. The mattress was very soft & not that comfortable. The smaller bedroom’s mattress was firmer & more comfortable. That bedroom has wall hooks. There was a trundle bed under the bed in the smaller bedroom. The living room also has a twin size sleeper sofa & a recliner. Both are comfortable and appear fairly new. There is a small table with 4 stools for dining by the kitchen and a picnic table on the deck. We enjoyed using the fire pit & the free firewood was so nice! There are torches on the corners of the deck but the fuel containers were empty. Melanie was kind enough to bring us fuel for those which we really appreciated. We enjoyed the great views of the lake, beautiful sunsets and watching the ducks and geese. Also toured the lighthouse, hiked the Empire Bluff trail, explored Glen Arbor & had a great dinner across the road at Market 22. It was a great week!Also appreciated that we could bring our dog. ##### Bonnie R. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth S.
