Direct Mickey Lake, Traverse City, Hot tub, Kayaks, Row Boat, Dog ok

A very rustic cottage on Mickey Lake, this home, built in 1938, has the charm of the older cottages of yesteryear with some modern conveniences! It has a rowboat, fire pit, hot tub, and kayaks. There are two bedrooms, one with a Queen and one with a twin over a twin bunk bed. There is one small bathroom. You may have to duck to get in the door. A Well-behaved dog is welcome with an additional nonrefundable cleaning fee. However, humans are expected to clean up after their pets.

This cottage is very close to the water, so it does tend to get musty during rain so there is an A/C unit in the closet in the primary bedroom. Please leave the doors open when not in use, and there should be no problems. Cabin has no furnace -it has an electric fireplace and a space heater. 4 life jackets are provided, but if specific sizes are needed, please bring them. Mickey Lake is connected to Long Lake, and boaters can enjoy both lakes. The rowboat does not have a motor. There is a gas grill for cooking a nice outdoor meal and a fire pit for gathering after dinner.

Relaxing little cottage

We had a lovely time here. The location is great, the lake is pretty and calm, and the hot tub is fantastic. The cottage itself is a bit dated/janky, but we expected that based on the listing description. If you're fussy you'll surely find things to nitpick, but if you're just looking to chill on a lake and be close to Sleeping Bear Dunes, this place is great and reasonably priced.

Rustic cabin in great location

Bring bottled water! The water is very rusty. This is a no-frills cabin, as described. It was a good home base for our fishing trip - within walking distance to the boat launch. The lake is beautiful. It was great enjoying the lovely view from the hot tub. Also, the property manager responded quickly when I had a question.

“Very Rustic”

The description did say “very rustic”. However I didn’t expect it to have beasts and ants flying around, stained toilet and shower. Water smells nasty and the air flow is minimal. With that being said, the view is great! Hot tub was also great. Furniture new and clean. It’s a little cabin on a lake. It’s a lot of money for 4 nights. $1500. Wouldn’t go back but it wasn’t awful. No wake on this lake. And fishing wasn’t good either.

Juneteenth long weekend

A long rainy weekend in a cozy little cabin reading books by the lake. Space is small w rustic bath but the living room and sun porch make it feel big.
