Our stay was wonderful! Had a mix of warm days and cooler with rain and the cabin kept us comfortable throughout it all. It was the perfect size for our crew, plenty of beds for all. The kids enjoyed the card games and swingset. Our host was quick to communicate with us and was very kind. This is our first time renting a vacation spot and this experience makes us excited to rent again!

Great Cabin

Great cabin tucked away in the woods. It was perfect for our canoeing weekend on the Pine River, and very close to the takeout at Low Bridge. Couldn't have asked for a better place for a guys weekend up north.

Wellston retreat!

This property was clean and inviting when we arrived. We chose this location because we wanted to be close to our family, but still maintain our own space. This location is only about 25 minutes from Manistee, and a couple minutes from Crystal lake. Perfect location and was a perfect little cabin in the woods.

My Vacation Review

I would highly recommend this vacation home for anyone who wants to get away and still enjoy the "comforts of home". The owners of this home are very accommodating and a pleasure to deal with and they go the "extra mile" to make sure your stay here is very comfortable and enjoyable. Manistee is a great place to go, especially for those who love Michigan and nature.

Loved the location in the property. We went for the weekend to go skiing at Caberfae Peaks. Just a short drive to the slopes. The home was cozy and warm. It was right in the forest and was a nice getaway from the city. Check in and check out was easy and the house was very clean. Perfect size for our group. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was good since we relied on cooking meals at the house. Would stay again and would recommend to friends.
