The property was clean, organized, and easily accessible. There was plenty of space for six adults. The location is as remote as we were initially looking for, but it is nicely located just a few minutes outside of town. Otherwise, we all liked the property and would consider visiting again.

We invited our adult kids and there families for a long weekend up north. The house was well stocked and large enough for the 9 of us with plenty of room for everyone and the two dogs. A few of us were quite disappointed to find that the advertised 'hot tub' turned out to be just a bathtub with air jets. Also the folks sleeping in the queen bed upstairs reported very squeaky bed springs making sleeping a little rough. All in all though a very good time and very nice location with easy access to town and the lakes.

My first VRBO rental. Golf trip with three buddies. Four bedrooms with one bedroom only accessible by walking through another bedroom. My bedroom had two twin beds with a patchwork bedspread - haven’t seen that in many years. Furnished somewhat with yard sale and thrift store furniture and furnishings. The upstairs bathroom (2 sinks) had a tub/shower with a plastic shower curtain. The backyard had a black chainlink dog run fence. The tv was a small Roku tv. Other reviews talk about the cleanliness but isn’t that expected?. The cost was 700 night - way too much for this experience.

This log cabin is amazing and the pictures don’t do it justice. Only stayed one night for a golf trip but would definitely stay again when we’re in the area again. Communication with the owners was very good and they were happy to help and answer any questions we had.

The location was perfect for our family. Minutes from beautiful Lake Michigan with a great local beach! The cabin had just about everything we needed to our stay and if we forgot something there are stores nearby. We enjoyed a day trip up to Frankfurt which is just about 30 minutes away. Along the drive there we stopped at Arcadia scenic overlook and hiked at Old Baldy trail and saw another beautiful overlook of Lake Michigan. The kids loved the deck and yard while we grilled out. The hosts were very responsive and put a lot of thought and effort into all the amenities in the cabin, even having extra toiletries, bug spray, sunscreen, and spices/condiments just to name a few! Our only regret is not booking a longer stay!

Girls getaway
We enjoyed our time at the cabin. It is well stocked and in a great location. Plenty of sleeping space for our group. The upstairs did get a little toasty warm due to outside temps. Ceiling fans do help but a portable air unit or more fans would be great addition. We had great morning coffee times and fun game nights at the table. One suggestion would be outdoor games.

Well maintained and well located luxury cabin
The property is a pleasure and even better than advertised. The listing showed 1 1/2 baths and there was actually an extra full shower and bathroom. Really well laid out for large parties. We just had the two of us and our dachshund Daisy and French bulldog Tyrion Lannister. There is a great fenced area if you bring pets. Peaceful private and quiet short drive or long walk to Lake and town.
