A Great Up North Escape Awaits You

This beautiful new Amish built log cabin sits on a rolling 80 acres just outside of beautiful Onaway, The sturgeon capital of Michigan. Five miles from the UAW Black lake golf club, 10,000 acre black lake, feet away from the trails and lasting memories. Perfect for hunters as this property is very close to surrounding state land. Centrally located from Rogers city, Mackinac, Petoskey and Gaylord. Bring your boats, quads, side by sides, snowmobiles and explore beautiful Northern Michigan. Free Wifi with strong connection. This property is also handicapped accessible/barrier free. Outdoor patio and fire pit. Plenty of room for your trailers and off road vehicles! Only 1/4 mile to the MI trail ride so no need to tow your trailer once you arrive. Perfect 4 season getaway.

Phenomenal, as always!
This is our second stay at the cabin and it was just as great as the first. It is clean, stocked with everything you could have possibly forgotten or need, and the bed is the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in. Maj-Lis is always an incredible host, and we look forward to returning!

Great Getaway!
What a beautiful place to stay while we explored a part of Michigan we weren't familiar with. Beautiful country setting. Very clean with thoughtful amenities. It is located on a busy road, but traffic noise wasn't an issue during the night. We'd highly recommend!

Quiet getaway
Wonderful setting within range of all of the northern Michigan sites and trails. Travel to Mackinac City to see the Fort or go onto the Island, or see the many State Parks for hiking and shoreline town shopping. Close to the only Waterfalls in the lower peninsula, and also located close to Onaway park with metal art works by a local that will turn your head. Wonderful viewing of area wildlife and I recommend the stay.

Adorable cabin that had all the amenities we needed and VERY clean. The only thing we were disappointed about was that there was no snow until our last day! We would defiantly recommend this property.

We were sooooo happy with the cabin. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The furnishings were beautiful, the outdoor area was perfect for mornings with coffee. The peacock was an absolute bonus! All in all, very nice property.

Good stay near Onaway
The house is in a nice spot right off a main road and was easy to find and access. We were very happy with how it was equipped, seems like the host/owner thought of almost everything. Internet and streaming worked well. Everything is in good shape and it was very comfortable stay. Very happy with our decision to stay there.

What a Dream!
Incredible, beautiful, clean, every detail down to sleds for kids to play in the snow. Unbelievable service. The cabin is exquisite and the perfect example of an up north getaway. We loved it so much we booked another stay before we were through with this one. Cannot wait to go back!

Quiet, serene getaway
Coming up from the Grand Rapids area to visit family for the holidays and this property was close to family and a wonderful reprieve to relax in! Even with a literal blizzard it was warm, cozy and clean. Our pups were able to join us, which we appreciate that it was animal friendly because it wouldn’t be the holidays without our fur family! A perfect cabin atmosphere and our host was wonderful. Highly recommend and we will be returning!!

Very nice property . Super cute, super clean . One minor issue was the location of firepit , I wish it had been located out back behind the cabin instead of the side yard near the neighboring home .

Beautiful Weekend Getaway
My husband and I chose to stay here for our annual northern Michigan winter getaway weekend. The house was beautiful and was probably the cleanest home we have rented so far, which says a lot! The bed is kind of a memory foam - I loved it and he hated it, so it's just a personal preference. We explored Awakon Park, which has some neat sculptures scattered along some trails. Had a great dinner at Wood Winds Restaurant then enjoyed drinks and karaoke at Al's Onaway Bar. We had a great time relaxing for the weekend. I would go back in a heartbeat!

Felt like home!
This property is amazing! Not one detail was missed. By far the best VRBO we have stayed in! The log cabin has a cozy rustic feel and is nicely decorated. Extremely clean, beds were very comfortable, plenty of towels, all amenities were up to date. Property is located close to a main trail for snowmobiling. It made going for a ride real easy. We felt right at home. We will most certainly be coming back!

Relaxing Getaway
Rural environment but close to town. My husband and I enjoyed sitting and relaxing on the porch overlooking the fields. A beautiful resident peacock was friendly and visited us each evening. Cabin itself was clean and comfortable with everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Everything worked! A high-point for us was hiking at nearby Ocqueoc Falls. The cabin was home base as we explored a bit of northern Michigan in the early spring. Highly recommend this lovely getaway.
