We really loved the peacefulness and isolation of the cabin. I was well furnished and clean. My wife and her friend had plenty of room to set up their scrapbook workstations. I went skiing at Caberfae Peaks and Crystal Mountain.

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. Did your friend receive his charger ? Hope to see you soon
We love this cabin! We have rented multiple times, however this was our first winter stay. Snow was beautiful and the cabin was very cozy. Dogs are always very happy here. Thanks again to Brian - he is a very responsive and caring host.
Great stay, wonderful piece of property, right between Crystal and Caberfae for skiing. Id say the only negative was a can opener that didnt work well, but they had two! Easy communication with the owners.
We have stayed at this cabin a couple of times now. It is a great place if you are into the outdoors and it is very close to the Manistee river Trail. We are always happy when we stay and Brian is great
A very wonderful place to stay. Quiet, relaxing, and a nice "away from home" setting. Brian was a great and caring host. All the snacks (incuding the dog biscuits/nibbles after kibbles), supplies, and overall furnishings are nice. Would definitely stay again.

It was nice working with you , Thank you for the nice review. Would be glad to have you back for a stay anytime.
Always great staying at this property. I think this was our group's 9th time staying. It was warm and the new central air kept us cool until the temperature dropped at night and we moved out to the fire pit.
Way out there but it was easy to find. Close to Lake MIchigan which was nice. My DOGS LOVED IT!!! Had everything you needed. Going to go earlier next year because it rained for the majority of our stay.

It was nice talking with you. Sorry about the rainy weather, but it's hit and miss with the weather. Let me know when you're thinking of the next visit. I can give you the repeat visit discount.
We enjoyed this getaway connecting with nature and family members in the area. It was vital for us that we find a dog-friendly property and this was. Great communications from the owner as well. We would definitely consider staying again if we are ever in the area again (fingers crossed).
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home on the beautiful property! I spent much time out on the porch, just relaxing and taking in the views and drinking coffee! Homeowner is very kind and personable as well. I highly recommend this home for your home away from home!
We had such a lovely time at the cabin! The dogs loved it too! The kitchen was well equipped and we were very pleased with the Keurig and availability of some staples (oil, salt, etc). It was quiet, clean and comfortable. Just what we needed!
Our group of old friends look forward every summer to a stay at this property and some canoeing on the Big Manistee. It's a great property for our group who likes getting away from our urban lives and enjoying nature.
