The driveway through the woods was beautiful! The cabin location felt very secluded and private surrounded by trees. Everything inside felt new and was in working order. Tasteful decor made the cabin feel warm and inviting. Great WiFi connection. We absolutely loved the basement TV room!!

We definitely enjoyed the rental. It was exactly what I wanted for the dogs and toddler. They were able to run around with no fear of roads that they could run into. The living quarters were perfect for 2 different families. The basement worked quite well for my husband and I with a bathroom down there to give us privacy and our own space While my daughter and her family had the upstairs including the loft for our teenage granddaughter. There were a few things not available to us that we would have liked. One being a baking sheet and the other a regular coffee pot. There was a kuerig with the coffee pods provided. Worked great for my husband but my daughter doesn’t like McCafé coffee which is what they offered. There were a few dark roast pods available so she managed. Overall the unit was quite comfortable and provided plenty of amenities to make our trip pleasant. Would stay there again if ever in the area.

Annual Guy’s Trip
We had a great stay at this cabin. It was very clean and it came with everything we needed. You only had to bring yourself & clothes. Outside firepit was great. Plenty of firewood was provided, along with comfortable adirondack chairs. Horseshoe pit & cornhole board provided was nice also. Would definitely stay again. I highly recommend this cabin through Vrbo. And, I want to thank the host, Brandan Browely for all his help and making our stay as fun and relaxing!

Best cabin ever
We really enjoyed our stay in this wonderful cabin. It was cozy, super clean, and everything that you needed was there. The bed was super comfortable, and the view out of the loft windows when waking up was amazing. The host answered all of our questions within a short amount of time. We will be back for sure!!!!!

Nice Cabin for Small Group
The cabin and property is very nice, however Sleeps 8... Very small maybe a 4 person cabin but definitely not for larger groups. Lacked Storage, no closet space and no dressers or anywhere to place your clothes. plan to use your luggage. We booked the property for 8 nights...it was disappointing to have to leave all of our clothes in the luggage.
Property is very nice, the grill, fire pit, wood for fires etc...Host is excellant. Great getaway for a 4 person or smaller group.

Perfect QUIET retreat in the woods
Hubby and I stayed a long weekend for our anniversary. Beautiful fall foliage visible through the immense windows and it was so quiet even outside that you could hear a pin drop. We were able to look at the stars while laying in the lovely loft bedroom. Brandan was the most responsive host we have ever had. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed the fire pit and watching the game on the big screen downstairs. We headed into Ludington and had the best BBQ brisket we've ever tasted and enjoyed our walk along the beach. Book your stay, you won't be disappointed!
