Other things to note
Bakery Lane cottage is located in the heart of Northern Michigan and a perfect location for so many destinations. It is the site of our former Artisan bakery. We provide private parking for our guests next to the cottage and we keep our own vehicles at the bottom of the driveway. You may notice us coming or going during your stay.
We are off the beaten path with solitude and serenity but within 10 miles of Lake Michigan beaches, local attractions, grocery stores, farm markets and eateries. We have a large organic garden and hoop house and a great love for nature and the cycles of the seasons. In the Spring it is maple syrup season and in the summer we make time for bike rides to Lake Michigan to our favorite spot for a picnic and swim.
We are committed to social and environmental justice while embracing progressive actions and solutions to our common challenges. We welcome people of all races, genders and orientations and encourage others to do so as well.
We look forward to you experiencing the charm, comfort and character of Bakery Lane Cottage.
