Girl’s Trip - Teachers Off Duty

We had an amazing time at the cabin! Our trip was just what we needed after a long school year. The house was beautiful and had plenty of space for all of us. We really enjoyed the outside space as well. They opened up their new game room for us to check out. It was awesome! Our wine tour bus even picked us up from the house. It was a great home base for all our travels and activities in the area. Katie was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We would definitely stay there again!

Awesome!

We go up to northern Michigan every year to go ride the motorcycle trails. Uncle Don's cabin is definitely one of the nicest places we've stayed at. Tons of room, everything you need and right down the road from the trailhead. We would definitely recommend!

Cousins reunion

This was the perfect spot in the Traverse City area for a family gathering. Superior outdoor areas for talking, fires, eating, etc. Numerous sleeping areas with bathrooms. Workout room and chapel. Kitchen a little on the small side, but more than adequate dining space. Quiet and scenic. Highly recommend. Home was well stocked and host was readily available.
