The property was exactly as it was pictured. The bed was very comfortable and plenty of space for our dogs to roam. The owners were very friendly and easy to work with. We will definitely be back!!
I am from northern Michigan and enjoy the outdoors, woods, watching deer and fishing. This place has all of the above and some bird watching too. I am generally down the road and am happy to help wherever I can to help you enjoy your stay up in Northern Michigan.
Why they chose this property
Beautiful hilly area of woods overlooking a couple of valleys beautiful for bird watching, and spotting deer. Cabin is within walking distance to Thumb Lake, less than 1 mile from the lake, including a Pavillion, picnic tables, gaming areas, public beach and public boat launch.
What makes this property unique
Very cool and relaxing area and couple of cabins in an open, large yard area that is well maintained and gives your soul the feeling of "up north". Overlooks some beautiful valleys and trees, and just a mile down the road from one of the most cool lakes around, clean sandy beach of Thumb Lake.
