About this property

Cute cabin in our private woods, close to a bike trail, winery, and lakes

You won't be disappointed in this cute cabin designed with red, white, and blue decor. This cabin is nestled in our woods for your privacy. Enjoy the Leelanau County right in your backyard. If you are seeking an escape from the stresses of everyday life, you have chosen the right place.

You will enter the driveway from the main road, which will take you back to the cabin. This cabin will indeed be your home away from home. The cabin has a fully equipped kitchen, handmade furniture, accents, and a king-size bed. You can open the door onto a relaxing screened-in porch from the living room. Relax in the comfy chairs, admiring the quietness of the woods. Or sit in our swing and sip your favorite beverage, read a book, or relax. You may see some wildlife that will pass by during your stay. Take a bottle of complimentary wine and sip it outside on the patio, sitting on our cute bistro set. You can also relax at night by the fire table on the outside patio deck.

The cabin is convenient for many activities, restaurants, and beaches. The bike path is located approximately 1/2 mile from the cabin location. Traverse City and Suttons Bay are nearby. The nearest local winery is a short 2-minute drive north, deeper into Leelanau Peninsula wine country.

Whether you desire comfortable solitude while remaining in the cabin or prefer exploring the unique sites and activities the area offers, we assure you that you will have a wonderful time.

Terry and Beth were incredible hosts, and our stay at their adorable Americana Cabin was absolutely perfect! The place was super clean, and had tons of little extras included to help us enjoy our stay even more. They provided us some fresh eggs from their chickens, and were very accommodating and helpful. The property and trails on it were so great to walk, and we loved how private it was. 10/10 recommend!

Everything about our stay was excellent. The cottage is very clean, and well stocked. The location put the bike paths, wineries and downtown Traverse City within easy access. The property is so private and peaceful we actually preferred bringing our wine back and enjoying it in the screened patio as we watched the deer in the woods. We will be back. We left some of the trails on the property unexplored. We have been renting through Vrbo for years now and Beth and Terry are the best hosts we have ever worked with. Thank you for sharing your property!

Our week stay at this wonderful cabin , completely surrounded by the woods was near perfect. The cabin was clean beyond compare; we were able to cook our simple breakfasts and dinners daily in the well equipped kitchen. The updated decor and warmth of the of the cabin itself was great to come back to after our days' outings.Beth, as host, was easy to reach and was quickly responsive to any questions or needs that arose. My friend and I have stayed in many cabins each summer, somewhere in the US and Canada, in the last 35 years, and we both agreed that that our 'little cabin' last week, was head and shoulders above them all.In gratitude and appreciation,Mary & April

This was our second time staying in one on their cabins. The cabin was very clean and well cared for. The location is so quiet and a great place to take a walk. The outdoor firepit was awesome on a chilly night. The extras of wine, pancake mix, and syrup was unexpected but so thoughtful. We plan to rent one of their cabins again.

About the host

Hosted by Terry and Beth

Host profile image
Terry and Beth have been married for over 20 years. Terry was born and raised right here in Leelanau County in the property adjacent to the cabin entrance. Beth grew up in Charlevoix, MI, and was raised on a dairy farm. They met in Traverse City and decided to make their permanent home in beautiful Leelanau County, close to where Terry grew up. They both have a love of nature and the outdoors.

Why they chose this property

It has been Terry and Beth's dream to share the beauty of their property with others, and this has given them the opportunity to do so. This is a must-see and stay cabin if you want to relax in nature while staying close to many activities, wineries, breweries, and restaurants.

What makes this property unique

Nestled in the woods and close to the " TART " bike trail. It is also conveniently located close to a winery and Traverse City.
