Excellent place

This place was very clean and comfortable for our family of 5. We loved the country setting. It is very well equipped including firewood for campfires. We did day trips to the dunes, Leeland, Northport, Frankfort etc. It is an amazing value and we would stay again!

Perfect for a weekend getaway

I agree with all the positive comments about this place. Quite and serene setting, close to Sleeping Bear Dunes, Traverse City, Crystal Mountain. The place is well furnished and Karyn is an awesome host. Karyn's husband even came by to inform us of a bear cub across the street. Plan to stay here again.
