Great getaway

This was a perfect getaway for our family of 4. Cozy and very clean, secluded but very close to Crystal Mountain. Great wifi so our kids could do e-learning all week. Kids loved the bunk beds and air hockey and we all enjoyed being in the yard and making smores every night. We hope to come back!

We really enjoyed our stay

This house is in a truly wonderful location with many fun activities in the area. It sits in a quiet, private wooded area. It is clean, spacious and air conditioned. Our kids were so pleased with the basement and the toys that were provided. The kitchen is clean and had whatever we needed. A washer/dryer would've made this place perfect. We would stay here again.

Perfect cabin in a great location

Fantastic weekend getaway. We chose this log home mainly for its location, and it did not disappoint. Although we were maybe a week early for peak colors, it was still beautiful. Im pretty picky about the places we stay, and the Cabin was exactly what we were looking for. From early pre trip contact with Amy, through final checkout i cant say enough good things about the host or the stay. Privacy, location, authentic log home, what more can you ask for. The biggest issue we had was not wanting to leave 🙂. We will surely return.

Beautiful Cabin in the Woods

The driveway leads you into the woods to a beautiful secluded cabin! Very clean, comfortable beds, front and back porches for morning coffee. You won’t be disappointed. My grandkids loved playing air hockey, the adults loved it too. We loved how centrally located it was. We spent a day at Sleeping Bear Dunes, went kayaking on platt river, picked cherries in Traverse City. We also rode the Alpine Coaster, and went putt putt golfing. We were able to sit by the fire at night and enjoyed making s’mores Amy was wonderful at responding quickly to any concerns we had. We checked in very late at night and Amy had the lights turned on for us which helped a lot. We live in Tulsa Ok and this was our first log cabin experience. We will definitely be back to stay in the beautiful cabin in the woods.
