Tranquil cabin

Quaint rustic cabin in the woods with easy access to Interlochen, TC, and everything else the NW area of mitten has to offer. Wonderful, serene inland lake that’s a quick walk from the cabin to chill on the deck.

Just like the old days!

The cabins reminded us of the ones we vacationed at a long time ago. It was great! Our dog had a wonderful time by the lake. Good location to a couple restaurants and Tom's Market for groceries. Highly recommend if you want to just kick back and enjoy the simple life. We'd go again.

Wonderful getaway!

My husband and I stayed in the Birch cabin, which is dog friendly so we were able to bring our pup on his first vacation! We had so much fun hanging out, playing games, and having bonfires. It’s a great location and a short drive to downtown traverse city, as well as all the breweries and wineries Michigan has to offer! We had so much fun we even decided to stay an extra night. Becky was quick to respond to any questions we had during our stay. We will definitely be back!
