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.

Nice cabin to stay in. Good location. Had to ask for access code to property at check-in. Had to ask for check out procedures and complete them even though we were packed up and ready to leave. Hundreds of lady bugs in the cabin.

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.
