Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brittney B. Sep 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy What an incredible little place! It was perfect for my little family of 4. Our 2 children under 8 years old slept together comfortably on the pull out couch with plenty of space to stretch out. The house is only a few steps away from the water front with an amazing beach area. You can see a small piece of the water from the front porch. It is a lovely little quite place of only a handfull of cottages that all share a beautiful tree lined paved driveway. The owners were very responsive and kind with any needs (or accidents) that occurred during our stay and had no problems at all with communication. We would be lucky to stay here again the next time we visit this slice of heaven called Northport MI. ##### Brittney B.
