Great spot!
This was an awesome spot to stay for our group. Slept 8 of us well. One bedroom a couch and a giant room with 7 beds upstairs. Only 25 minutes from Arcadia Bluffs. Would stay again. This is a shared property with others which we didn’t know but it still worked out. Owners were responsive and very nice.

Delightful
This rental is clearly well cared for. We stayed while touring Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore. It was an easy drive to highlights of the area. There are restaurants within 2 miles. Everyone remarked how comfortable the rental was, and we have some picky family members. We used almost all of the extras- the dog yard, the game room, the fire pit, the nature trail. It was truely a "home" to come back to after a day of hitting the trails and beaches. The only mishap occurred when one of us accidently locked the shower room door and then closed it. We were able to spring the locking mechanism with a metal spatula with little drama (well, not too much drama!), but such locking door styles aren't a good design for just this reason. We would book again when in the area!

Perfect stay for a large group
The place was perfect; exactly how it is described. There were many little extras: a crate for the furbabies, a secure fenced area for the dog, clean up bags for the dogs, coffee, filters, shampoo, toothpate, q tips, etc. It also had plenty of toilet paper towels and rags, and more. We had so much fun and plenty of room for everyone. The rental had so many games and activities that are on the property grounds for guests to use and enjoy. We would glady stay here again.

We headed north for some fall golf and a trip up to Lelanau Peninsula. Great location for both. Home had everything we needed. Loved the king bed in the master bedroom. Slept great. We will definitely be back when we are in the area.

Charming
We enjoyed our weekend here. The property had all of the amentities and space that we needed. It was close and convenient to Crystal Mtn. We were pleasantly surprised to find the attention to detail (an extra toothbrush, toothpaste, coffee creamers, candy bowl, etc) that made us feel at home. We also enjoyed discovering all of the antiques and collectables that made this property charming.

Awesome Experience
The layout was perfect for my high schoolers and it was very affordable. The nice big kitchen and living room made it easy to spread out and we never felt cramped. The site was quiet even with 2 other rentals on it.

Great mini getaway!
Our group included three families with children. This house was great for our large group. The kitchen was easy to cook in and had plenty of room. The living room was a great gathering area for our large group as well. I can’t speak to the other beds, but my husband and I slept in bedroom closest to the patio area and it was very comfortable. The check in and check out were simple. The owner is also friendly and quick to respond to questions. I would recommend this cabin.

Great place!
We had 10 people in our group, 2 families. There was ample room for all of us plus more! The place was quiet and comfortable and there were no issues at all. I would definitely stay again when We’re the area. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had a lot of amenities if you wanted to cook in a lot. We were out and about a lot and only there to wind down and sleep. But I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the stay or the house:)
