It was a very enjoyable stay. We wanted to get away for our anniversary. The cabin was just what we wanted, cozy and quiet. The surrounding trees provided lots of privacy. We will be back.
I enjoyed my 3 night stay at the little cottage. It does have a wrap around porch, so it seems much bigger. I had activities in TC, Suttons Bay and Omena so the location was perfect. Had my breakfast out on the back area and it was so nice to be out in the woods. Would Def stay again.
We loved it! It's off the main road, making it quiet and relaxing. Easy access to nearby towns.
We loved both the cabin and location! Good owner directions left for us on the table: clear and concise. We enjoyed browsing the brochures of local sites. Easy access to the venues we were visiting. We recommend this cabin!
Very cute, clean cabin. We had a quiet and relaxing stay in the woods. The outdoor composting toilet was clean and the outdoor shower and sink convenient. We loved having a kitchenette inside with a coffeemaker for breakfast. Very close to Sutton’s Bay and nearby breweries.
We had a wonderful stay at this charming tiny home! The space was incredibly clean, cozy, and well-maintained. The outdoor shower and outhouse added a unique touch to our experience, blending rustic charm with modern comfort. We enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable getaway.
And its great! The wife and I had a blast for our wedding anniversary trip. The cabin is cute, clean, and centrally located for all the activities the Leelanau peninsula has to offer. We would absolutely stay at the cabin again, and would recommend it to anyone wanting to check out that part of the state.
It was breath taking when we pulled in. We enjoyed the peace and quiet, while waking up, having dinner on the back porch, sleeping in the loft, having a fire at night. The cabin was adorable, clean and smelled fresh. Everything we needed was available. Loved the outdoor shower and looking up at the trees. Loved the location. We will be back!!!
Very Rustic! We were out and about most of the time so it worked well for 2 people over 70 years old!
It was nicely done, slightly smaller than we anticipated, so we had to leave stuff in the car.
The loft was unique, but the ladder was not hard to navigate during the night when heading out to the bathroom (outhouse)!
We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
Thank you for having us!
I had a lovely stay at the cottage. It truly is in the woods. The stillness and silence were just what I needed, along with the singing birds. The cottage was very comfortable and outfitted with everything I needed. The propane fireplace kept it nice and cozy and showering outside was a fun adventure that brought me back to my camping days as a kid. Highly recommend this charming place.
This little cabin was the perfect cozy getaway located perfectly for wine tasting. The fireplace kept us warm at night in the early fall, can only imagine how magical it looks during peak color change!
A charming cabin in the woods, with awesome amenities. A great little weekend getaway in a beautiful area. Very friendly and accommodating hosts 10/10 recommend.

Emma and her boyfriend were great guests. They went above and beyond to leave my cabin clean. I would definitely recommend renting to them.
Such a beautiful little cabin in the woods. Secluded, well kept, perfect to get away from the world for a bit. Carrie was excellent at communicating. Recommended for anyone!
Perfect, Private Retreat to explore the Leelenau Peninsula
Cozy cottage under a beautiful canopy of trees. Had everything needed to rest after a busy day of adventures. Location was perfect for exploring Suttons Bay, Northport, Leelenau State Park and Leland. Can't wait to come back for more wine tasting, bike riding, hiking and clear blue waters! If you're planning to use the fire pit, be sure to pick up wood in the area and bring your fire starter supplies.
Our stay was great! Our host, Carrie, communicated wonderfully! The cabin itself is adorable and clean, and a perfect home base from which to explore the Leelanau peninsula area.
