Property was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Owner communication was very responsive. Very quiet retreat overlooking the Betsie River. Deck was our favorite part and plenty of room with tables and chairs to accommodate everyone. Cabin had a great "up north" feel to it and plenty of room with all utensils that we needed. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us!

This place was great for our big family. Plenty of bedrooms and beds. Three bathrooms were great. Kitchen was well stocked even though we didn’t cook anything. We just ate our breakfast there. The only problem we had was our GPS said we arrived but it was the property before the one we needed. Also the address numbers by the road had one number missing. All in all a great place. Just know you are not close to anything such as gas stations and stores.

Fantastic Location

Rebecca is wonderful to work with--she's very responsive and helpful. This was our second stay in the cabin and we'd love to make it an annual tradition. The cabin is spacious, well-stocked and very well-maintained. The location is wonderfully quiet and feels secluded.

Sibling stay

Area was very quiet and relaxing. Kitchen dishes etc were more than adequate. Even had a crockpot for our use! Beds were comfortable. Only issue we had was the lack of a gas grill. Overall, pleased with our stay

Great location and very clean

Host was very responsive and quick with answers to my questions. Property was very clean and well supplied. The 4 bedrooms were perfect for our 2 families of 4 plus grandparents. Kids had fun swimming in the river. Great proximity to crystal mountain and sleeping bear dunes. The temps were in the mid 80’s and muggy with out much breeze so the upstairs bedrooms were quite warm at night. We really appreciated the numerous fans. No A/C. Overall it was a perfect house for our stay.

Perfect tucked away place

Beautiful home! It was so much more than we expected. Beautiful interior with so much interest. For a larger group nice features were an entry where extra items could be placed and then there was another area for extra stuff. We have stayed in many vacation rentals and this home is top of list of you are looking for a remote relaxing location. Our kids tubbed down the river!

This cabin exceeded our expectations. There were so many thoughtful amenities and the whole place was designed for a great stay. We had a rainy weekend and were actually happy that it gave us an excuse to stay at the cabin rather than go to the beach.

Our stay was so nice! The iron fish distillery is a mile away. It’s secluded with the beautiful river with easy access to the river. Location is great if you don’t want to stay in Sleeping Bear Dunes or Traverse but want to enjoy those locations for a day trip.

We absolutely loved staying here. The cabin was beautiful, clean, well stocked. All 14 of us women slept comfortably. The property with the beautiful river was so peaceful. Close to fun places including Frankfort, the beach and Ironfish. Communication with Rebecca was great, she responded so quickly when we had a question!

Nice Cabin in good location

The property was nice and communication with the owner was very good. We have stayed at other similar properties in the area and although we did have a good stay, I will add the following: When we arrived, several of our guests had driven to Michigan from Pennsylvania that day. When we arrived and went to start dinner, we uncovered the grill and saw it was a charcoal grill which is a first for us. We like using charcoal, but there wasn't any available there, or charcoal lighter. Not knowing the area, off we went in search or charcoal on a Sunday evening. The Hardware was closed, and after doing some searches, we found a Dollar store, and 2 hours after trying to grill, we were in business. I sent an email to the owner, and she responded that it says this in their property description, which it didn't. Then, later that evening when we went to have a campfire and we walked over to the wood pile, it had a sign that we could not use their wood!!! We have cords of wood at our property piled up, and again, if we had known this, we would have brought our own. at this point, it was too late to run out, and we decided that we would not use the fire pit and do a wood supplier search for the rest of the trip. These items are provided at every other rental that we have had. Believe it or not, there are people that do not know how to use a charcoal grill properly and not to have a gas grill is not a good decision. Lastly, if you are old like us, know that the stairs to the river are long
