Perfect location. Short drive to everything that we were looking to do, kayak, beach, shop, wineries, restaurants, trails.The cottage is exceptionally well stocked. Clean and comfortable. The property manager was very responsive for all our needs. He even messaged us to warn of a storm coming in.Most important to me is that our dog was welcome. There is even a poop bag dispenser.
We frequent this area a few times a year but this was our first staying closer to Platte Lake. The property was well maintained and secluded. The house was very well kept. We had a minor hurdle during check in but John was incredibly responsive and it was resolved quickly and respectfully. We will definitely add this to our list for future visits.
It was an excellent stay from start to finish. Ownerâs communication is great before and during the stay. The house itself is perfectly located for solitude and adventure. You are in between Frankfort/crystal lake and sleeping bear dunes/empire with both being 15 minutes north or south. Place was clean with all the amenities we could ask for. We certainly look forward to coming back! Thanks for the great weekend accommodation.
We had a great week exploring the Spring sites in and around the Sleeping Bear area. The house was very clean, quiet and cozy; perfect for our stay. Much nicer bath and kitchen than similar places weâve stayed in the area.
Had a wonderful vacation for the wife and I to unwind and relax. The cabin was just perfect and we truly enjoyed every moment. The Cabin was well stocked with everything we needed. We saw deer every evening in the forest surrounding our little cottage in the woods.
The property and house looked exactly like the pictures listed online. We had a great stay and did many fun things in the area. I would say it is about 20 minutes from everything that we did. We went to Sleeping Bear dunes climb, Sleeping Bear point beach, pyramid point, Glen Arbor, Cherry Republic, North Bar Lake, Cherry Bowl, Sleeping Bear scenic Drive, Riverside kayaking is right down the road. Restaurant recommendations are Cherry Hut, Sweets Bar and Grill, and Cherry Public. The only small problem we had is the house has well water and it ruined some of our clothes doing laundry. The owner addressed the problem and was doing a well treatment after we left.Would definitely stay in this house again!
Very clean inside, and nice kitchen, but nothing was set up outside for guests. Had to clean all the outdoor furniture to use it, some of which was broken. Inside, the freezer did not open more than a few inches (not usable), and the tv was not set up in the bedroom. Otherwise, cannot beat the location!
Great place for our family vacation! Quiet wooded property. Host was very helpful with good communications. Close to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Platte River, and Traverse City which offered endless options for activities to enjoy.
This was our second stay at Serenity Cottage and just as great as the first! Clean and comfortable, nice linens and kitchen, and easy access to Sleeping Bear.
This property was phenomenal. The place was clean, comfortable, and cozy. There were plenty of pots and pans and herbs available for cooking. Hosts were excellent communicators and very welcoming.
We had a terrific time here. Itâs clean, new, and the hosts thought of so many little details to make it an easy place to stay. Excellent location thatâs close to so many adventures.
