We had a great time. This neat little cottage is extremely clean and tidy. It has everything you could possibly need. It is located in a very beautiful area. The owners are very kind and responsive.
Thornwood cabin was super cozy for my husband and me for a weekend getaway. Convenient location to get to Lansing, boat ramp, gas stations, etc. But secluded enough to enjoy the scenery (even heard a male turkey gobbling behind the house the day we left). We are already planning our next trip and plan to use Thornwood cabin in the future.
