Incredible property! Secluded and very quiet. We loved the "unplugged" time. The home had an open concept that was very relaxing. The welcome basket and note from the host were a very special touch. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for quiet time in nature, away from the internet.

The property was very clean and well stocked. Responses to questions were prompt and accurate. The property is very family friendly. The location is far enough from the beaten path to be very quiet but easy to get to and from.

Peace and relaxation

The surroundings were unbelievably quiet! We’re not even aware of neighbors until we took a drive the next day. The care and thought to the details for comfort was very obvious. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!

20th Anniversary

We loved this place. Perfect escape from the city. Huge firepit with plenty of wood ( enjoyed splitting my own ), yard games, spacious front porch and an awesome kitchen countertop are just a few things we loved. They seemed to have thought of everything!!

Greatest forth in the north

Beautiful home so just peaceful . We have family 17 minutes away we come up every year for the 4th. The only thing I would suggest is spraying for spiders. Over all this home has been one of the best that we have rented.

Peaceful Outdoors Oasis!

We had an incredible stay at The Hollow. With the busyness of life, a quiet getaway was just what we needed to rejuvenate ourselves. The cabin is nestled among the trees down a winding dirt road. It is updated and incredibly clean, but with a rustic edge. We enjoyed a nice cup of coffee on the covered porch and listened to the birds chirp away. We also saw opossums, rabbits, eagles and deer, among other wild life. Plus, we were only 45 minutes from Lake Michigan which made for a lovely little day trip. We will absolutely be back - thank you!

Super cute & cozy

As the very first renters of this property, we can not say enough about how much we loved this place!! Super cute and very cozy with all the amenities. Perfect amount of space to relax, have a campfire, grill out, play corn hole (which was provided) and if the weather turns, you can enjoy a movie (not a huge selection to choose from, but Redbox is available in Cadillac). All in all a great place to get away!! Very quiet and private from the surrounding homes. The host was very responsive and pleasant!! Two thumbs up all around:)

Great fall weekend

Property is brand new and a great choice for an escape to the woods. No WiFi with great outdoor area to enjoy nature away from the bustle of everyday life. Our visit in early oct was just a week or so early for prime fall colors, but still lovely.

Cabin was as nice in real life as in the pictures .

I’ve rented some other cabins that looked a lot better in the pictures than in person. But this little cabin was very nice. It was clean newer looking beautiful wood furniture and came with everything you could want. It even had a croquet set, corn hike and some board games. Nice setting and quiet. I would definitely rent again.

The perfect hideaway

The property looks amazing in the description and photos on the VRBO listing, but that flat presentation pales in comparison to the beautiful, clean and delightful reality that awaits you when you check in and open the door. Right as you walk in, there's a welcome basket and greeting card from the owner. There are easter eggs here and there that charm and delight you. The bed is an alluring cloud that calls to you to catch up on your rest. During the day, blue jays and woodpeckers entertain you, and at night, crickets and frogs gently support your peaceful sleep. Only six miles from Lake City, twenty from Houghton Lake and twenty from Cadillac, there is plenty to see and do within a short ride. If you want to avoid other people, the hosts have provided ample outdoor seating, a croquet set, grilling forks and a fully equipped kitchen. Book this property early, because the competition will get fierce as the word gets out! I'm coming back next summer.
