About this property

CABIN sleeps 6 Perfect location between Manistee & Ludington

Our 1940's era log cabin sits under a canopy of pines and hardwood trees on N. US 31 just a 10 minute drive to Manistee, Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness Area, Magoon Creek Nature Area, and 20 minutes to downtown Ludington and Ludington State Park. Our guests love to explore the area during the day and come back and relax by the fire pit in the evening.

The cabin comfortably sleeps 6 and has two private bedrooms, and a loft bedroom. The living room has a TV with Dish cable, and a DVD player. WiFi is not available, but there are plenty of board games and books in the cabin to keep you busy. We encourage our guests to unplug and explore the natural beauty of our area.

The fully equipped kitchen has all the extra essentials needed for an extended stay. A coffee pot, pots, pans, dishes, utensils, crock pot, blender, and kids dishes are included.

The cabin has a propane heater and electric baseboard heat for cold winter nights. Air conditioning and fans are provided for warm weather.

A private deck with a patio table & chairs, fire ring area with 6 chairs, and a gas grill are included. Firewood is available on site for a small fee.

Our convenient location on US 31 allows for a short drive to the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan, and many different rivers and lakes for fishing, canoeing, and kayaking. The Little Manistee River, Pere Marquette River, and Big Sauble River are within a 10 minute drive from the cabin. Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness hiking area, Magoon Creek Nature Area on Lake Michigan, Manistee National Golf Course, Silver Lake Sand Dunes, and Big M Recreational Area are within a few miles of the property. Little River Casino, hiking and biking trails, downhill and cross country skiing, restaurants, craft breweries, farm markets, and wineries are all within a 10-30 minute drive.

Take a day trip north to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Leelenau Peninsula, or Traverse City. Head south for the day to Silver Lake Sand Dunes Rides, Michigan's Adventure Theme Park, or book a fishing charter boat for the day on Lake Michigan.

2 night minimum stay. Wi-Fi is not available, but Verizon and At&t have strong signals. The cabin has a portable air conditioning unit, and it is heavily shaded by many large trees and stays cool during the day. We allow well behaved dogs, max 2, for a fee of $20 PER DOG, PER NIGHT. Dogs must be kept off beds and furniture, kenneled if left unattended in cabin, and on leash at ALL TIMES when outside. No exceptions.

NOTE: Our cabin is located directly on US 31, so there will be road noise in the morning and evening as people travel to and from work. There are 6 other Highway 31 Cabins rental cabins located on the property, but there are no shared spaces. You have the entire cabin and outdoor deck and fire pit area to yourselves.

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE listing description before booking and understand that the cabin was built in the 1940's and is in the woods. If you're looking for a vintage, charming cabin experience, this place is for you! If you are looking for contemporary & modern, there are plenty of other cabin type options around the area to choose from.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Perfect place to come and relax

This is a great rustic cabin that is very cozy and welcoming. We loved being between Manistee and Ludington. We had everything we needed and had fun playing games and being together. Great response time from the owners too.

Location

We were somewhat disappointed in the location of the cabin, we should have looked at the description of the property a little better. We were looking for a quiet cabin in the woods and we were instead located on a very busy highway. The cabin itself and its decor would have been absolutely perfect if it had been located farther into the forest with some trails to explore.

Convenient location, great roomy cabin.

We stayed for a three-night girl trip weekend to explore the sights in Ludington, Pentwater and Manistee. The cabin is fully stocked and clean. The road noise off the highway did not bother us; we occupied the 2 bedrooms at either end of the cabin. There is also a cute loft with a double bed that we did not need. We were able to bring our bikes inside the breezeway at night. We had a rainy weekend but were able to squeeze in a quick fire one night. There is plenty of seating & lights strung on posts surrounding the fire pit which makes it an ideal photo op. There is firewood (dry) on site and the cabin has all manner of outdoor / cooking / roasting utensils plus fire starters, matches etc. which was very handy. Each of the other cabins had their own fire pits and outdoor seating. We would have liked to have a community bonfire, but the weather did not permit. We did not have any problems with cell service and were able to stream music using our data plans /phones/ iPads on property the entire visit. We did not use the TV, but there were videos and a DVD player in the main room. The cabin had a plethora of brochures/ local travel magazines with info on many area attractions that we used to put together daily itineraries. The owner was on property throughout the weekend turning over the other cabins and making sure anyone with a question was provided helpful information. Would definitely recommend this place and hopefully return in the future.

Everything you could ever need.

This place is amazing. The property has about 6 cabins with private fireplace so it was so incredibly quiet. The cabin we stayed at was so stocked including a full coffee bar and hygiene items in case you forgot something. The rooms were very clean and plenty of space for my family of 5. Our fire pit was very spacious with lights hanging around on poles. It is right off of 31 but you wouldn’t notice. I would definitely come back again with my family.

Great cabin and location

This woodsy and vintage cabin was a great location. We were able to host other family members from out of state for a picnic during our stay. Just a short trip down the road is Lake Michigan and Manistee National Forest where we could bike the trails and swim. Great host!

Great stay, thank you!

This was the perfect cabin for my friends and I - the kitchen had everything we needed and there was just enough space. The hosts were easy to communicate with and friendly! The cabin is just off a highway, so there's some noise to be aware of. Thanks for a great stay!

Perfect for our short getaway

We had a great time at this cabin! It is nothing fancy but perfect for what we needed it for. Location was great, we were able to spend time in Manistee and Ludington. The cabin had everything we needed for a great stay, the beds were comfy, kitchen was fully stocked, we had our own fire pit and a great area to play yard games in. The well water is pretty strong so if you are not use to well water do bring your own drinking water. If you are looking for a cute little road side cabin this would be the place.
