Charming Up North River Cottage
Spend a weekend Up North at this charming cottage. This spot is the perfect home base to enjoy everything that our idyllic area has to offer! Bring your boat and launch it at the Inland Waterway access only half a mile away. Grab a coffee and take a short walk to the river to watch the boats come by. Spend a relaxing evening cozied up by the bonfire.

About the host
Hosted by William Zoerhof
This area is my home and have loved every second of it. While I moved away for a period of time, it was hard to stay away. I now live here with my girlfriend and fully don't consider this a 'rental property' and hope neither will you but rather our wish is that you consider it your home away from home throughout your stay.
Why they chose this property
This property is so unique because it offers so much variety to outdoor activities. While the house is quaint, it is very secluded, away from the road with trees lining either side of the house. There is a firepit and a huge yard for your family to enjoy and make memories.
Additionally, it is 30 feet away from the river so you can jump on at any time. If you are a boater, you can drop your boat from the boat-launch (.5 miles away) and navigate several lakes (crooked, burt, mullet, etc.).
It is located in downtown Alanson so you can walk to dinner, but also a short 15 minute drive from Petoskey or Harbor Springs, a great jumping off point for any adventure.
