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.

This was a beautifully decorated home. Cozy and comfortable with all the relaxing additions. Bed were great! Great for large groups with additional entertainment available outside. Fire pit, horse shoe , and beautiful trails to wonder. This location was quiet, and just a 15-20 minutes from TC for further entertainment. We will come again.

We had our girls trip and the place was absolutely beautiful, exactly what we was looking for. The host was very accommodating and was blowing off the seats by the fire pit for us when we arrived. He was a very courteous host and they had a lot of extra amenities available.

A hidden gem in the Pines

Very clean, neat, peaceful, had everything we needed. Stocked coffee pods and fixins! The beds were incredibly comfortable, the outdoor shower looking up at the sky and the pines was incredible. The hosts were great, very friendly. Fun family games to choose from and shuffle board! Will stay here again and also recommend to friends and family! Five stars!

Perfect for the family of six we had. Close to everything traverse City and wine country including the sand dunes. Very clean and updated, we only had one night for a bonfire. Wish we had more time at the cabin but we were busy with a wedding. I would recommend for anyone!
