Peaceful and Cozy place to stay

Thornwood cabin was super cozy for my husband and me for a weekend getaway. Convenient location to get to Lansing, boat ramp, gas stations, etc. But secluded enough to enjoy the scenery (even heard a male turkey gobbling behind the house the day we left). We are already planning our next trip and plan to use Thornwood cabin in the future.
