About this property

Enjoy theTraverse City area lakes, rivers, wineries, trails and seclusion here!

Former hunting cabin that has all the comforts. This secluded location hosts a number of benefits for you to enjoy whether it is peace and quite, wine touring, hiking and horse back riding (we are on Mile 731.5) on the North Country Scenic Trail or using your quad or side by side on the great #5Mccct ORV trail. Close to Traverse City, lakes, rivers yet far enough off the paved road (2 miles) for a good nights sleep.

Clean, rustic get away!
We brought our 16 year old daughter and a few of her friends for the weekend to celebrate her sweet 16. We had high hopes for better weather, but it's Michigan- so you never know what you're going to get! The place is very clean and Barn is a delight to communicate with. It is a little rustic, but it has a nice cabin charm to it. Nothing to complain about other than the rain!

Great place hidden away in the woods
We had a great 3 day holiday weekend staying in this cabin. It was very clean, quiet and exactly what we were looking for. We watched the deer from the porch while we drank our coffee. Proximity to the wineries, sleeping bear dunes and Traverse City was great. There are a couple of places to get food within 10 minutes as well as a little brewery. We will stay again.

Nice secluded cabin in the woods. House had everything needed for a week long stay. We enjoyed the rear screened in porch, outdoor grill and fire pit nightly, (firewood supplied a huge plus). We highly recommend for a nice getaway!!

Perfect location and the cabin was cozy.
Quiet and relaxing place and easy to access. We met the owner, Barn, a super nice person who was more than accomadating that the cabin met our needs. We had a great time.

Can't wait to go back!
We took two 18 year old video gamer boys for a quiet/rural retreat with close proximity to Traverse City. We all loved it. The host is delightfully hospitable and attentive, with great suggestions for activities. The boys played corn hole, built a campfire in the chimenea and especially enjoyed the dart board in the house. They commented that one of their highlights was getting to meet "Barn" the host. Us ladies enjoyed a walk around the property and the North country trail, commiserating around the fire, resting in the comfy beds, and creating memories in the kitchen that is well stocked with pots, pans, crock pots and blenders, and every tool you could want. Check in was easy, everything was immaculate and the space is filled with character! Everything you could possibly want in a stay is accounted for. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Watch out if you have pet allergies.
The place is small and rugged but the price and location was good for our needs. We filled the space with 6 adults. Barney was a very good host and the place was clean. My only complaint is that my husband and I are both allergic to pet dander. Despite the rule to not have pets in bed with them, we could tell that the last people who stayed there let their pet stay in bed with them as the blanket made us itch, eyes and nose water and the smell in the room and whole place was bad We were able to air it out after a few days and wash the blanket but it still bothered us.

Amazing!
I have nothing negative to say about our recent stay here! Went up for a girls wine tour trip and the location was exactly what we were looking for. The house was clean and perfectly set up for a fun time. Barn was nothing short of an amazing host. He was in communication with me from the start and made sure we had everything we needed. 10/10 would go back or recommend to others!

Great Ride-in/Ride-out ORV/Motorcycle Location
Our stay was fantastic. I have been looking for a while for a rental property that is close enough to an ORV/Motorcycle trail that my friends and I could simply ride out from the house without having to drive our trucks and trailers to a trail head down the road. This location is less than a mile from the Grand Traverse Motorcycle and MCCT trails. Another bonus was the proximity to Traverse City which allowed us to bring our significant others who don't ride on this trip. The host goes above and beyond making sure everything is going how you want it, which really made this rental special. The house was also great for our energetic dog, with lots of open yard for running and play. The interior is simple and to the point, which was perfect for making breakfasts, playing cards an lounging before heading out on our daytime adventures. We can't wait to start planning to the house next spring.
