My husband and I had a wonderful stay here. The setting is lovely and very quiet and the place was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and pleasant. Amenities were thoughtful and user-friendly. Directions were very clear and accessing the home and the check-out process were easy. John responded quickly to any messages. I’d love to return and will be recommending this place to friends. Thanks to John for a great stay!

My Daughter and I go on trips up north every year, sometimes twice a year. We have stayed many places. This stay was great close to a lot of things we wanted to do. St Ambrose Cellars is our favorite stop and it was close by.

The photograph show the exterior and interior of an additional guest cabin. But she don’t have access to that. It’s a bit deceiving. Also bring your own trash bags.

Thank you so much for the review. We apologize, for some reason there is a very old description on VRBO and it doesnt have the blurb that the sleeping cabin is available for an extra fee. We provide garbage bags for our guests, this was an oversight and we have discussed it with our cleaner. Thanks so much for staying with us and hope to host you again. Happy Summer!

This was our second stay here. It’s quiet, isolated in the woods, but close to Platte lake public access, river float rental, nice Lake Michigan beaches, and trails in sleeping bear dunes national seashore. The Manatou restaurant is right down the road, and downtown Frankfort is about 20 minutes away. The king bed is comfortable, the kitchen small but functional, the air conditioning works great, and it’s dog friendly! Check in/out is easy, and the host is responsive to inquiries.I would stay again if we are back in the area.

This place is an absolute gem. The kitchen is so stocked with spices and cooking stuff. The beds are super comfy and clean. The bathroom is huge and spotless. The location is so private and wooded. Everything is ideal. It's a short drive to the lighthouse for amazing sunsets, to the dunes for hiking and sight seeing. 10/10 recommend.

This property was perfect for our long weekend. The cabin was exceptionally clean with all the amenities we needed. The kitchen was well stocked with all the dishes, pots, pans, utensils etc that we needed to cook all our meals. It was cold and rainy outside one day to warrant trying the fireplace, which warmed the cabin up in no time. Extremely pleased with our stay and looking forward to coming back!
