I stayed here with family for a North Shore getaway. This place was gorgeous, spacious, private, and quiet! There was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and ample shared spaces for cooking, watching movies, and relaxing together. We loved the proximity to Grand Marais and all the great North Shore hiking spots. The pizza oven was a blast to try out and I used the provided telescope to look at the beautiful full moon. If you’re looking for a private spot with family or friends to enjoy views of Lake Superior, look no further! We can’t wait to come back.

I cannot say enough. The host, the space and the location all made for one of my favorite stays ever! (Don’t rush to book though, I need to book again first! 😂)

This accommodation was a great getaway for us! The setting is exceptional and really allows you to discover one of the most beautiful corners of the province of Ontario! Everything was perfect, thank you for everything. 😁

The house was perfect. Beds were insanely comfortable and the house was clean. Beautiful views, set right next to our favorite state park. Will be back for sure, several times!

The place is GORGEOUS. Extremely spacious & as a reader I really dug the window reading nook. We got to see some super cool moths when we arrived & their little eggs. The place had a nice outside seating area which was where we ate most meals & had our morning coffee. It was extremely serene.

The perfect romantic getaway! My partner and I rented it as a mini-honeymoon after our wedding, and it was the perfect spot to unwind and refresh. The place struck a wonderful balance between feeling like home and an escape. With so many vintage games, art, and things to explore inside the house, we never left during our 2-day stay!

This was perfect for what we were looking for. Great amenities and a beautiful place to stay for the weekend. The beach area is great and the views of the bridge, sunsets and waterfront were amazing. Ordel is very responsive and helpful in every way. The house is very nice and has everything you need. Just a few minutes from town makes it easy to get to everything while also having some peace and quiet of your own.

It was a beautiful setting. Attached to the winery but on the back side so we had privacy too.

We enjoyed our stay at this accommodation. It is located right across the street from a Lake Lansing and one morning the sunrise was the most spectacular orange reflecting off the Lake. We enjoyed the infrared sauna both days we were there, the place was clean, quiet and filled with new smart electronics. Thank you we would stay here again!

Great spot! Jim is attentive and the place is great. Would stay again

Words can hardly capture the magic of Cathy’s BnB in Wasaga. From the moment we pulled into the driveway, we knew we were about to experience something special. This isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a destination in itself, a beautifully curated space that feels like stepping into the pages of an artist’s journal. The first thing that struck us was the atmosphere — peaceful, welcoming, and infused with personality. Every inch of the property is meticulously thought out and bursting with creativity. You can feel Cathy’s heart in every detail. It’s clear that this isn’t just a business for her — it’s a lifelong passion project rooted in artistry and hospitality. Cathy’s background in the arts and event world shines through in the most delightful ways. If you’re looking for something more than just a rental, if you want to stay somewhere that feeds your soul as much as it rests your body, Cathy’s BnB is it. Thank you so much for our stay!

Such a beautifully decorated and well-appointed space for our last minute “mini-moon!” The apartment was spotless and had absolutely everything we needed, and then some. The thoughtful touches (robes, slippers, treats) were much appreciated. We loved the hot tub with the river view. Robert and Taurean were friendly and very responsive hosts! We would return in a heartbeat.

Matt and shauna were marvellous hosts!! they were extremely responsive and very kind! The house was perfect! Exactly as described, right by the water, for a great price! The cutest place with a full kitchen which was greatly appreciated! The weather wasn’t great but nothing a great book and even better view couldn’t fix! It made the perfect destination for our girls trip! 1000/10 recommend staying with them if you can!

Highly recommend. The dock and the area by the lake are beautiful. And you get the entire view from the unit as well.

Jeffery had a wonderful air bnb right in the heart of traverse city! It was so nice to be able to walk to all the activities and restaurants in the area. In addition- the place has so much charm and the bed was extremely comfortable!

Such a beautiful place to stay. My Grandpa owned this property in the 70's and my family was happy to see how well maintained the cottage is and the nature that surrounds it. It was such a blessing for us to come back and visit. Thank you for taking such good care of it.

Great spot to get away. Place was clean, easy to find and all amenities were as listed in the posting.

We recently stayed in Sarah’s beautiful cottage by the lake in Hale,MI over Memorial Day weekend.Its a very easy drive from Ann Arbor.This destination worthy cottage is beyond beautiful with Rustic and modern farm house feels! Everything at the cottage is thoughtfully and meticulously planned and you can see the labor of love of the owners at the property. The place is warm and inviting like and we had a wonderful time in this little slice of heaven with gorgeous views. Hot Tub was a bonus since the Temp was still in 50’s.Sarah was very kind and responsive through out our stay. You couldn’t ask for better Hosts!

We stayed here for a little family weekend getaway. It was everything we expected, very peaceful, beautiful woodsy area on the lake. Our toddlers and teen really enjoyed the sandbox, boats, and playing in the water by the shore. Dawn was very sweet and the cabin had everything we could’ve asked for. It was a comfortable stay, very kid friendly, and we’d definitely stay again in the future.

We went up for the fall colors and had a very enjoyable stay. The view of the lake is beautiful during the day. Without light from nearby towns we could see shooting stars at night. The cottage was exactly as described. Cute, well stocked and very clean. Being older it does have some minor quirks, but nothing that took away from our visit. These were also communicated in the description. The home is very dog friendly. The fenced in yard is great. The fact that it's in the front of the yard means it doesn't interfere the lake view or access. The inside also has retractable gates if you wish to restrict your dog access to rooms as well. Kaitlin quickly responded to all of my questions. She also has a very thoughtful and detailed binder for local attractions in the area. There is only a Dollar Store and small food market in town, so you will need to the next town if you need more than convenience items. The pizza at Smokey's Restaurant & Tavern was really good!

Chris and Katie were very prompt in responding to an issue during check-in, which shows they are highly reliable hosts. The Bluestone provided a stay was very cozy and peaceful. It had everything my fiancé and I were looking for in a getaway from the busy city life. Would love to return again someday.

Nicole’s cottage is beautiful - the perfect mix of a classic cottage feel, with all of the amenities you could need. The cottage was incredibly clean, and the kitchen was very well stocked with cooking supplies. The lakefront view was picture perfect…the setting is pretty impossible to beat! Nicole was a great host, friendly, very responsive and provided all of the details we needed for a great stay. We hope to return soon!

The property is amazing-water sports, board games, lawn games, fire pit, bbq, tv, and just peace and serenity! Truly this place is a gem and is absolutely the place to relax and unwind. Del is truly a southern gentlemen. Highly responsive and is truly concerned that you have an unbelievable stay. Takes his time during the orientation to provide clear instructions and address any questions you may have. He is absolutely a lovely person and truly made our stay unbelievable. He is a 10/10 but Tam the loveliest Airedale Terrier is a 11/10 (dogs always steal the show). Please ask to pet him, amazing beautiful doggy. Del also provides complimentary breakfast sandwiches which are a delite, delivered to your door in the morning. I could not have asked for a better host and a better place to be in Tobermory! See you again Del.
