Cozy and quiet rustic cabin

It was a very enjoyable stay. We wanted to get away for our anniversary. The cabin was just what we wanted, cozy and quiet. The surrounding trees provided lots of privacy. We will be back.

I enjoyed my 3 night stay at the little cottage. It does have a wrap around porch, so it seems much bigger. I had activities in TC, Suttons Bay and Omena so the location was perfect. Had my breakfast out on the back area and it was so nice to be out in the woods. Would Def stay again.

Very cute, clean cabin. We had a quiet and relaxing stay in the woods. The outdoor composting toilet was clean and the outdoor shower and sink convenient. We loved having a kitchenette inside with a coffeemaker for breakfast. Very close to Sutton’s Bay and nearby breweries.

We loved it! It's off the main road, making it quiet and relaxing. Easy access to nearby towns.

We loved both the cabin and location! Good owner directions left for us on the table: clear and concise. We enjoyed browsing the brochures of local sites. Easy access to the venues we were visiting. We recommend this cabin!

The outdoor shower and outhouse added a unique touch to our experience, blending rustic charm with modern comfort. We enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable getaway.

Its a cabin with an outdoor bathroom

And its great! The wife and I had a blast for our wedding anniversary trip. The cabin is cute, clean, and centrally located for all the activities the Leelanau peninsula has to offer. We would absolutely stay at the cabin again, and would recommend it to anyone wanting to check out that part of the state.

It was breath taking when we pulled in. We enjoyed the peace and quiet, while waking up, having dinner on the back porch, sleeping in the loft, having a fire at night. The cabin was adorable, clean and smelled fresh. Everything we needed was available. Loved the outdoor shower and looking up at the trees. Loved the location. We will be back!!!

In the woods

Very Rustic! We were out and about most of the time so it worked well for 2 people over 70 years old! It was nicely done, slightly smaller than we anticipated, so we had to leave stuff in the car. The loft was unique, but the ladder was not hard to navigate during the night when heading out to the bathroom (outhouse)! We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Thank you for having us!

Perfect, Private Retreat to explore the Leelenau Peninsula

Cozy cottage under a beautiful canopy of trees. Had everything needed to rest after a busy day of adventures. Location was perfect for exploring Suttons Bay, Northport, Leelenau State Park and Leland. Can't wait to come back for more wine tasting, bike riding, hiking and clear blue waters! If you're planning to use the fire pit, be sure to pick up wood in the area and bring your fire starter supplies.

perfect little cottage

The owner was fantastic. We were headed there when she informed us of a power outage in the area, causing the cottage to not have water. She offered us a full refund, which we declined because we needed to stay there since it was such short notice. She even said she would meet us to give us partial money back. The place was clean, beautiful and perfect location. It exceeded our expectations and I hope we can return here someday again!
