If you like seclusion this is the place. Nice house, with walking trails on property, good location, only 5 minutes from town, 10 minutes from dog friendly beaches, 20 minutes from Manistee. We would stay here again.

Our 2nd time back!
We love this property, as it's now our second time coming. The VRBO ad listing was exactly as described. The house had a few nice changes to the furniture compared to last year. My Mom and my Son equally enjoyed the property as much as myself. We made good use of the trails with our ATV's as well! I'm definitely planning on coming back again for a third time if we can swing it next year. - Ryan Bollerud & family

Not as expected
Wood box for sauna was empty and directions in the booklet were not accurate as to where to find the wood. Finally got ahold of owner through Vrbo and she got someone out there. Be aware that the pet deposit is a fee and even if dogs don’t shed you still have to pay it. Also place sleeps 6 but have to pay additional fee over 3 people even if 4th is a baby. Not happy with the stay since lawn was not cut and also had to ask for more wood for outside fire pit

Lovely Property & Stay
I stayed here for about four nights with my partner and made a somewhat last minute decision to book, but the experience and communication was wonderful. The directions and given explanation was perfect and the home was so nicely maintained, so it felt cozy and away from the world while also so accessible and updated for anyone who doesn't want a "rustic" experience - you could tell Edie's father put so much love and care into the home.

This cabin was perfect! Nice, clean and modern made this a very relaxing place to stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the jacuzzi tub and sauna, with cozy beds and furniture for lounging. Our favorite part was the 30 acres with trails ... not a neighbor in sight! Highly recommended!

Fall Trip
Property was clean. Fall colors were gorgeous . The property amenities failed to work (jetted tub and sauna). Our first night there an alarm went off in a locked room, took over an hour to get the correct code to turn it off. It was a carbon monoxide alarm, we were told to just take the batteries out. Luckily we brought batteries and felt comfortable staying. We did leave a day early due to an abundance of tocks (not the fault of the property owners), but took the fun out of walking the trails.

The house and property were amazing. Spotless, had everything we needed or would want in the kitchen, bathroom, etc. The trails were well kept, beautiful, and just enough up and down to wear us out. lol. Our only negative, is that the internet was a little slow after 5pm each day. If you plan on streaming TV, bring an alternative. I'm sure that is a common issue in this area though. The views more than made up for it!

Great Rental 👍
PRO'S - This property was a great choice for us, being that we wanted privacy as well as trails to ride our ORV's on. The house was amazing and the trails were even better! We would like to rent here again before the home sells (as it's on the market). The house was very clean and the beds and furniture were comfortable. CON'S - The property has 2 bedrooms, not 3 as originally advertised (which wasn't really an issue for us) The main floor (bedroom) has a shower which unfortunately did not work. The downstairs shower worked though. I had to lubricate the main gate lock, as it was quite hard to operate. The main coffee maker didn't work but there was a spare (old style) coffee maker that did work.
