Mary is an awesome host, the cabin was idyllic for our needs and the property is very beautiful and peaceful. Great location close to nature and nice small towns around. Would love to be back again soon!
This cabin was perfect for our stay. It's clean, cozy, and in a good location for enjoying Bellaire, Charlevoix, and Petoskey. The host had a firepit all ready for use, but we didn't have time to enjoy that. We would stay here again!
Cabin was wonderful, neat and tidy with all the amenities and rustic cabin feel. No TV was wonderful. Me and my dad sat, listened to the radio talking about the good ole days. Mary is an awesome host.
We so loved our stay in Mary’s cabin.
It is very peaceful place with beautiful gardens and surroundings. The cabin has everything we needed and more, and she was such a gem to spend a bit of our time with. A new favorite place for us…we’ll be back!!
This cozy little cabin was perfect for us. We wished we had more time to walk the property. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to unplug in a peaceful setting.
Mary is an absolute wonderful host. Her cabin is a quaint and beautiful place to be secluded and away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Cabin is conveniently located close enough for day trips to Charlevoix, Boyne City, Petosky, Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, etc. We highly recommend Mary’s cabin.
This was our second time to Mary's cabin and it was once again perfect in every way. The charm of this property is off the charts. Rustic and beautiful. Peaceful doesn't begin to describe the silence that surrounds you at this perfect up north location.
“Personally, I would love to find a little secluded cabin stay for the weekend, put the phones away and just ignore everyone and everything.” - The request of my wife for her birthday weekend. Only stayed 2 nights, but I wish we could have stayed 4 more! This cute, quaint little cabin was absolutely perfect and exactly what we needed. Mary was so sweet, super helpful and full of info/recommendations of things to do around the area. The cabin was spotless and had everything we needed for a perfect weekend. If you need a place to reset and recenter, away from the loud hustle and bustle of every day life, look no further!
For us, this was a perfect blend of modern conveniences and old fashioned rustic pioneer life. It was like going back in time to a much simpler, slower time and way of life. Yet it has running water, shower, toilet, stove, oven, and gas logs. We had a wonderful time, and would love to stay there again.
Nice old cabin near a farm house and barn out in the country. The gardens and woods offer a nice walk, the cabin stayed cool inside even when it was 89F outside. All the equipment worked great, nice and comfortable. A+

Beautiful, peaceful, friendly proprietor.
What perfect way to spend a cozy winter weekend! We fell in love with this little cabin the moment we stepped inside. It was everything we were looking for and much more! Mary is the best, so welcoming and friendly. The cabin was warm and inviting and kept us toasty warm even when the outside temperature dipped down to -22 degrees. We just left this morning and I'm already planning our next visit.

So glad you enjoyed the peace of the cabin and the cold temps! At -22, there is no better place to be than wrapped in a warm cozy cabin in the north woods!.
This was our third stay at the cabin, and it was such a treat to hear bird calls and the wind in the trees instead of horns honking and highway noise. Mary was, as always, a pleasure to chat with and so welcoming. The surrounding area is amazing for wildlife. We hiked Jordan River Valley and our new favorite, Grass River Natural Area, as well as Glacier Hills Nature Area. For lunch we discovered a relatively new place called Forx in Elmira, and it is the best food we’ve had up north. We definitely recommend some quiet time at Mary’s cabin as an amazing escape from the world’s troubles.
A great place to have alone time without the hustle and grind of the city. No TV means talk with your loved one or read a book. Area isn’t great for walking around in but little towns near the place are.
