We had a great stay at this cottage. Super cute and secluded from everyday reality. It was nice to be off grid for a bit. Beach was beautiful! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a home base to visit around the U.P. Pretty much within an hour drive of all the tourist spots.

Cozy lakeside cottage
Longview Cottage is a cute, cozy little cottage which was perfect for a trip to the UP. The owners have furnished it well, with pretty much everything we needed. It was clean and comfortable, and the dvd collection is fabulous! I had one question, during our stay, for the owner who immediately responded to a text.We had a great time and would definitely recommend it.

Life is Good
Beautiful place and view!! Spent every morning on deck with my coffee! The cottage was exactly what I wanted! My 18 month old granddaughter loved how shallow the water was to play in. My daughter and her family live just up the road so location was perfect. Bed was comfy.celebrated my 19th year after surviving a massive stroke. Even made it to the UP State Fair. Very relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Peaceful winter wonderland escape.
Everything was fantastic. Stress free, relaxing, calm, quiet, and cozy. This cottage really reminds us of some beautiful places we’ve stayed in Florida along the ocean. We spent our extended weekend staying in and enjoying the warmth of the fireplace. We listened to music, watched a few movies the whole way through (rare for us) cooked a few meals, took lots of scenic pictures of the frozen lake, did some art projects, and mainly, we relaxed and enjoyed the time away together from the day to day. My fiancé had stayed here on a girls trip last year, and insisted I take her back again. I am so glad we decided to brave the snow and “get lost” for a few days. We will definitely be back. 5 stars all the way around, Jeff & Jenn have an amazing place. Can’t wait to experience it during the summer.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Longview Cottage. It was so quiet and peaceful there. I didn't realize that kind of quiet still existed in the world. The view is amazing as well as the sunsets.

We spent 5 nights here and loved every minute of it. The cottage is far enough off the road that there's no traffic noise (it's not a busy road anyways), and the lake view is amazing. The kitchen and bathroom were stocked with amenities, there was a nice selection of movies and games, and a big stack of brochures for nearby attractions.
