Cuddling up with a book and a blanket on the deck swing might lull you to sleep!

We absolutely loved our stay! The home is gorgeous and had everything our family needed for a perfect long weekend. The extra touches—Keurig K‑Cups, a s’mores box, a popcorn bar, plus the soaps and lotions—made it feel so welcoming and special.

Great home for our ski trip. Proximity to Highlands was good. Plenty of room for 2 families (12 people). Kids enjoyed the basement game room and the 2nd tv room.

We're so happy you enjoyed our home and everyone had plenty of space! You couldn't have planned for better snow conditions! Please come back anytime!
What an amazing home! Even better than we expected. It was great for our family of 9 traveling to Mackinac Island. It was cozy, clean and had everything we needed!
I have family above and below the bridge we stayed at White Pine Hideaway and spent the weekend together. It was a beautiful property fully stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. I would highly recommend!

This was an amazing home for the 10 of us this week. We couldn’t have asked for more this home is nestled in the woods it’s so quiet yet close to everything We all voted if we go back we would want to stay here again. The owners could not have been easier to reach out to. We all would recommend this home We were lucky enough to have 3 generations together.

This property is absolutely stunning!!! Perfect for families! The seperate spaces upstairs on the lower level are beautiful! The house was very clean, the amenities were stocked well, and easy to find. The hosts were so easy to communicate with, this was a memorial for my Mom and they left me the sweetest little gift, it made me cry that they were so thoughtful!!! My family LOVED staying here! I'd highly recommend to anyone and would absolutely stay here again!!! Tons of toys for the kids, the rooms were cozy and the fireplaces in both living areas, AMAZING!!!Thank you so much Cris & Erin for making our stay so great!

Thank you so much for your amazing review! It was truly an honor to host your family for such a special occasion!!!
My family lives above and below the bridge and this was the perfect place for us to gather for a wonderful holiday get together. The two stove option made for cookie smells upstairs and turkey smells down stairs. We had plenty of space for all of us to enjoy each other without stepping on anyone. The whole family LOVED the game room!!!! We will definitely consider this place in the future.

Theresa, thank you so much for your amazing review! We're so happy you chose our place to be a part of your family's memories! We would be thrilled to welcome you back again and again!
We stayed here with my whole extended family to celebrate my mom’s 70th and our son’s 3rd. Chris and Erin were amazing hosts. They went above and beyond to take care of us. The home was clean and comfortable with several wonderful touches such as smore supplies for the fire pit, little kid toys, and the game room. Chris and Erin even asked our mom’s favorite flower and got her an arrangement of those for our arrival. Great communication all around- if you’re considering staying here, it’s a great choice.

We are beyond happy to hear that your family loved the space and enjoyed their special days! We love having a small part by adding little personal touches - time with loved ones is priceless! Thank you for the amazing review, and thank you for choosing our place! Please come back any time!!!
We love traveling and have stayed at countless short term rentals. We draw on this experience to help make your stay unique and special. Our goal is for White Pine Hideaway to become a family tradition that you come back to year after year!
Why they chose this property
We love the secluded feel of the property, yet it is close to everything! It sits smack dab in the middle of all the best towns and all of the activities. Spend the day out and about, then come home to a peaceful retreat!
What makes this property unique
Our property is truly unique - it is the perfect place for families and large groups. Finding a place to stay where everyone can be together, and also have their own space is like winning the lottery! You won't find beds piled on top of beds here, or actual beds in the living room. Additionally, having 2 full kitchens really helps with preparing meals for large groups. You are literally getting 2 homes for the price of 1! The basement houses the game room, and the outdoor decks have lounging and eating areas - everyone can spread out, or be together!
