The fire stick TV was constantly interrupted by Alexa telling you that there was motion at front door and side door of someone else’s home. Difficult to watch tv bc of interruptions. The box spring on mattress was old a squeaky when you got out of bed to use restroom. Kinda of overpriced but I could afford to pay so just an observation. Well stocked kitchen with the basics. The well pump should be put on its own circuit bc when it runs the bathroom lights blink. Overall lighting inside poor. Furniture ok but couldn’t sit on futon.

We had an awesome family trip in the Manistee area at this cabin! Their cabin is very clean, and has nice modern upgrades alongside lots of woodwork.and neat decor. It's very relaxing nestled in the woods. My kids really loved time around the camp fire.
