Perfect Cross Village Getaway!

We had a wonderful stay! The cabin was clean, fully stocked, and just beautiful! Communication with the owner was top notch and I’d say it was above the norm. The driveway is no joke and stairs are no joke, but I think that added to its charm! Highly recommend!

Cross Village trip

Very nice property, we had a very nice time. The tips in the summary sheet were very good. There were gorgeous sunsets on the beach. Only challenge was the turn in for the driveway comes quick and gravel going up the first part was a bit loose. We would definitely go back again

Maybe we had unrealistic expectations

This property has so many glowing reviews. Somehow I am missing its virtues. PROS: 3-season room for space and seating, firepit, gas grill, outdoor patio/deck, great internet, downstairs bunk room and bath, daylight in the bedrooms. CONS: It was more rustic and dated than I was anticipating from the photos, which are not completely up-to-date. Kitchen/dining is quite dim and dimly lit. The inside stairs are steep and slippery, and the decorative handrail does not feel sturdy. There was a lot of street noise from motorcycles and barking dogs. The beds were rock hard and uncomfortable. The beach, the main reason we booked this property, was accessed by walking through someone's yard. The lake view in June is almost non-existent due to foliage. Before we arrived, the dryer was out of commission and the owner was replacing the unit. The upstairs cold water valve in the shower stopped working. The owner's addressing the issues was prompt, but we left before they were actually fixed. We were tired and uncomfortable. This just didn't meet our expectations.

Idyllic, setting back in the trees set up on a hill nicely secluded above the lake, easy access to the beach and a well equipped and well appointed house.

Lake Michigan visit

The cottage was very cute and comfortable with lots of amenities. We enjoyed the private beach and the lovely lake view. We had some trouble with the key not working, but the owner was very responsive and helped us figure it out, even though it was very late at night! Be aware that unless you have a 4 wheel drive vehicle, you will be carrying all your belongings up 2 flights of deck stairs or up a very steep drive. This would not be good for someone with bad knees - unless you have 4 wheel drive to get up the driveway. Great trip though!!

Great trip!

We visited with our family and it was a perfect fit for us. The king room was so comfy and the boys loved the upstairs room and the downstairs room was perfect for the girls including their own bath. There were so many games to keep us busy in the evening. The beach was lovely but like many Lake Michigan beaches there are rocks so I recommend packing water shoes. We loved the deck and sat out there every evening after watching the sunset on the beach. We also visited our favorite spots - the beach by st. Ignatius in good hart, legs inn and pond hill farm. We had a blast.

Perfect Winter Get-away

Came up for a few days just to get away. GREAT location - around the corner from the local market. Stunning lake view. Wonderfully appointed. Was just perfect and we slept great. Owners gave us a wealth of information leading up to our stay - so helpful! We felt well-cared for and very appreciative.

Fall trip to Cross Village

We stayed at this house in May a couple of years ago and loved it. The location in the Tunnel of Trees and right across the street from Lake Michigan access is amazing. We love gathering and eating on the deck which provides a great view of the lake. It's quiet, clean and we absolutely love this house and location!

Heaven is a house on a hill

This is the third time we’ve stayed at this wonderful home. We were there for nearly a month, and not once did we get bored or wish we were home. The hosts are truly wonderful people; considerate, compassionate, and big rock hounds like us. We loved being surrounded by nature, the way the place feels like walking into a home where you’ve always been comfortable, and the ceiling of stars at night. We love it here, and hope to be back annually, for as long as time allows.

May in Cross Cross Village

My family and I had a wonderful time. The house felt secluded but you are in driving distance of everything. The property was clean. The beds felt hard at first but we all slept great. I was able to check out the little stream behind the house, but it didn’t have too much water yet. My dog really enjoyed it as well. Thank you for letting us take a little break from life to enjoy the view and stay. We appreciate it!

Another wonderful week in Michigan

This is our third year at Mike’s cottage and it’s always a pleasure to be here. It feels like home now. My favorite time is sitting on our “treehouse” deck and listening to the waves of beautiful Lake Michigan.

Fantastic location

Our family had an amazing vacation week at this property. The views of Lake Michigan were stunning and the house is perfectly set up to enjoy them. The furniture was comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and everything was very clean. The multiple levels and indoor/outdoor spaces made the home feel very spacious. Anything we might have wanted on a vacation was already there: tons of games, bikes, kayaks, beach chairs, puzzles. Communication with the owner was very easy but minimally needed as he supplies you with the most comprehensive guide to the home and the surrounding area I’ve ever received with a rental property. It was easily the best rental experience I’ve had.

Lovely views!

We enjoyed our time at this house in Cross Village! Great views and loved the sounds of Lake Michigan. Beautiful private, wooded lot with great fire pit for roasting hotdogs and marshmallows. The beach area was right across from the street from the house and offered some of the best beach walks and sunset views we have found in Michigan. We didn’t mind the walk up the stairs/steep driveway- may be difficult for those with mobility issues. The house was a bit more rustic. The wooded lot was gorgeous but did create a bit of mess with sap on the outdoor decks and furniture. We were able to explore some awesome spots - Harbor Springs, Petoskey, Mackinaw Island. The sand dunes climb up the road was great fun.

Relaxing

We really enjoyed staying at the “treehouse.” Great location to truly enjoy northern Michigan. 30 mins or less to Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Mackinac City and Island. Legs Inn is 2 mins down the road. Great food and so fun! Property had a nice beach, be sure to bring some water shoes - it gets rocky about 20 feet out. Shoes made all the difference. Pretty cool to be able to go out 100 yards in Lake Michigan. Mike has just about everything you need and is very prompt with communication. Great spot for a wonderful family vacation. Thanks Mike!
