Quiet Cabin in the Woods - Secluded Yet Close to It All
Tucked away in a rural setting on 10 wooded acres, this cozy three-bedroom cabin offers the perfect escape for those seeking peace, quiet, and a true Up North experience. Surrounded by nature and set back into the woods, it ’s a tranquil retreat where you can unwind and recharge—yet you're still just a short drive from Harbor Springs and all the beautiful destinations Northern Michigan has to offer.
While the cabin does not include air conditioning, there are ceiling fans throughout, and the screened windows welcome in the fresh woodland breezes to keep things comfortable during the warmer months.
Grab your favorite drink and settle in by the wood-burning fireplace for great conversation or a quiet evening with a good book. The cabin is fully stocked for cooking and features a large picnic table on the front porch—an ideal spot for outdoor meals or evening cookouts under the trees.
Not in the mood to cook? Head 9 minutes down the road to Moose Jaw Junction, a local favorite known for its Friday night fish fry, burgers, and laid-back atmosphere. Or take a scenic 12-minute drive to Cross Village for stunning Lake Michigan views and a memorable meal at the iconic Legs Inn. Bliss Polo Club is just 4 minutes away, making this a great base for polo enthusiasts.
Whether you’re looking to explore the best of Northern Michigan or simply relax in solitude, this hidden woodland cabin is the perfect match.

Good afternoon,
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay! We are so glad that you enjoyed your time up north. We hope to host you again in the future!
We had a great time staying here! It was a perfect spot located within a short distance of some cool places to visit. We love that it is in the privacy of the trees with its own walking trails as well. Our family enjoyed day trips balanced with board games, meals on the deck and backyard whiffle ball and horseshoes.

We absolutely loved this cabin. It is nice and secluded but still offers a bunch of places to visit a short drive away. The cabin was clean and everything was well taken care of. I would highly recommend staying here.

It was extremely clean and well equipped. We opted to not stay due to our age/health and the lack of communication due to poor internet and cell service.

While the home is advertised as being in a secluded, rural location, we understand that it ultimately didn’t feel like the right fit for you, and you chose not to continue your stay. Although we've never had complaints about the Wi-Fi, we do appreciate your feedback and will keep it in mind.
We're glad you were appreciative of the refund, especially since, per our cancellation policy, one was not owed. We offered it as a gesture of goodwill.
That said, we were surprised to see a three-star review, particularly considering the clean condition of the home and the amenities you noted you enjoyed. While we understand not every experience is the same, we do take guest feedback seriously and always aim to provide clear, accurate information from the start. – Vacation Properties of Northern Michigan
The Levering Cabin was a very peaceful secluded spot with lots of amenities and a short drive from some beautiful beaches. A wonderful place to socially distance.

We had a wonderful stay at the property! The cabin was beautifully kept and had great amenities. It was a perfect location. 20 minutes from the Mackinac Island ferry but also an excellent way to escape each night from the island and rest in a quiet, secluded cabin. Highly recommended!!

The Hideaway is a great secluded cabin to escape the hustle and bustle, so we're thrilled to hear you took advantage of the outdoor activities and peace that Northern Michigan has to offer! Thank you for staying with us, and we welcome you back anytime! - Vacation Properties of Northern Michigan
My two oldest granddaughters, a boyfriend and myself stayed at the cabin. We visited Mackinac Island and Mackinaw city. The cabin was clean and nicely decorated. The bathrooms were clean, the bedrooms were roomy. We enjoyed our stay in this cabin which was close to the places that we wanted to visit.
I highly recommend this cabin for your visit to the area.

Fun property to truly get away. We enjoyed sitting out in the open field on the bench and stargazing. Well appointed house with several amenities / features not listed in VRBO that made the time more enjoyable as well. Would gladly stay again.
