About this house rental

Escape to the peaceful beauty of winter in Northern Lower Michigan with a stay at this charming two-bedroom cottage in Frederic. Nestled on a spacious acre and surrounded by nature, this cozy retreat is the perfect place to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the magic of the season.
With the AuSable River, Hartwick Pines State Park, and Huron-Manistee National Forest all nearby, you'll have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Spend your days snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, hiking, exploring snowy trails, or simply taking in the quiet beauty of a Northern Michigan winter. After your adventures, warm up by the fire, enjoy a meal at a nearby restaurant, or settle in for a relaxing evening at the cottage.

Inside, the cottage offers the comforts you need for a relaxing stay, including Smart TVs, satellite and cable channels, and a well-equipped kitchen for cozy meals at home. Whether you're looking for outdoor adventure or a quiet winter escape, this cottage provides a comfortable home base for enjoying the season.

Conveniently located just over an hour from Traverse City, Petoskey, and the Mackinac Bridge, it's also a great starting point for exploring more of Northern Michigan.

A few important notes: Pets are not permitted on the property, and smoking is prohibited indoors. A $250 fee will be charged for any violation of these policies.

Please keep in mind that this cottage was built in the 1950s. It is not new construction and comes with the character and imperfections of an older home. If you're looking for a place that is charming, quaint, cozy, and full of rustic Northern Michigan character, this may be just the place for your winter getaway.

This was perhaps the nicest place I have rented from Vrbo. The fishing was great, the river was amazing and the views were perfect.

Really appreciated the extra kayak and it was especially nice being so close to the river. It worked great with the kids. Having the propane grill was extra convenient.

Great place to stay. Close to trails and can walk to the Swamp Bar for dinner and drinks. Could use a little TLC, but clean, private, and very peaceful.
