Summary: Couldn’t have had a better week at the Blue Dog! Such a perfect, rustic cottage with the best view. Spent most our time on the beach and back deck - especially loved the porch swing. Hope to come again next summer!

Summary: Such a wonderful week at The Blue Dog! So sad that we left this morning, already looking forward to our week next year! The rustic peacefulness here is a privilege! New this year is high speed internet and cell service. Truly a plus as long as you don't let it distract you from the old world charm! 2020 has been a bad year in so many ways, but you'd never know it if you were lucky enough to spend a week at The Blue Dog! We have grandchildren (7, 9, & 12) that visited one afternoon (they live on Mullett Lake and have every imaginable water craft/toy) but asked to come back the following day. Just goes to show you that no matter the age the white sand beach and beautiful Lake Michigan at The Blue Dog will lighten every heart and soul!

Summary: Remote, rustic cabin with cozy furniture and spectacular views of Lake Michigan. Don't come here if you want to stay wired to technology however, as there isn't any WiFi, and cell reception is poor. Come to unwind, embrace nature and loved ones, and gaze at beautiful sunsets and more stars than you've ever seen.

Summary: A wonderful place to unwind and relax. The views of the lake are magnificent and the cottage is rustic but functional and in great condition for a place built in 1916. Best for 4 adults or a family of 6
