Awesome cabin great location

The cabin was so beautiful and in such an awesome location. We loved Peterson Beach which is right down the street. The cabin was very clean and updated. It had everything we were looking for. We really enjoyed our stay and the host was very responsive and even let us come in earlier than expected so it worked out perfectly! Thank you so much!

This cottage was super cute and the location was great. It was almost right between the Sleeping Bear Dunes and Frankfort. There is a canoe rental place just down the road. The cottage was super clean and comfortable. Jerry was very friendly, responsive and helpful with suggestions and tips for the area. We would definitely stay here again.

Best VRBO stay ever.

We have stayed in many VRBO properties. This was our best yet. Jerry was excellent in his communication and he has clearly thought of everything. Plenty of cooking supplies, games outdoors, and great instructions. The property gave us easy access to beaches, canoeing, and hiking. It’s rural so grocery shopping can be a slight challenge. The property was super clean and well maintained. Thanks for a great stay.

We enjoyed our stay at this cozy cottage. The location was convenient to Sleeping Bear Dunes and local towns. We hiked, went beachcombing and shopping In Frankfort, Empire and Glen Arbor. The cottage had one of the best supplied kitchens of all the VRBOs we've stayed inand was very clean on our arrival. Very responsive host. Highly recommended.

Exactly what you are looking for.

This place is the perfect up north stay thats located close to a lot of amazing sights and fun cities. We felt secluded but not far from anything at the same time. Everything was clean, seemed very recently undated, and the owner was quick to communicate. 10/10 would definitely stay here again

Sleeping bear getaway

Wonderful cottage in just the right location for all our Sleeping Bear Dune adventures (hiking and biking). Very clean, spacious, and well stocked (including the beautiful kitchen and new gas grill!). We also loved having the washer and dryer for clean (and dry) beach towels each day!! Will definitely be back!!

Peaceful & Relaxing

This cabin was exactly what my wife and I needed for a quiet getaway. It was clean and very comfortable. The location is absolutely perfect for short trips. Our favorite restaurant was The Manitou about 6 min from the cabin and Birch & Maple in Frankfort. The host was also very helpful and responsive. We will definitely be back next summer!

Perfect Location & Accommodations

This cabin was just right for our family of 4. The kids slept on the futon couches in the living room and it suited us very well. The cabin was fresh, clean and very convenient. The location was excellent - very close to many beautiful points of interest. It was also very well stocked - wood for the campfire, toasting forks for roasting marshmallows, coffee maker, toaster, dishwasher and many other small touches that really impressed us!!! We will definitely book this cabin next time we visit this beautiful area of Michigan!
