Excellent get away

Our family of six (two adults, four daughters aged 9, 13, 13 and 15) had a great stay! We will definitely come back again. Kitchen was very well equipped, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, amazing scenery and wildlife, comfy beds and we enjoyed the lack of wifi/cell signal. The owner was an thorough communicator so we knew what to expect.

Peaceful property

What a wonderful and peaceful property. The pictures do not do it justice, it is an amazing area/property, so quite and relaxing listening to the birds and the river roll by. We will definitely book this house again. Saw deer crossing the river while sitting on the wrap around deck.

Perfect getaway

My wife and I spent a snowy weekend here, and both the cabin and location were beautiful. We saw deer, hawks, ducks, and other birds. We really enjoyed the quiet retreat. 4 wheel drive was necessary in the snow, but the area was plowed and well maintained!

loved the solitude setting, very quiet and private

Saw plenty of trout swim by, several small animals and two bald Eagles. a bunch of Deer. Excellent stay- this was a repeat location for us and didn't disappoint. Could use a matrices upgrade, that was the common complaint- bed wasn't comfortable.

Absolutely beautiful property

The Talaga had so many glass doors you felt as if you were sitting outside with nature all the while being warm and cozy next to a wood stove.. we had a great time even tho the weather didn't cooperate and we couldn't have a bonfire.

Can't Wait to Stay Here Again!

What a wonderful property for a much needed get away! The seclusion was amazing. A beautiful location, we enjoyed sitting on the large deck every morning drinking coffee and listening to nature. It is definitely remote, we were "unplugged" for 99% of our stay as the Verizon service is minimal, which we ultimately very much appreciated! Though it was only my husband and I, there is plenty of room for the family. Victoria is always reachable and very responsive, definitely one of the best VRBO owners we have ever worked with. Highly suggest this property!

In The Woods

This cabin was amazing and definitely in the woods.River was relaxing we seen fish traveling upstream daily.Seen deer right in the driveway a few days so many variety of birds.If you want peace and quiet and be in the middle of the woods this is for you. Floor to ceiling windows gave a beautiful view of outside. Would love to return next year.

Cabin in the woods - Serene

Want to get away? - this is a great place. 3 bed room cabin on the Little Manistee river is a quiet and beautiful place to get away and spend time with family and friends. You can drop some kayaks up stream and take out right at your cabin. We also watched a bald eagle soaring around overhead. No internet and limited cell service forces you to unplug. This location is near the great Dublin store to pick up some groceries and their famous jerky. We had a great time. Well managed transaction, accurate description, we recommend and would stay again. Thanks!!

True Seclusion

My wife and I cannot stress enough how much we enjoyed our stay here. We live in a busy city, right next to several major roads, but we're country folk at heart. When we arrived at the cabin we must have spent a good twenty minutes just enjoying how quiet it was. A lot of cabins advertise "isolated" or "secluded", then have other houses or cabins less than a stone's throw away. This cabin is completely and truly secluded. We did not see or hear another living soul the entire time we were there. The interior is also in great shape and incredibly nice. The bathroom and shower are a little dated (and the shower head is very short), but we were so enamored with the rest of the place that we couldn't be that bothered by it. All in all, it was an incredible couple days that ended way too quickly and we're already planning to return next year.
