We stayed for four days in July. It is a lovely little cabin. The cabin is easy to find. Our toddler loves the bunk beds, and the table overlooking the river. The hostess is excellent.

Nice place to stay!

Quaint little place to stay near Traverse city. The house was clean and well stocked with extra blankets, pillows and movies for a quiet evening. It is right on the river but it’s about a 25ft drop down to the water.
