Really sweet place with all the creature comforts of home in a beautiful area. We hired trails in Sleeping Bear Dunes, hung out on the sandy shores of Lake Michigan, and kayaked the Lower Platte River. Delightful stay!

Great Cabin Great Location!

This adorable and comfortable log cabin was in a perfect spot - close to tubing/kayaking, beaches, all the best up north towns, Platte Lake, etc! Check in was super easy, cabin was clean, didn’t need anything while we were there, but the owner had all their info if we had needed them. There were plenty of beds, a well stocked kitchen, and a nice fire pit for s’mores. Would definitely stay again!

Cozy and Relaxing

This was a really cute cabin that had such a homey vibe and was very inviting. We felt very comfortable and loved the layout. We were able to have our own space which was really nice and allowed us all to relax. The kitchen is my favorite room and it was nice to have all the tools I needed to cook and be in the center of everything. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay again when back in the area.

Sleeping Bear Dunes Get-away

The property met our expectations as listed. It was a comfortable place to relax after each days' adventures to Sleeping Bear Dunes, visiting the nearby lighthouses, tubing in the Platte River or miniature golfing during our short trip. The cabin had what we needed to eat a few meals in and refresh ourselves for the next day's activities. The hosts were very accommodating and made the check-in and check-out procedures easy and they were very attentive to any questions or concerns that we had. We would stay again if we are in the area.

This is our second time staying on the property. It is so clean and has been kept up well. It is one of the most well stocked VRBOs we have stayed at. Beautiful area of Michigan to explore and quiet setting. I think you will have a pleasant stay. We hope to be back again sometime.

This was our first time to Michigan and Sleeping bear, great access to the dunes and an adorable place. Had all we needed besides air conditioning, but it was extremely warm while we were there and we are from Maryland so we are very use to having air conditioning. Host quickly responded any issues and was a pleasure to deal with, thank you for letting us rent your place, we had a great time!

Perfect cabin in the woods!

This cabin was a perfect spot for us! We traveled here to spend time at the Sleeping Bear Lakeshore. It is located close to everything we wanted to do. The Trading Post down the street was a plus that we took advantage of. I highly recommend going on one of their kayaking trips. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed, including charcoal for the grill. Would stay here again if travel back this way.

Vacation

We enjoyed our stay and were within a short drive to several little towns and activities. The backyard was great for hanging out after a long day and had plenty of firewood. We ate in a lot and the kitchen and eating area was great. The only things that would improve this place would be better lighting and more linens do to no available laundry room. Overall we had a great stay.

Nice Cabin in the Woods

This was a great cabin to rent for three couples; everyone was comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped with appliances, tableware, and cookware. The living room and dining room both have comfy chairs & couches. We especially enjoyed our campfires in the back yard. The property was conveniently located near Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. We would definitely recommend this cabin!

Perfect location for all the Sleeping Bear Dunes and surrounding area

Great Cabin! Clean with plenty of space for all of us to spread out. Great backyard area with a fire pit perfect for the end of evening wind down. Kitchen was stocked with enough cooking pots and pans and even a slow cooker which we took advantage of. Definitely returning to this one. Centrally located to visit all the spots - Glen Arbor, Fishtown - Frankfort - Empire Bluffs, to name a few.

Very nice!

It was a cozy, quaint cabin! Perfect for my family and our friends. We were out sight-seeing most of the time, but we enjoyed the time we did have in the cabin. The shower was nice. Great water pressure. Sometimes it's the little things. And the kids' bedroom was great! The boys all got to bunk together and they loved that!

28th Anniversary trip

We just got home today from a long weekend at this great place. The host is very responsive, the place was spotless and well equipped, although no AC or accessible washer & dryer, which for us was not a concern as it was perfect weather and it was a short stay so no laundry was needed. We enjoyed exploring the local part of the national lakeshore. There is some great hiking trails and Peterson beach was perfect. It’s a convenient drive to the Glen Arbor area and Frankfort. We will be back.

Paw Paw Lake Cottage-Home

We loved this property! The best part was that there were so many rooms for our family to spread out! Our children (ages 19 and 14) both had their owns rooms, but the Great room and dining room were fabulous spaces for our family to come together and enjoy each others' company. My husband really enjoyed the fire pit, and we had many nights of smores! The ambiance of this cabin really made it feel like we were on vacation, and it had all the conveniences we needed to to be comfy.

Great cabin that looks better in person then it even does in photos. Very clean, well stocked. Excellent Wifi. Awesome location to tour the Leelanau/Traverse area. Nice fire pit in back yard, plenty of parking, 2 lakes within walking distance. If I had to nit pick: bring some fans if it's warm. Otherwise, an excellent job.
