What to know during the Summer: WaterLand
Tranquil retreat is an easy walk from fishing and kayaking in Pickerel Lake, just down the road from the picturesque Crooked Vine winery, minutes away from the convenience of Alanson amenities and the charm and bustle of Downtown Petoskey. Or, going a few minutes in the other direction, hop the ferry to Mackinac Island to enjoy a true Northern Michigan gem. Wildlife abounds in this restorative setting, filling your senses with birdsong, the haunting call of the loon, and meandering wildlife—including deer, turkeys and sandhill cranes—from the area’s three nature preserves. When the stars come out, this place really shines under the light of identifiable constellations, the Milky Way, and clear views of the moon rising over Pickerel Lake. This charming cottage is perfect for both short-term and long-terms guests.

What to know during the Winter: Michigan Winterland.

This winter wonderland surrounding the picturesque Starlight Cottage sits at the intersection of one of Northern Michigan’s premiere snowmobile trails and just 12 miles from Nub’s Nob, ski area, the Winter Sports Park, and the Boyne Highlands ski area. Situated on two acres, you can snuggle up with a good book and a cup of hot cocoa—or snowshoe right from the back door, build a snowman in the spacious meadow, and immerse yourself in the wintertime magic of Emmet County’s multifaceted winter playground. When the stars come out, this place really shines under the crystal clear sky with identifiable constellations, and clear views of the moon rising over Pickerel Lake.
