Welcome to our Lake Cottage we lovingly refer to as the “Quack Shack” on crystal clear Duck Lake! Nestled among towering pines and oaks, you truly get the relaxed lake cottage feel of being “up north” with all the modern conveniences. The east facing views and slight elevation make for stunning sunrises from the deck. You just have to see it for yourself! The cottage has been completely updated without losing its warm and cozy feel. Everything you need for a peaceful vacation, just bring your suit, sunscreen, smore’s and a sense of adventure as you will be surrounded by all Grand Traverse County has to offer!
