Kick back and relax in this calm, stylish space. Tucked behind the treeline, our cabin sits on 11 private wooded acres. A secluded feel while sitting less than a mile walk from Crystal Lake public launch. Family and pet friendly, come and enjoy the peace and solitude of up North. The cabin has a whole house backup generator so you never have to worry about a trip cut short! Make it a trip to stay in (enjoy the jacuzzi bath tub), or explore Beulah with downtown right at your fingertips.

The cabin is tucked into the land, an unassuming little building that opens up into a large living space of just over 1300 sq ft. Access with a custom code set for the SmartLock deadbolt..
Two bedrooms, two bathrooms and an open concept main living/dining space. Each bedroom has its own exit onto the large patio that overlooks the expansive 11 private wooded acres. There is a huge driveway for ample parking; including your boats, trailers and toys!

The two bedrooms are set up with high quality memory foam mattresses with gel toppers and hypoallergenic duvet comforters. The king suite has a large bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub and unique hand painted mural that encapsulates the serenity of up North. We provide an extra Queen size air mattress as well as a Twin size air mattress, and a pack n play for families to spread out. Each bathroom is stocked with spare toiletries including toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, shampoo, conditioner, lotion and more!

If you plan to stay in and cook home made meals, worry not! This kitchen is fully stocked with all essentials and then some! We also provide coffee and tea essentials, as well as some dry goods in the cupboards to get you started. The island also houses a booster seat for babies/toddlers that has two trays, and can attach to chairs/stools or sit right on the floor.

Brand new full size laundry machines can be found right off the kitchen in the laundry closet so your trip doesn't have to leave you getting home exhausted and behind on laundry! Detergent provided.

The open concept moves right into the living room where you can watch nearly any streaming service on the smart TV, play board games and card games, or simply enjoy the view from a cozy seat as the back wall of the living room looks out on the large patio into the hilly woods. Spring and Summer bring dozens of butterflies into the back garden, hummingbirds and bunnies alike.

The custom hand stained pine ceiling paneling creates the perfect acoustics for an artists retreat, bring your equipment and record in near silence.

Outside we have a propane grill, a fire pit and camping chairs provided (those can be found in the Queen room closet). Also found in the queen room closet is a set of cornhole to take outside and play in the yard or right on the patio.

Up here there is no Uber Eats, Shipt or really much delivery at all... BUT here are a few places less than 10 minutes from the cabin:

A Papano's Pizza
The Cherry Hut
Five Shores
Lucky Dog Bar & Grille
L'Chayim Delicatessen
Ursa Major Bistro
McDonald's
The Platte River Inn

Other fun local activities include tubing or kayaking down the Platte River - rentals at Tipsy Canoe Rental and Brew - only a 10 minute drive from the cabin!

You will have access to the whole cabin during your stay. While we will be offsite, we encourage you to reach out any time with questions or concerns during your trip! The woods behind the patio are ours, with a walking path that goes very quickly downhill into the ravine; guests are welcome to hike the trail (we keep it very natural) at their own risk. Do not let children or pets play in the woods unattended. The shed at the top of the drive is not for guest access.

Most properties in this area are on well water and septic sewer; as is ours. We kindly ask that guests be aware of not flushing anything but waste and toilet paper into the toilets. A whole house generator on site will keep the power on in case of an outage during your trip.

Please message me if you intend to use the wood burning fire place for instructions to use it safely and where to find wood.

No smoking allowed - no exceptions.
Cigarette butts found on the ground around the property will be an additional cleaning fee of minimum $150.

Huge driveway has plenty of room for boats/trailers to park all the toys!

Just the most peaceful stay
Beautiful stay tucked away in the woods. A minute from Crystal Lake and a few minutes in any direction from beautiful scenery. I messed up the booking short a day and the host was more than accommodating. Would absolutely book again!

A lovely place
We were delighted with this quaint, comfortable, and off-the-beaten-track lodging. It was clean and cozy and we had a wonderful time. There was no indoor table, but we made do and would go back in a heartbeat.

One issue but all and all nice and enjoyable
Overall nice house and property. Close enough yet far enough away from northern Michigan things to do. Adults and kids enjoyed. Unsure if post has been updated when review posted. Property was 2 bedroom rather than 3 bedroom. Was plenty of places/beds to lay heads for the 7 of us, however filtered search for 3 bedroom. Hopefully app/host able to update soon so doesn’t catch more people off guard. Was happy with bedding, towels, shower supplies, kitchen appliances and utensils etc etc. Would stay again, just prob with couple less… all and all enjoyed.

Not as Described
Property is NOT 3 bedroom - only 2 bedroom. Pics show the same bedroom twice with different furniture and different descriptions. Property needs many interior repairs and yard/landscape is unkept. During our stay one toliet was not working so we reached out to Erica. She responded that she would take care of it ASAP. However, that was the last we heard from her during our stay. We had 6 adults and one working toilet. Toilet in the master rocks from side to side. Garbage disposal didn't work. Electrical outlet w/no cover in hallway. Shower door in bathroom has a gap which causes water to seep on the floor while showering, causing a slip hazard. Used towels to soak up water. We were only given 8 towels and 3 washcloths for 6 adults/4 day stay. Erica stated that was more than adequate. Be prepared to do laundry or bring your own. The cabin has a portable AC unit in the living room however is not adequate to cool the bedrooms. Bedrooms have small fans but the bedrooms are very warm which made it difficult to sleep. Boat launch closet to the cabin is not usable for pontoons, it may be suitable for smaller boats. Only about 1/4 acre of this property is usable. The rest is overgrown and the majority is down a steep ravine. Nature trail begins at the top of ravine and is very overgrown. Not usable and not safe for children. We have alerted Erica of the issues we found during our stay. We also communicated with VRBO directly.
