Great little place to stay with a small family or by yourself. It’s about 15 minutes from Crystal Mountain, 25 minutes from the Sleeping Bear Dunes overlook, and around 25 minutes from the Crystal River. The host also has lots of fun movies and games in case you get stuck inside with bad weather.

Overall everything was great, was a little out of the way and disappointed there was no access to either lake near us. Cabin was clean and comfortable, tablecloth on DR table needed to be scrubbed - it was a bit sticky! We enjoyed our stay.

Good Overall

Communication with the host was prompt, easy check-in. Cabin was clean and met our needs. We missed the part of the listed that stated there was no A/C, but thats on us. Listing also showed pictures of beach access, but all of these locations were outside of walking distance. Again, something we may have missed about the listing. Overall, we had a great stay and enjoyed our time.

Rustic cabin in one of the world's most beautiful areas

Great location to use at basecamp to explore some of Michigan's most wonderful lakeshores and many other natural features. The cabin was clean and well-appointed with a full kitchen and a fantastic fire pit. We were here to fish, so we only used the cabin late in the evenings but look forward staying again to take in all the amenities. Great communication, great host, great experience.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Clark

Host profile image
Born and raised in Traverse City, I love the area and all the opportunities for spectacular star gazing, hiking trails and walking the beaches.

Why they chose this property

The cabin is tucked in a quiet area west of Honor, near the Big Lake that provides easy access to local activities and attractions as well as a bonfire pit to gather at the end of the day and recount the days' activities and make memories.

What makes this property unique

The cabin is a short drive to many destinations and yet has a secluded feel, surrounded by woods on three sides.
