The cabin was spacious. Downfall is there is no air conditioning or wifi, which is no big deal if u want to disconnect. Bad smell outside near the croc. But it was nice cozy cabin for our weekend!

Great Rustic Cabin.

This is my third year staying in this cabin. It’s one of my favorite places to bring my kids during the fall deer season. The cabin sets the mood for the fall hunting season. My kids especially love the old time gas lighting. I can’t recommend the place enough to enjoy all Northern Michigan has to offer.

Not what I expected

I was fully prepared to stay in a rustic cabin. The reviews said how clean the cabin was. But immediate upon entering I encountered mouse poop on the kitchen counter. I am terrified of mice, and then upon further inspection I found more on both couches and the coffee table. Needless to say we packed up a day early and came home.

Weekend family trip

The cabin was cute and quaint, great location. Quiet neighborhood and nice property ( we would love to own it)! The house needed a few updates but was great for a weekend! Beds were not super comfortable and it could have been a little cleaner but for a cabin the woods it was perfect!

Remote and rustic

Only 1/2 mile to the Whirlpool drop off. If we had kayaks or canoes we would have brought them. Only 35 minutes to Forest Dunes golf course. Enjoyed the quiet of this rustic home. Would love to know the history of it - since there were lantern lights. We’ve stayed at many rustic homes and enjoyed immensely. However some basic things stand out - TV stand lots of dust and fridge drawers needed a clean. We cleaned both and took only minutes. Also swept the front and back porch while had lots of tree debris. Recognize the tree debris but easily tracked in during unloading. We swept and after 2 days not much fell.

Wonderful stay in this cozy cabin!

We had a wonderful stay in the cabin. It was rustic enough to feel like it was in the middle of nowhere, but had all the amenities that we could have needed. Perfect spot to stay for a large group or a single couple. Short drive to town, the river, and even golf courses. Would definitely stay again!

Rental property

Would have been nice to know that although the property has a TV , it is not hooked up to cable or antenna. That would be nice to inform people about. I would not recommend bringing a spouse (woman) to this rental. The appearance when you walk into the back door with the rotting under the entry door is not very appealing. There were a handful of chipmunks climbing in & out behind the base of the cedar wall outdoor shingles. Weren't sure if they could get in the place or not. Floors did not look vacuumed. There were a few dead bugs throughout the place on the floors. We had a heavy rain and without gutters the rain was coming down hard right over the doorway.
