I absolutely loved this rustic cabin. The location was perfect. We instantly felt a peace of mind when arriving and the cabin felt homie. Everything we needed was onsite and the landlord was pleasant and responded promptly. We hope to visit again.

The Cabin was nice and cozy. Cute decor and it had everything that one could possibly need. It checked off every expectation and then some. The price was more than fair and the location was great for traveling to nearyby attractions. We will definitely be booking another getaway soon!

Nice peaceful getaway
This cabin had everything we needed and was perfect for our little family and dog. We went to the lake (pretty much right around the corner) and found the location good for traveling to Manistee and checking out the "natural wonders tour" as well as other hiking and swimming areas as well as tons of nearby access to the Manistee river. We will love to go back again in the fall when the leaves are changing!

Quiet, peaceful but aged cabin
Location of cabin on street was so quiet and peaceful. Cabin itself is older which comes with quirks (hairdryer plug wouldn’t work with outlet in bathroom, for example), but the cabin was clean and as described. The floorboards in the bedroom were loose and felt were going to dislocate if stepped on wrong but we just treaded lightly. Kitchen supplies seemed to be what one would need to cook breakfast and dinner. Could only find one glass, and 2 plastic cups (that were large) but we managed. Pleasant stay for the price. We stayed here for our day trips to Manistee and Ludington, and up to Sleeping Bear Dunes, so the location was good for what we needed. Huge selection of dvds was nice to wind down after a long day of hiking. Host was easy to communicate with. There is an entryway security camera, which a note said would be turned off upon our arrival, but the led light was green the entire time, so I’m not sure it was ever turned off? Didn’t bother us though. All in all, cabin worked for what we needed.

Relaxing
Bed was comfortable, plenty of pots/pans/dishes, everything was clean. Road was quiet and we never heard any noise coming from the neighbors (not close by). Plenty of beds, large yard with a large fireplace, and plenty of room to move around. Overall a wonderful experience and definitely a place we would go back to!

Rustic secluded cabin
We had a nice stay. The owner was always available for communication. Although the property was quite rustic it had everything we needed - plenty of beds, kitchen appliances, shower, a/c in good working condition. The property is older but if you don't mind that it is perfectly priced and very secluded. The location was also great for us to see everything we wanted around Manistee, Sleeping Bear and Traverse City.

We enjoyed our long weekend. This cabin is a fisherman’s delight, so don’t come expecting modern. Fortunately we were happy with the closeness to The Manistee River, Tippy Dam, and the town of Manistee. Our host was very helpful!
