Me and my family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this VRBO. The place was very clean, well stocked and nicely decorated. Communication with the host was excellent. We would definitely stay here again. The location was wooded and private but convenient for Higgins and Houghton Lake.

It was very secluded but close to town. We saw lots of deer and the night sky with all the stars was amazing!
The pictures don't do it justice! The house gives a rustic feel with all modern ammenities. It was excellent for riding as there's access to trails a mile north or south. It's very nice and quiet tucked in the woods, the kids really enjoyed walking down the property trails picking up sticks for the fire. We're already looking forward to staying here again.

This was our second time staying here and we will likely be back again! This cabin is private, clean and comfortable. Communication with the owner is excellent. We appreciate that it is pet friendly and love the trails on the property. Highly recommend!
Our family rented this cabin for a long weekend. Couldn't have been happier with the place! Super clean, had all the amenities you'd need and we had a blast! Would 10/10 stay here again. The cabin and property were beautiful.

Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed your stay and you’re welcome back anytime.
It was great. As it is describe and plus some. The extra’s that are in the house if you were to forget something was a great bonus. The property is beautiful. There are trails to walk, and see the woods. The house is fully stocked for whatever you would need. It is peaceful, and quiet. My family had a great time. Very clean. I would recommend to anyone thinking about renting it.

This cabin was all we could ask for! Quiet and secluded yet only a short drive into town if needed. This cabin was very clean and spacious.The cabin had everything we needed for our 5 day stay. We brought our sxs up and it was very close to trails and not a far drive to higgins lake. Owner was a very fast responder and friendly if we had any questions. Thanks again for opening your awesome cabin to us and we look forward to booking again in the future!

Thank you for your wonderful review Chelsie. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to having you again in the future. TYVM!
We were pleasantly surprised that the pictures didn’t do the cabin justice! Everything was better in person! The power recliner and leather couches were so comfy! The only thing I would suggest is moving the microwave somewhere us short people can access better.
We loved our stay at this lovely 3bdrm, 2 bath cabin in the woods. It had all the amenities and having a dog kennel in the hall closet is a nice touch. Our bath towels were laid out for us (love not having to search for things) and the extra bathroom toiletries came in handy as one left their toothbrush/paste behind. Our plans included river tubing in Grayling and mead tasting in Bellaire. We were happy to be not far from either location.

Thank you Amanda, very glad you enjoyed your stay! Appreciate the review.
This was by far the best home Ive ever stayed in on vbro or air b nd b. To start the communication was great answred very quickly about anh questions i had. The property was beyond beautiful very clean they accommodated everything we needed blankets pillows towels on every bed and every bedroom had a tv closet dresser and fan. They include so much for your animals very very pet friendly down to having bowls, treats, a portable crate, little dog leash outside and a leash hanging in the entrance. So adorable 5 stars all around will def be back to visit your property its on my saved list love the area as well so many badass trails to ride highly recommend. So much fun by far one of the best trips ive had in a very long time my friends also agree this pmace is amazing

Thank you so much. So glad u enjoyed it. We do our best to make everyone comfortable. We are dog folks as well and welcome all the furry family members. Yall are welcome bk anytime. I hope ur looking fwd to ur next stay. Thank u again.
I decided to book this property for the 4th of July week for a getaway with friends. I cannot tell you enough how perfect everything was! From surrounding things to do like swimming at Kneff Lake, kayaking the Ausable River, or riding the ORV trails you really can’t miss out on connecting with nature. When it’s time to come in from playing outside, the cabin offerers such a wonderful place to rest your head. As you walk in you really do feel like you’re in a second home, and my friends felt the same way. Everything was very kept up, and clean as well. I can’t wait to visit again, and the hosts Joe / Amy were awesome to work with. Thank you!

Thank you very much Emily. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Please keep us in mind for any future stays in the area.
I loved the fact that it was so CLEAN and had just about every little thing you could ever need throughout the whole cabin. The extra goodies and stuff for your dog was very thoughtful as well. The only thing I would recommend is updating the picture of the "outside / yard" It's not what it looks like now, so maybe an updated picture of how it currently looks. I had no complaints and neither did my 11 & 13 yr. old grandsons, they loved everything. My husband said it was the best cabin yet....(we rent 2-3 a year) All of the communication I had with the owners was clear and fast, I loved that as well. We all loved the layout of the cabin, lots of room but not too big where we felt like weren't able to hang out together. Very nice decor...loved it!!!

Thank you so much. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. Yeah, I just finished siding the enclosed porch for a mudroom right before your arrival and didn’t get a chance to get a new pic. It is forthcoming. Thank you again. Please keep us in mind for future stays.
