We had a great stay! The fire place was cozy and the house has beautiful views of the hill. It was a great location, we could walk to the ski hill! Beds were comfy and it was fun to play games around the big table or by the fire, would definitely stay again!

This vacation house is incredible! It is a perfect combination of a typical A-frame cabin in Northern Michigan with all the modern finishes one could ask for. On top of it all, this property has one of the best views on the entire property, complete with a great deck for outside gathering and huge windows for when the weather keeps us inside.
