Property was exactly what was listed. The first floor bedroom was very nice for my elderly mother-in-law so I would say this property is elderly friendly. Plenty of towels and other toiletries to last us through our stay. We appreciated the fans left in the house in case it got warm. Would book again!
Everything here was wonderful. We had everything we needed, it was peaceful, any issues were responded to very quickly. The home was very comfortable and perfect for us and our two dogs.
We enjoyed a wonderful family stay at this cabin. It was exactly as described and very comfortable. It was stocked with everything we needed. We would stay here again. Loved it!
The driveway through the woods was beautiful! The cabin location felt very secluded and private surrounded by trees. Everything inside felt new and was in working order. Tasteful decor made the cabin feel warm and inviting. Great WiFi connection. We absolutely loved the basement TV room!!
The house was great. 6 of us stayed there for the weekend and went trail riding on the little o trail system. It was clean, there is a nice fire pit and some yard games and communication with the host was good

The property is smaller than expected and buried deep in the woods. The king bed is in the loft which is open and gets very hot despite the air conditioning. The main floor has a smaller bathroom with a double bed, but the mattress was not a regular mattress, it was more like a camper mattress (foam) box springs…so extremely thin, and throughout the night it slowly bottomed out in the middle and became really hard. (I am 160lb for reference). Downstairs has the largest bathroom and the laundry is located inside the 3rd bedroom. We felt it could have been described better and that communication could have been better.
We really enjoyed our stay in this wonderful cabin. It was cozy, super clean, and everything that you needed was there. The bed was super comfortable, and the view out of the loft windows when waking up was amazing. The host answered all of our questions within a short amount of time. We will be back for sure!!!!!
We had an awesome time, they had all the ameneties needed for big family with kids.
The property sits amidst the woods just us and nature and away from the hustle and bustle of the civilization.. If you are looking to glamp in a secluded but secure place then look no further.
Brandan is an amazing host. Responds immediately, and is very accommodating.
Highly recommend.
Private cabin. The sandy land in Michigan takes special care not to track it in.Modern and clean building. Newer appliances. AC and heat worked great. Comfortable mattresses. Beatiful setup for fire ring outside. Very nice place!As a suggestion only, I would have liked access to the garage for staging our supplies.
We had a great stay at this cabin. It was very clean and it came with everything we needed. You only had to bring yourself & clothes. Outside firepit was great. Plenty of firewood was provided, along with comfortable adirondack chairs. Horseshoe pit & cornhole board provided was nice also. Would definitely stay again. I highly recommend this cabin through Vrbo. And, I want to thank the host, Brandan Browely for all his help and making our stay as fun and relaxing!
Great house secluded from others. Clean and easy to maintain during our stay. Host responded promptly to questions. We will definitely stay here again.
The cabin and property is very nice, however Sleeps 8... Very small maybe a 4 person cabin but definitely not for larger groups. Lacked Storage, no closet space and no dressers or anywhere to place your clothes. plan to use your luggage. We booked the property for 8 nights...it was disappointing to have to leave all of our clothes in the luggage.
Property is very nice, the grill, fire pit, wood for fires etc...Host is excellant. Great getaway for a 4 person or smaller group.
