This was our 6th year at this property and we have always enjoyed ourselves. Secluded enough to feel you’re the only ones in the world but close enough to shops, restaurants, golf courses, etc. to take a day and get in some other fun. Can’t wait to check our calendars and plan next year.

We loved our stay at this little gem! It was a great jumping off point for many adventures in the area with our 2 young children. We spent much of our mornings and evenings on the beautiful porch with magnificent views. We also loved going down to the beach and collecting rocks, swimming (water shoes needed!) and watching the gorgeous sunset. We hope to be back one day!

The house is lovely and has a beautiful view of Lake Michigan. There is a tidal pool down by the water where we watched frogspawn hatch and migrate the week we were there. The host is friendly and accessible. Highly recommend for a quiet week surrounded by natural beauty.

This was our 7th stay at this cabin (we've visited in both spring and fall); & we've been visiting this gem of a property since Fall 2021. It is EXQUISITE. We frequent because it's so wonderful, and wonderfully relaxing.Perfectly Up-North Michigan, perfectly appointed cabin, perfectly situated on the lot--we stay here as an artists' retreat, to be creative, so we are delighted to settle in and see zero other humans while we're here. Plenty of freighters to watch cross the Straits, which is super cool!The beach is incredible--it's rocky, because you're on the Strait, which is cool--and the views morning, afternoon, and evening are fabulous!This is one of our top-3 places to sit for a bit (the other two are in Canada, so.):)

What an incredible piece with majestic views, and private if you’re looking for that. It was the perfect location for us to get to Munising (make sure to ride the @riptideride!), Macinac island and back to Harbor Springs and Petosky.

We had our 2nd stay this year at this cabin—we’ve made the trip 1-2 times annually for 5 years now! It is MAGICAL. It’s the U.P. at its best: log cabin, surrounded by trees, abundant wildlife (bald eagles! Woodpeckers! Loons! Etc.!). And the water of the straight view of Bic Mac from the beach BLISS.The cabin is spacious, the back deck is huge, the water view is stunning, & WOW the stars at night are unspeakably brilliant.AND, the water is the star of the show here.We’re both musicians, so we visit this place as often as we can as an artists’ retreat—you can go your entire stay with wonderful quiet, & not see another human.Bring binoculars or a telescope to zoom in on the freighters passing by. Bring beach chairs to sit on the gorgeous, & gorgeously rocky, private beach to read. We often bring floaties to anchor to the shore & float & watch the fabulous sunsets! P.S. staring at the water is like a pipe-cleaner for the brain. Grill & firepit are great, kitchen is clean & spacious. It’s the perfect amount of space for a getaway. Reminder: it is SUPER quiet on this property—no loud neighbors partying, no crowded beach. It’s sublime.This place is a GEM,(We love it so much we keep going back.)Also, go look at the water for a week!

This was an amazing cabin and met all of our needs! We loved being away from town but close to all the action of the car show! The views from the backyard were beautiful! We loved exploring everyday and coming back to chill at night and didn’t miss having WiFi at all!

Best Family Vacation Ever!

Absolutely beautiful property. The cabin was ideal for all our needs. Excellent location, convenient to so many activities. The owner was great handling the one minor issue we experienced checking in and made sure we were taken care of quickly. This was by far our best family vacation filled with breathtaking views and unforgettable memories. We would love to return year after year!
