It was the perfect spot for a weekend getaway. It was so quiet and peaceful out there in the country, yet close enough to town to venture in and take in the sights. Jane was very quick to respond when we reached out to her. We would definitely consider renting this cabin again.
We had a great time. This neat little cottage is extremely clean and tidy. It has everything you could possibly need. It is located in a very beautiful area. The owners are very kind and responsive.
Cute little cabin, just the perfect size for the two of us and our puppy. It is a perfect little getaway spot with lots of nature. The owners were very friendly.
Thornwood cabin was super cozy for my husband and me for a weekend getaway. Convenient location to get to Lansing, boat ramp, gas stations, etc. But secluded enough to enjoy the scenery (even heard a male turkey gobbling behind the house the day we left). We are already planning our next trip and plan to use Thornwood cabin in the future.
