Stay a While is a beatiful little cottage nestled in the trees away from prying eyes. Super clean and modern and in a great location to give you access that everything Benzie County has to offer as well as easy access to Empire, Lake Ann, Long Lake and Traverse. The mattresses were SUPER comfortable!!!Will definitely stay again!
Sarah S. | Jul 2026
Second summer staying here and we love it. Great space, quality amenities, super clean. It's somehow in the middle of town but in a quiet, hidden spot that feels very peaceful. And a block from the lake, can't beat that.
