The little red cabin was great for our Labor Day weekend getaway! We needed a place that was pet friendly and this was the only one we could find in the area. The host was very quick to respond to any questions we had. I would love to stay here again one day!

Convenient location and cute cabin

Cabin was perfect for our stay. Has everything you need, clean, hosts communication was amazing. Cabin is small but perfect for a group for 2-4 adults. Hosts let us bring our dog, too. Would def stay again.

Absolutely darling little red cabin. Excellent instructions for stay, check in & check out.So many extra touches including firewood & S’mores. Extremely clean, you don’t need a thing. Our Aussie loved the big yard & trees for shade. Hope to stay again. Thank you!

Perfect little cabin for 5 night vacation

The Little Red Cabin was absolutely perfect for three of us to stay for five nights on our annual trip to Michigan. The cabin is in a perfect location for access to Pine River. It was super clean and stacked with everything you would need for a summer trip (coffee, s’mores supplies, grill, firewood, etc.). We drank coffee every morning on the porch and enjoyed the fresh air and quiet. My only comment is that the shower is standard for a little cabin - meaning that it is small. If you are a bigger person this may be a challenge for you. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back at the little red cabin in the future!

Little Red Cabin in the Forest

We had a lovely long weekend at the little red cabin. David was very responsive to questions and gave helpful suggestions when he couldn't help us directly. The cabin is well-stocked and comfortable. Our elderly dog did have some problems navigating the 3-4 steps between the kitchen/bedrooms and living area. Others with mobility issues should make a note of this. The neighborhood was secluded and mostly pretty quiet. It was a pleasure to get away Up North in Michigan for a few days and to use the little red cabin as our base.
