Thanks Wayne! I just wanted to make sure to let people know the reason you rated it a 4 vs. 5 was due to the lake being shallow, but you thought the accommodations were good. Correct?

This cabin was perfect for our weekend get away. The cabin was clean, the beds were very comfortable. The location was close to Traverse City,Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Cadillac. We loved sitting outside on the deck and down by the lake. Plenty of outdoor furniture and equipment for lake activities. The bunkhouse was a wonderful bonus. This was a great place to stay!!

Family-friendly, lots of space for the kids to run around and enjoyed the paddle boats and other water equipment included in rental. There was a lot of kitchenware, it was comfy and cozy and made you feel like you were home. Our only negative is we wish the beds were bigger as some adults on the trip were about 6 feet and a queen bed was a little small for them. We really enjoyed our stay and quick communication from host.

Thank you so much for your feedback Angie. Angie is right, the cabin is the original log cabin on the lake. I have to go to the museum and find some cool information on it. Thank you Angie for being such a great renter. Hope to see you again some time soon.

This was a nice cabin on the lake. The owner was great and was very fast with any problems. The microwave died and she had a new one there right away. I've stayed at alot of vrbo houses this was one of the best owners I've had. She is very concerned about you having a good time.
