Summary: My daughter asked for a snowy Christmas for her Christmas gift. This property exceeded our expectations. The lake views are incredible. It was a beach, forest, snowy stay all rolled into one trip. She loved sledding down the sand dunes and building a snowman. The isolation allowed for the most wonderful night skies. I’ve never seen so many stars in my life. The Christmas decorations were a very thoughtful touch. We were close enough for day trips to Tahquamanon Falls, Big Spring, rock hunting at Lake Superior, and Benny the Beard Fisher. The cottage had everything we could need on the days we wanted to relax and enjoy views. I’m sure that we will return!
