Peaceful Get-Away
Our stay at Trout Lily Cabin was wonderful! My husband and I wanted to go Up North for a little get-away to see the leaves change, and to adventure around the Sleeping Bear Dunes area. On our way in on Friday night we stopped at a fabulous Mexican restaurant near the cabin called Roadhouse Mexican Bar and Grill. Yum! -A bit of a foodie place, with a lovely outdoor bar area. We ate inside at the bar though because the place was full. Seems very popular!
The cabin and property was even more beautiful than we expected. After our Saturday out hiking, beaching, and “scenic viewing,” we came home to the warm hot tub which was ready to go! Looking out from the hot tub a beautiful forest spralls out before your eyes. Inside, you see this same view from all of the main living spaces: the dining room, kitchen, and living room.
After our soak, we walked across the lawn, through a short wooded trail, and down to the river with a couple of cocktails. There is a lovely deck and dock on the river with quality outdoor couches and chairs. Golden sun rays illuminated the sandy bottom of the shallow river, maybe 4 feet at the deepest here. The scenery was beautiful, and very private with a complete wooded area across the river as well. We talked about bringing our kayaks up the next time we come. It would be very easy to put them in the river here and kayak down to Lake Michigan.
On our way back to the cottage we sat on the front porch for a while to enjoy this space before going out to dinner at The Manitou in between Beaulah and Frankfort. The food was fabulous, and wait staff were friendly and efficient. We chose to sit outside by the firepit, but you could easily make reservations and sit in the fancier dining rooms.
There is also a fire pit outside the cabin and a wood burning stove inside, both very easy to use. And ample wood ready to use inside and outdoors. The TV works well and the living room furniture is quality and comfortable to lay around and read, talk and laugh!
Our trip was a much needed getaway! Thank you to the owners for thinking of every little detail! Especially the clean and well appointed and updated kitchen area. So easy to cook and visit with people at the same time.
