About this property

Bonfire Holler Cabin

Live your life by a compass not a clock. Find your way to Bonfire Holler where you can unplug and relax. Cozy cabin on 20 acres (occasional neighbor across the road) where you can enjoy snowmobiling in the Gaylord/Grayling area or ATV riding in the Frederic area. Only 10 mins from Hartwick Pines State Park with camping, hiking trails and cross country skiing. Or cross country skiing and snowshoeing just a couple miles away at Forbush Corner. 20 min drive from Treetops Resort in Gaylord.

There are two bedrooms upstairs, each with a queen bed. The living room on the main floor has a sofa sleeper.
Supplies: we leave coffee, paper towel, garbage bag (s), and toilet paper to get you started: if you’re there for an extended stay you may want to bring more.
Pets are allowed we just ask that they stay off the furniture; there is plenty of room for dogs to run around the 10 acres. Please disclose if you are bringing a pet as there is a small cleaning fee.

We have a large driveway, please park on the gravel not the grass.
Fire pit: you can use any brush you find, but bring wood.
Charcoal grill: bring charcoal.

A door lock code will be provided when you book. There is a surveillance camera monitoring the front door/drive. (No cameras/devices inside cabin).

There is one seasonal neighbor in the area.
Camp Grayling is located near I-75 where at times they have trainings (check their FB page for schedules as you can occasionally hear planes/booms in the distance).

We don’t allow extra guests without a reservation (no camping tents/RVs).

We ask that pets be kenneled if left at cabin while guests are not there.

Comfortable and Clean

The cabin is very adorable and situated on a nice piece of property. It was a hot Michigan weekend but the AC unit did an admirable job though I will say to be prepared for the upstairs bedrooms to be warmer. It didn't affect us too much and there are plenty of fans to help. There's plenty to do on the property and in the area to keep you busy and it's just a very pleasant place to stay with the amenities you need to unplug for a few days.

Excellent Property - Very Clean

This cabin in the woods is private with plenty of outside space to enjoy. The first thing you notice when you open the door is cleanliness. The cabin even smelled really clean, which was a welcome experience based on some other rentals.I hope to be able to return for a future vacation.

Perfect!

We had a wonderful trip, the snow was deep and our gracious host came out to plow the drive for us before we got there! The pellet stove kept us toasty and we enjoyed the games and backyard snowball fights when we weren’t skiing. Wonderful visit and will return!

Relaxing cabin vacation

Was such a nice break from city life. The snowfall one morning of our stay outside of the cabin windows was a highlight. Our dog loved running around and yard and exploring the woods. The pellet stove kept the cabin warm and comfortable, with relatively minor inconvenience . We would love to come back and stay again!

Wonderful cabin

Although I had to cut our trip short due to an emergency, I was still able to enjoy and appreciate the stunning cabin and the local area. I cannot wait to go back and finish exploring. The host was an angel. I have nothing but great things to say.

Bonfire Holler is a wonderful little cabin in the woods outside of Frederic, Michigan. There’s plenty of things to do in the area, and if the weather were bad, there was lots to do in the cabin and on the property. No worries about forgetting things at home as the cabin is well-equipped with cooking/baking supplies. Beds were comfortable - we were a little worried about being too hot sleeping upstairs, but the fans and cross-breezes made it quite comfortable and having a half-bath upstairs was great if there was a need to “go” in the middle of the night. Water temperature and flow was excellent - some places don’t get you both. The long tie-out from the porch was also a plus for letting the dog roam while we relaxed, but stay close enough to keep an eye out and we didn’t need to worry about chasing after our pup. The property is really quiet except for the birds and frogs at night. We saw deer and rabbits, but not one other person or car go down the road. It was fantastic!

Beautiful cozy cottage

Perfectly located for any season activity. This is a gem. Well cared for, very clean, cute, cozy, comfortable. We were on snow shoes everyday in the woods. Quiet quaint and snuggly warm at night filled with games and laughter. There is a lot of care an attention given to this cottage by the owners.

Amazing place

We came up for a family wedding on the Manistee river. We were expecting an average cabin for the weekend, we got more than expected. There was shampoo/soap and even kids soap I’m the shower. Full kitchen with fridge water and ice. The sheets are amazing. I will be ordering a set or two. We will most likely be in contact to rent again for a weekend!

Lovely cabin in a nice location!

My family and I enjoyed our experience at Bonfire Holler! From the moment we first walked in, we couldn’t get over how cute the cabin was and all the amenities it had to offer. They even had a treat waiting for our pup! Our only negative experience was the lack of air conditioning in the upstairs bedrooms - the listing stated there would be a unit so we were disappointed about that. They do have a nice unit in the main floor, though. The week we stayed, the highs were in the 80s/90s so it was very problematic for sleeping upstairs, especially with our infant daughter. The hosts kept in good communication with us, though, which helped immensely. Overall, we enjoyed the cabin and its location.

The location was definitely relaxing, you’re basically in the middle of the woods. The tree-lined path to the property was beautiful. The cabin is cute and has everything you would need. Everything was clean. The pellet heater was super cozy, and it felt like we had a fireplace. We spent a lot of time hiking in the woods. Great experience overall.

Great Hideaway!

We love staying at Bon Fire Holler. It's away from a lot of other houses and close to trails so we can ride our Jeep and enjoy nature. There was a couple problems but the owner quickly took care of them. His communication was excellent.
