The cabin was really clean and super cute. I know it doesn’t say it on the booking but it’s almost like a tiny house. I don’t think I was expecting it to be so small but again super cute and we enjoyed our time there. A couple things I would bring with me next time would be a towel for my hair after a shower and something to put my shampoo and such on while in the shower. Will book thru Sabrina again.

The cabin was nice. The cleaning crew did a good job. It smelled clean and was well put together. The cons for not getting a 5 star rating: 1.) Check in listed as 3pm, we showed up at 3:15. Code for door didn't work and the cleaning crew was still working. Caused an hour delay in check. No communication was given about delayed check in. 2.) There is a mouse problem and saw no warning about it. My fresh fruit on the kitchen counter top got eaten and saw mouse poop on the kitchen counter over night. It also knocked over something trying to get into a food bag and woke me up at night. I'm a camper, i get we're in nature, but for the priced paid it wasn't expected.

Stay was just OK.

The listing was somewhat accurate. The AC did not work, no instructions on use of the fireplace, and the wiring scheme is novel.

The cabin itself was very nice, however is more suited to watching TV than internet surfing. Nice comfy loveseat, small round table/desk. Also, thought the cabin was further off the road, but that's always a chance taken. Also, having the side entrance unlockable by code would be nice, but that's a quibble.

False advertisement

The cabin overall was a cute little place. Had no issues with any one on site. The stove top was dirty (crumbs) & there were dead bugs in the window seals. Unfortunately, there was false advertisement on the listing. It says air conditioned, sadly it was not. There was no pre warning and resident did not reach out to Inform us either. Asked for a partial refund due to the false advertisement and they never contacted me back.

Cozy spot

This was a wonderful little getaway location close to hiking trails. Check in was a little rocky (my door code didn't work) but we managed to get a hold of the host and it was resolved quickly.

Adorable little cozy cabin! Would have loved to see an electric insert for the fireplace or flame less candles. Would have made it even more cozy! Very romantic weekend with the love of my life! Definitely worth the drive from Spring Lake! Local restaurants/bars are great too!

Labor Day Weekend

The property was quiet and clean with only one other guest in a cabin and only 25 minutes to all the Manistee attractions and the lake. VRBO email had one set of wifi instructions, the box for the router near the TV had another set of wifi instructions, and the binder (which I didnt immediately look at) had a third. The property owner responded immediately to my request after we tried the first two sets of info, which is all I can ask for, but offering consistent information is important.

Unknown person or people

Had a three night stay and there was a light knock or tap at the door at or around 10pm, well after dark the first two nights. On the third night, I went to test the door lock and opened the door and an individual was standing there and my girlfriend screamed so loud twice that the individual ran away. First two times I checked around outside and did not see anything. After a brief confrontation with the individual, we left and did not complete our stay sadly. I am sorry for the bad review but, this is not a normal thing well away from any towns.
