A beautiful retreat in the woods

This is a unique stay with a deep family history. My wife and I loved staying here. It was quiet and very peaceful...a perfect get away! The owner who built the house, cabin and sheds was an incredible host who made himself available and was both helpful and a pleasure to talk to. We look forward to going back!

Five Star Rave

Our family Fall Getaway in Hughthir’s lovely place was one of THE BEST experiences we’ve had in a VRBO—setting, property, home feng sui, convenient location (between our beloved Empire and the activity of Traverse City) and Hughthir’s hospitality ALL converged for this “rave review”.!

Perfection!

Our second visit was even better than the first! From the peaceful surroundings with lots of wildlife to Hughthir’s excellent ability to be available but not intrusive to the feeling of peace one gets when immersed in architectural greatness this place doesn’t disappoint.

Northern Michigan gem

We love Michigan, live here and travel north often. To find this place was a gift. Hughthir was a great host and was in constant communication with us regarding our stay. The drive into this property is breathtaking, the house/cabin is quaint and peaceful with a lot of rich history. One morning I saw a bald eagle fly over the lake it overlooks. You step back a bit when visiting this “rustic” property. It was built with care and our family would absolutely recommend this rare find. Thank you, Hughthir! Hope to see you next year!

Beyond peaceful!

My husband and I slept deeply, had a much needed rest, loved the quiet. The house has spectacular architecture, views of the lake and woods from every room. We were able to take some good hikes, visit brew pubs, time at Lake MI, and enjoy the peak of autumn color. Hughthir is kind and generous, enjoyable to talk with . . . Thank you!

Unplug in the woods

This was a beautiful experience for myself and 8 yr old grand daugher. Shes a budding artist. Lol. She loved the cabin which oozed of love and artistic qualities. While we werent out exploring the surrounding areas of Sleeping Bear Dunes attractions, she was engulfed in quietness to work on her arts and crafts non stop. Great bonding for us. I also enjoyed the environment to unplug and read.

Quiet Getaway

Beautiful cabin in lovely surroundings. Hughthir has crafted an amazing cabin, which he graciously shares with the rest of us. All other reviewers have eloquently and accurately described this charming cabin and attuned host. Our stay was a welcome balm during a difficult year.

Another lovely stay

Uniquely comfortable and charming house sited adjacent to a small lake is a wonderful and relaxingly calm place to stay. Hughthir is a relaxed, but prompt and attentive host.

Dreamiest cabin ever

Hughthir is the coolest and went out of his way to make our stay comfortable. We had so much fun chatting with him. The cabin was built for his mother and you can feel the love that went into every detail. The books and records were enjoyable to browse through. Definitely try to arrange a sauna session (the Theragun and essential oils were the perfect touch)! The surroundings were beautiful and peaceful. This cabin was a dreamy and relaxing retreat from the city. We definitely plan to visit again!

Quiet cabin in the woods

We enjoyed a quiet stay at this lovely cabin in the woods. You feel far away from it all but still only about 10 min from Empire and the Sleeping Bear Dunes. It was a great spot for our family. We enjoyed sitting out on the porch amongst the beautiful front garden and taking a short hike down to the lake. We had a peaceful rest and even heard an owl one night! Definitely a great spot to get away in northern MI!

Beautiful home in an idyllic setting

We rented this space for the in-laws and they loved their stay. The setting is beautiful, and the ability to enjoy disconnecting and “unplugging” from the amenities of modern life was lovely.

Handmade Home- Work of Art and Relaxing Retreat

Hughthir is an outstanding host who built this beautiful home with his own hands. The quiet, the garden, the views, the lake, gorgeous master bedroom with Star filled skylights, artistic tiled soaking tub- entirely perfect. How soon can we get back?!

Spectacular Northern Michigan/Leelanau Peninsula Location

My wife and I just spent a fabulous week at this site. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in the secluded and beautiful cabin that was nestled in the woods with it's own private lake. I cannot say enough about the cabin with its many hand crafted features, it's scenic views provided by the windows and sky lights. We enjoyed our privacy but were still close enough for short drives to the many attractions of the Leelanau Peninsula and surrounding area. The cabin was extremely clean upon our arrival and was well appointed to meet all our needs during our stay. Hughthir was a wonderful host and we are already making plans to visit this location in the future.

Amazing get away!! Quaint cabin in the woods. Wonderful family retreat !

What can I say, this property and cabin is breathtaking. I feel so blessed we were able to stay at this beautiful property on Gilbert Lake. As we drove through the lush woods leading up to the cabin we knew immediately that this was the family retreat we were looking for. We definitely hope to stay here again to take in nature’s beauty and surroundings. We enjoyed hiking the path and sitting by the lake listening to the loons and star gazing. The skillful art of carpentry can be found in the many details of the cabin. If you are looking for a slightly rustic getaway in the north woods this is your place. My family gives this cabin 5⭐️‘S!

Breathtaking

Hughthir’s retreat is clearly made with love, full of books and light. Secluded, wooded property with lots of wildlife. There’s a pond you can see from inside, with a deck where you can take your beverage and watch the sun go down. The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped, plenty of pots and pans and staples. At night you can see the stars from the skylight over the bed. Bring an eye mask if you like to sleep in: everywhere you look is a window looking out on trees or a skylight. We also enjoyed the fire pit outside and grilling out on the deck. My parents spent a couple of nights in the sweet guest cabin. Hughthir himself comes and goes, left us to our devices, and was very attentive to requests. Ten minutes’ drive to Sleeping Bear and a short enough drive to other good stuff like lighthouses, shops and restaurants. And farmstands selling asparagus, as it was in season.

Lovely Retreat

My second time here- a wonderful place tucked in the woods, but very convenient to Sleeping Bear and other attractions. Very comfortable, beautifully built. Best-equipped kitchen of anyplace I have rented. Hughthir is very responsive, friendly and helpful. We will be back again!

Incredible stay

The three of us had a lovely cozy weekend at Hughthir’s retreat. The cabin is beautiful and has so many delightful architectural and decorative elements. Everything is gorgeous. The wood stove was cozy — lit by Hughthir for our arrival — was so nice and the sauna was fantastic our second night. If you’re thinking of visiting, you absolutely shouldn’t hesitate! We can’t wait to return.

Great place to stay

Had a great time celebrating our anniversary. Weather was not the best but we made the best of our time enjoying the stay in the quite retreat in the woods house. When weather was decent we enjoyed sleeping bear dunes, hiking trails and visiting other towns around. Hughthir was a great host and thank you for sharing you home!

Perfect Weekend Getaway

We had the pleasure staying at Hughthir's cabin this past weekend, and we were absolutely delighted, not only with his hospitality, but also with the peace and tranquility of the property. The cabin feels secluded, and we were able to truly relax and unwind. The wood burning stove and record player were especially charming. We loved the sauna option as well and would highly recommend. We look forward to coming back in the future!
