About this property

Grand Traverse County Cabin in the Woods

Enjoy this cozy cabin in the woods. Nestled in the red pines just minutes from Traverse City. Appreciate all that the seasons have to offer with family and friends. Relax by the outdoor fire pit or enjoy the beautiful lakes nearby. The Northern Michigan night sky offers an amazing view of the Milky Way and even an occasional display of the Northern Lights. Unplug and enjoy the woodlands and when you want to reconnect with the outside world there is wireless internet and a 60" tv, or take time for a game of shuffleboard. Freestanding fireplace gives a relaxing glow while watching the beautiful sunsets. One mile to ORV, snowmobile and equestrian trails. Close to the TART biking and hiking trails, 18 hole disk golf course, lakes, casinos, wineries and shopping. Pets are welcome for a small additional fee.

We had our girls trip and the place was absolutely beautiful, exactly what we was looking for. The host was very accommodating and was blowing off the seats by the fire pit for us when we arrived. He was a very courteous host and they had a lot of extra amenities available.

Excellent stay

Perfect for the family of six we had. Close to everything traverse City and wine country including the sand dunes. Very clean and updated, we only had one night for a bonfire. Wish we had more time at the cabin but we were busy with a wedding. I would recommend for anyone!

We had a wonderful time! We came up for a family getaway. The home and property are beautiful and so peaceful! Wayne and Teri were very kind and great hosts! The kids played in the yard and loved the loft, the pup had plenty to explore and s'more's to end the night! We all wish we could have stayed longer!

Weekend Stay for a Softball Tournament

Our stay was amazing. Wayne and Teri made the entire process simple. They answered all questions super quickly, check-in was as simple as going to the cabin and opening the door (with the keypad). The cabin was cute and clean and had everything we could have possibly needed and way more. My daughter loved the smores' and the fire pit was perfect and all set to use. We would 100% stay here again. We had a great time. The only negative is we were gone for softball a lot and would have enjoyed having more time to hangout in the cabin. Thanks for the great stay.
