We found exactly what we wanted: a log cabin in the woods with no people around so that the dogs could run free. We took lots of excursions to nearby towns, hikes, restaurants, and beaches. What a great part of Michigan!

Great private getaway!

My family and I stayed here for our ski trip to Chrystal mountain, and it was a we fly as described. Very private with 30 acres and the cabin was super cozy! We spent most of our time in the cozy den downstairs with the fire on and watching the snow fall. Exactly what we were looking for and appreciated the stay.

We were very happy at Edie's cottage. It's isolated -- which is exactly what we wanted -- and we loved that there were so many acres of woods with trails where we could walk with our dogs. We were grateful that the kitchen was so well-outfitted, and we were delighted with the tv and hot tub. The cottage is also beautifully decorated. We can recommend it heartily for anyone wanting to "get away from it all" and enjoy complete relaxation in a very welcoming space. A lovely experience in every way!
