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!

Overall great time

My husband and I came up for our first time and really enjoyed our stay. The town was nice, the trails were amazing only complaint is the living room and one bedroom of the house were cold. We couldn’t seem to get them warm enough to use them. Need an electric fireplace or something to keep it warm and cozy.

Great vacation

The place was very nice. Every thing was perfect. Downtown was very convenient, restaurants and bar plus shopping. There was no dock and the rowboat was filled with water but I don’t think the pond was deep enough to row around. The wildlife was awesome on the pond. I would suggest to get a guest book so people can tell their fun and adventures. Thank you for sharing your cabin.

Family trip with our Great Dane

The house was as described, the only downside was in the picture it looks like you can stand on the lake shore to fish. You can, you just have to knock down the weeds as you walk. Other than that we had a great time!

surprised

We enjoyed the property. Sad to say there say there was a scheduled power outage scheduled for July 12 from 1100pm till 8am that we were not made aware of..Sadly this was our 50 th. wedding anniversary. We were mortified. One for the record books. Owner should have made me aware. Sad. Please include instruction for coffee maker!

Nice Place!

Great place close to downtown Luther! The bathroom was nice, roomy, and stocked with plenty of towels and washcloths. The kitchen does not have that much counter space but worked for what we needed. The desk area was nice and peaceful. The beds are on the smaller side for 2 adults but we made do. All in all would recommend.

Adorable cottage

The cottage was exactly as advertised with lots of nice little extras. There were a few tv channels that came in and out. Definitely no cell service. If you are looking for it to be EXACTLY as their pictures and descriptions it is not. The pond was barely deep enough for the boat to row through. We kept getting stuck. We could have walked across the whole thing. That was disappointing as we were hoping to fish. Also, the yard, dock and general outside did not look like the pictures. The dock is extremely unsafe and needs some maintenance as does the rest of the outdoor space. But the inside was definitely well appointed and clean. Overall it was a nice stay but for the money it would have been nice if it was just like the pictures and descriptions.

Nice, clean and close to trails. All roads in Luther are sxs approved so it was great! Road over 200 miles of trails on our 3 day trip! No wifi was great, regular antenna channels, and peace! The view, the wildlife and the overall relaxing atmosphere made it awesome! Worth it!

Great little place to stay not too far from skiing

We rented the house because we were skiing at Caberfae. It is about 25 minute drive so not too far. We ate at Logger's Landing right in Luther which was great. We arrived late in the evening so it was a little bit hard to find the property in the dark so those arriving late look for the large sign out front with the One-way watertight mill name on it.

Enjoyed the wildlife

We really enjoyed watching the swans, geese, ducks and the bald eagle in the backyard. The pond was so peaceful in the early morning. Perfect to sit on the back deck with a cup of coffee. The hammock that was in the closet was enjoyed by our youngest among 2 trees by the firepit in the evening. One goose enjoyed nibbling on the apples that had dropped from the apple tree. It was a nice place to relax and unwind and hit the reset button!
