About this property

Grand Traverse County Cabin in the Woods

Enjoy this cozy cabin in the woods. Nestled in the red pines just minutes from Traverse City. Appreciate all that the seasons have to offer with family and friends. Relax by the outdoor fire pit or enjoy the beautiful lakes nearby. The Northern Michigan night sky offers an amazing view of the Milky Way and even an occasional display of the Northern Lights. Unplug and enjoy the woodlands and when you want to reconnect with the outside world there is wireless internet and a 60" tv, or take time for a game of shuffleboard. Freestanding fireplace gives a relaxing glow while watching the beautiful sunsets. One mile to ORV, snowmobile and equestrian trails. Close to the TART biking and hiking trails, 18 hole disk golf course, lakes, casinos, wineries and shopping. Pets are welcome for a small additional fee.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We had a quiet girls weekend to celebrate our friend who will be married next month and our stay couldn’t have been lovelier. The property was extremely well kept, and the inside of the cabin is even more cozy and inviting than the listing pictures make it out to be. This was a 10/10 stay for all of us!
