The cottage's rustic knotty pine interior in the kitchen and living room, along with its roughsawed/painted wood floors upstairs, and the screened-in porch give it the look and feel of an old-fashioned beachfront cottage.

There are twenty-six inland lakes found in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. They offer serene and untouched beauty away from the hustle and bustle of more popular spots. These lakes are nestled deep within forests, several are only accessible by hiking trails or driving a small winding road. Three of the lakes are on the Manitou Islands and are only accessible by taking a ferry ride and then hiking several miles.

The seclusion adds to their charm, providing a peaceful retreat. These will awhile you to enjoy the tranquility of nature undisturbed. Wildlife sightings are common, and the water is often crystal clear, perfect for swimming or kayaking. If you're seeking solitude and a chance to reconnect with nature these are the places you will want to find.
