Relaxing and quiet

Even on a holiday weekend it was peaceful and relaxing, neighbors were very kind and offered to have us play cornhole with them. The host lived near by and went out of his way to make our stay everything we wanted it to be, would definitely book here again

Perfect weekend! We loved this trip. The cabin was perfect for what we needed. My son loved fishing off the dock. They had the air running so it was cool when we arrived. The hosts were amazing to work with. We plan on coming back here again.

Wonderful location

The location was outstanding and the owner Chris was so friendly and accommodating. Everyday I ran in the area and would come back and sit overlooking the beautiful lake. I saw geese, blue Herron, swans, turtles, baby ducklings, deer and it was wonderful.

A-Frame on the lake

Great spot on Lake Horseshoe not far from Ann Arbor. We enjoyed our stay while taking our son to Michigan. We kayaked on the lake, chilled on the back patio and enjoyed a glass of wine at the fire pit. Host were super nice and the beds comfortable. Thank you Chris, we had a great stay.
