About this property

Enjoy a true Up North experience at Good Times in the Pines. Our cabin is located on a beautiful wooded 5 acres but close to snowmobile trails, ski hills, restaurants, golf courses, wineries, beaches, and shopping. The interior of the home has been completely renovated, all new furniture, beds, and bedding, and features a fully stocked kitchen.

***New 6 Person Hot Tub!

On the main level of the home you will find a fully stocked kitchen (Crate and Barrel dishes, servers, and glassware), island with two bar stools, four seat dining table, living room with 86 inch internet TV, master bedroom with king bed, full bathroom (shower), and laundry room. Upstairs features the second bedroom with a king bed, desk, and recliner, full bathroom (shower/tub combo), and third bedroom with two queen beds and desk. This third bedroom is open to the stairs and you pass by it to enter the second bedroom so it is great for children or people who do not mind a loft style sleeping arrangement.

Outdoor seating includes two rocking chairs, two stationary chairs, and two zero gravity chairs on the upper deck near the Blackstone Grill and a six seat dining table on the lower deck. The back patio features a new Hot Tub and outdoor kitchen and bar. The backyard features a fire pit with ten seats and fully stocked wood shed. Yard games include Cornhole, Ringo, Jenga, and Kubb.

The walk out basement includes a bar (sink, full size fridge, ice, coffee maker, microwave), 4 bar stools, pool table, wood stove, couch and 86 inch internet TV. The other side of the basement features an additional queen bedroom, full bathroom (shower), and 2 desks. Indoor activities include Puzzles, cards, and board games. Speakers for music are provided in basement and living room.

Starlink Internet - very fast and can be used for video calls. Dog friendly! We love dogs and provide bowls, towels, treats, and bags. Please do not leave your dog unattended in the home or bring a kennel.

We designed and furnished this home so that it will be ideal for guests who need to work remotely (4 desks) and guests who want to cook more elaborate meals and spend time together enjoying the home and property.

Our family stayed at this lovely home last weekend as a meet-up spot for siblings, and we had such a nice time! The house had enough beds for everyone, there was plenty of space to congregate together, the kitchen was fully stocked with nice dishes and utensils, and the outdoor area was perfect for yard games and campfires. It was exactly what we needed, and the cleanliness was superb! Will definitely be back!

Clean, comfortable, well-appointed place 15 min from Highlands/Nub's

Had a fantastic time staying here for a ski weekend with family, and would happily stay again in the future. Place was clean and comfortable for 2 families w/children, plus a pet. The host was responsive via messages regarding any questions, and we didn't run into any problems.

Family fun

The property was perfect for our family with different ages and needs. The houze itself has everythinf you need for entertaient and comfort. It is also near enough to Mackinaw that we did a day trip to the island and to Petoskey beach and local hikes. Would recommend this place to anyone : )

Kristen and Rich live in Chicago but spend as much time in Michigan as possible! Our favorite restaurant is Michael's Tavern in Indian River, favorite bar is Beaches in Pellston, favorite summer activity is cruising down the Crooked or Indian River in our pontoon, favorite winter activity is snowmobiling. We hope you enjoy Good Times in the Pines!

Why they chose this property

We have always been interested in the vacation rental business and in February 2022 we closed on Good Times in the Pines! For the next 4 months the chalet underwent extensive renovations including all new landscaping, finished basement, and entertainment space in the back yard. We designed this space so that it has everything guests need to have a relaxing and fun experience. We love this home and hope that you and your family or friends have a blast on your vacation!
