Great place!

The property was beautiful and well maintained. The kitchen was the most complete of any place I have rented. I could not have asked for more. We had 8 people stay here very comfortably. The fire pit area was perfect and the creek running near the house added an incredibly relaxing vibe any time that you sat on the porches.

Comfortable and scenic - loved it!

We had 8 people, ages 7 to 70, and the cabin worked out great for everyone. The cabin has plenty of space, it is clean and well-organized, with all the amenities we needed. The location is lovely - secluded in the woods by a peaceful stream - but still easy enough to get to Glen Arbor, Leland, and Maple City. There are so many things to do nearby, we really needed another week or more. Hoping to come back again!

Fall colors

We were there at a perfect time at peak color and with beautiful weather. The location is very private and right by a beautiful creek. We spent lots of time on the porches enjoying the view and the water sounds. Inside was great with bathroom on each of the 3 floors and bedroom or two on each. This was really nice for us to be able to spread out as we wanted. House is well-equipped and very clean. We plan to come back!

Perfect Michigan Cabin

Everything you need/want in a vacation home! We love staying at the cabin on the creek and will definitely be back again. The home has everything you need, is in a beautiful, secluded setting, and close access to some of the best Lake Michigan beaches. Added plus that it is dog friendly in every way! Our only tip is to bring a mattress topper if you aren’t a fan of hard (like rock hard) mattresses haha. Other than that—10/10!
