Perfect cottage getaway for two!
Absolutely loved this gem of a place. It looks like a dollhouse. It is perfect for a couple. The location is ideal for Sleeping Bear Dunes, Leelanau Peninsula, Manistee, beach, etc. We are already looking for dates for a return visit.

Fantastic Family Trip.
The four of us had a wonderful time. The cabin was clean and secluded. Wonderful time for the family.
Terrific northern location close to many beautiful Michigan hiking trails and scenic lookouts. Sweet little cabin tucked next to a babbling brook that is quite enchanting.
I booked this property because it had a fireplace, when we arrived the fireplace did not work we contacted the property management they said they would create a ticket and then they explained how to turn it on again via text which is exactly how we did it and it didn’t work. The property we dirty, dust and dirt on the chair rails, ceiling fans, and furniture, popcorn was still on the carpet, mouse droppings next to fridge and sink. The first night we stayed we were woken up by a mouse getting into our groceries we bought. Garbage in the woods by the property. We were very disappointed with the quality of our stay and condition of the property we paid for.

Great hideaway getaway
Perfect spot for getting away from the city. Great accommodations and lovely locals. Bring your own bathroom towels as they shed a lot and beware of the rodent problem.

Great
Great location if you’re looking to feel secluded but still not very far lots of cute towns.
The view from the backyard was amazing. Listening to the creek was so peaceful. Short stay, would come back!!

Great location...but
The location was great, kind of in the middle of different things we wanted to do. Whoever is in charge of this specific property has zero communication with us and we did have a couple issues that needed addressed, but would probably stay again, just bring my own towels. Also there were things not working that we let VACASA know, just never got help with anything.

Secluded hideaway
This location was perfect for our annual sister weekend trip. The loft bed was one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in! The deck out back was AMAZING! The bubbling brook, the wildlife, barely any traffic on the road…it was quiet and quaint and had everything we needed…if we ever venture to Arcadia again I would choose this place to stay.
