My husband and I stayed at the cottage for 6 days with our two dogs. It was clean and nicely decorated. The hiking was amazing. We went hiking or snowshoeing every day. The scenery was breathtaking. We also traveled north to the Leelenau Peninsula and went on a wine tasting tour one day, ending with dinner in Traverse City. We had a wonderful time, and so did our dogs!

This place is an absolutely wonderful little getaway. We never saw another person unless we went to town. We hiked the trails and our 2 little dogs had even more fun than we did. Kitchen is very well equipped and the grill was fabulous. Not much in the town, so plan on cooking or driving at least 15 minutes for a decent restaurant. Or better yet, just stay and enjoy this secluded little getaway!

This is our second trip to George's Retreat and and we've had a lovely stay both times. We love the house and the attached land is immense. There are beautiful and scenic views from the top of the hill and our dog loves to take us on walks on the wonderful trails. We have recommended this hidden gem to our friends and family and we hope to be back next year with our new baby and of course our dog.

We stayed at George's Retreat Oct.23-25th and had a WONDERFUL time! The cottage was very clean, organized and cozy. Our dogs really enjoyed the hiking right outside the door and nearby. It was nice being so close to Traverse City, we went there for lunch and shopping. George's Retreat was very relaxing and we would love to return! We think our dogs would agree!! Thanks for a great weekend! The Mitchell's

My husband and I with our two dogs had a wonderful time at George's Retreat! It was very clean and comfortable and they had everything we needed to cook with. I loved waking up to dear in the front yard two out of the three mornings we were there! The dogs loved to run in the trails by the cabin every day and we were close to Manestee Forest for a long day hike on the North Country Trail. We will definitely be back!

We definitely enjoyed our stay at George's Retreat, cozy, relaxing, comfortable and a pleasant and quiet setting. The trail was great for walking Oscar, our dog, also walked a small part of the Betsie Trail that we picked up at nearby Thompsonville. When it wasn't good walking weather visiting the many wineries in the region was a great option!

Hello, I visited George's Retreat in late August of this year and absolutely loved it! My boyfriend and I decided as soon as we saw it we would have to visit again once our trip was over. The cabin is adorable, clean, and spacious. All of the accomodations you could possibly hope for were available and more! We loved the land around the cabin (i.e. it was very large and had some great views, like Crystal Mt.!) In addition to how nice the cabin and the land around it was, it was also in a very convenient location. It is located between 10 and 45 min. away from at least 10 or 15 towns/cities!

Wonderful place to stay...Three adults plus two children (ages 3 and 6) and two dogs (1 year old Lab-mixes) fit just fine in the Retreat. The property surrounding George's Retreat was great for morning & evening walks with the children and dogs; we couldn't have asked for a better set-up!
Location was perfect for day trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes. We made two day trips there. The two regions where we went (dog friendly beaches) were ~30 and 45 mintues away from the cabin (leasurely drive pace).
We will definately be back....maybe for skiing in the winter (Crystal lake/mountain ski area entrance was only a 4 mintue drive down the highway from George's Retreat).

Dear George's Retreat & Readers-
I recently spent the weekend at the cabin with my girlfriend, my cousin and his wife, and our two German Shepherds. I couldn't come home and NOT write a wonderful review. We had such a nice time. The location is truly perfect! Far enough from home yet all of the conveniences one needs. The fire pit is great, the cabin so clean, organized and neat. I have referred family already, and we will surely be back. Thank You for a wonderful time.

My family had a very relaxing and peaceful stay at George's retreat. The accomodations were nice, the area quiet and we appreciated the isolated yard and land that the house is situated on. We took our dogs and walked out back to where the view is really amazing. We enjoyed sitting around the campfire and was thankful for all the kindling that was gathered for us in the pit. We really had a good time going to all the sights in the vicinity, and was glad the house is centrally located. We will be back again, that's for sure!

My Mom and partner stayed last year for the mushroom fest in mesick. All we can say about the place is- WOW! It was like stepping into someones home when they were out. Everything was fantastic! Some friends came up from Kentucky and there was plenty of room for them too! We didn't find a huge quantity of mushroom, but we had enough for a great cookout on the deck. The sauna was a treat too. And we walked for hours back on the property. We sure hope to return soon. Thank you for a wonderful- clean place! We loved it!

We had a great time at George's retreat. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. We appreciated all the little touches like the welcome breakfast gift, a lighter for the firepit, etc. Our lab enjoyed the large field where she could run around, and the trails had a beautiful view. There is a very nice pool at Crystal Mountain, and one evening we listened to music at the top of Crystal Mountain. We brought our bikes and rode the trails in Frankfort and Beaulah. Recommend canoeing at Hanmer's on the Betsie River. Much less crowded and nicer than Riverside. Hope to return in the winter for skiing.

The pancake batter, Michigan maple syrup and other welcoming touches along with comforts such as the varied DVD selection, stereo and satellite tv made my 10 yr old niece feel right at home - and give it a thumbs up. We lucked out & got to enjoy an unseasonable warm October weekend spent relaxing, sightseeing and taking in the beautiful multicolored Michigan fall landscape while exploring the many trails just steps away. Thank you!, this is just the thing 2 city girls needed and I hope to come back again soon - and stay longer next time. My dogs absolutely l-o-v-e-d it here!

Having experienced many different cabins in our Family Vacations. We have found George's Retreat to be one of the best and top of the line. From the Welcoming Treats, to the very nice Furnishings, to Excellent beds and well supplied cabin in terms of cooking utensils, and excellent washier and Dryer. This place has all the feels of being at home away from home. The view from the trails are out of this world. The Kids had a great time. Another great draw to George's Retreat are the people of Copemish! Who in small and different ways were very friendly and helpful, from the local Supermarket to the local Hardware, to the local Auto Mechanic, to the local Church! Things that now days we don't see down state. If you are looking for a great place to relax and rest or a change of pace or to experience friendly people this is the place!
