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. To access property we recommend AWD or 4-wheel drive in the winter months as snow and ice are unpredictable (even though we keep the road plowed). A Friendly Reminder: We’re located in beautiful Northern Michigan, where the weather can be unpredictable in any season. High winds, heavy snow, or summer storms can occasionally cause power outages due to our wooded location. We do have a small generator available for essential needs, but we encourage guests to be prepared for the possibility of temporary outages and to embrace the adventure of Up North living!

What a great little place. Such a quiet escape from downstate and so convenient for exploring Hartwick Pines. It was a very clean, comfy, and well kept cabin!
Our second trip to this cabin and just as wonderful as the first. Very clean and the right amount of space for us and our dog. It's quiet and secluded which is perfect for a getaway and the nearby state park has access to some nice and short trails. We'll definitely be back in the future.
We were pleased to find the cabin very clean and comfortable. It's nestled back in the woods on a dirt dead end road with only 1 full time neighbor. Very quiet! The beds upstairs were clean and very comfortable. The a/c downstairs kept us cool and the fans upstairs helped (along with the cool nights and big windows opened). The cabin located close to shopping and restaurants in Grayling to Gaylord. Lots to do in this area with rivers and lakes nearby. We hope to rent again next summer.
Such a great place! Clean, homey, smells welcoming and while we only used one bed it was very comfortable. Everything needed was provided. So quiet and peaceful! Perfect relaxing get away. Definitely recommend! Owner is quick to respond. We will absolutely be back soon!
We had a wonderful stay. The property is picturesque and the cabin/barn is extremely romantic. We loved the experience and look forward to another stay in the future. Every star is well earned!
We had a very relaxing and enjoyable weekend at this cabin. It had such a cozy atmosphere both inside and out. The host was also very responsive to a few questions we had when settling in. We highly recommend this cabin for a quiet weekend away, and look forward to returning in the future!
Great getaway for the family with two dogs to roam the property and spend time outdoors. Everything about the property from cleanliness to check in to amenities was perfect. Would love to stay again!
This was our 2nd stay, and we can’t wait to come back for a 3rd! This cabin and location is the perfect space to relax and recharge. Thank you for a great weekend, I cannot recommend bonfire holler enough!
The cabin is exactly as the pictures shown. Relaxing, clean and easily accessible. Kyle gets right back with you when needed. Would definitely stay again!
