Very happy with the property as it was just what we were looking for, something that you can ride to the trails from and a nice comfortable clean place to stay. The property had everything that we needed and great lighting in the bathroom.! We would stay there again for an off-roading weekend! And room enough for a big truck and trailer to get in and out of, another must for us.

This was the perfect getaway for our family. Everything was beautiful and peaceful. We were able to rest and relax. The cabin was very clean and had the necessities. While there were neighbors, they were far enough away that this felt private. We were very glad to see all of the windows had full curtains for privacy. Other VRBO's we have stayed in did not, so that was nice. The cabin was very cozy and comfortable. The furniture on the covered back porch was perfect and it was so nice to sit on the porch and look out over the pond. The geese and swans were beautiful and peaceful to watch. We have been sharing about this cabin with our family and friends and hope to stay here again. No complaints. James and Shawna have done a great job with the property.

The perfect getaway

The cabin was perfect and the property is absolutely beautiful. We had such a relaxing visit—it was the perfect getaway. It was incredibly convenient to hop in the Can-Am and head straight to the Little Manistee. Our hosts were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We will definitely be booking this property again!
