Peaceful Hideaway

Small, cozy cabin. Somewhat lacking in kitchen amenities and could use a good cleaning but is comfortable and quiet. The hot tub is the best we've ever been in! The jets are fabulous! We would definitely stay here again.

Relaxing

I enjoyed my weekend away in a quiet northern MI cabin. The hot tub was very relaxing. The cabin has a lot of potential but needs a deep clean. Host was very responsive.

Excellent communication from Ed. Excellent location of the property. Hot tub is in pristine condition and receives pristine maintenance. We came up for the color to tour which was spectacular. And the cool evenings spent in the hot tub was out of this world. Highly recommend.

Great stay for our ATV trip!

Good place if you're heading out on the trails. Our host was very responsive to us for check-in and issues. The house needed a little more cleaning, but the beds were clean and everything we needed was present. No internet was available, which we made the host aware of, but we were out on the ATV trails and passed time playing games (bring DVDs if you have to have a movie). Lots of comfortable places to sleep. The hot tub was nice and clean as well. If you have more than two people and want to play games, I suggest you bring a small portable table. We ended up playing cards on the floor, but were still comfortable. All in all, good stay and the location is perfect for accessing an ATV trailhead.

Quaint cabin

We had 5 adults and 2 larger dogs, had plenty of room and was very comfortable. Keep in mind the cabin is a cabin, not a posh upscale hotel, but the hot tub was amazing. The area is very quiet and relaxing. I wish I would have really looked at distances to where our activities were, it was a bit far but that is on me. Our dogs loved the curtains on the rooms, they were able to snoop whenever they wanted, especially if someone was in the bathroom. The only odd thing was part of the check out was you needed to take your garbage with you, but there were no suggestions where you could dispose of it. We had no room in our vehicle to carry it 4 1/2 hours home. We found a dumpster at a construction site but that probably wasn't the legal thing to do. The property owner was very responsive when I messaged him.

Was disappointed

The place is extremely small. There were electric heaters in each room. The loft is only accessible by someone capable of climbing a ladder. The 4th bedroom is literally a closet and only a small child would fit in the built in bed. The bedrooms and bathroom have curtains for doors so privacy is limited. The WIFI didnt work until the second day when the maintenance man finally showed up. The only good thing about this place was the hot tub but still that had its issues. The radio stuck on one station and volume level and we had a hard time turning that off. Overall we were disappointed and half of us left early.

Trip planner

I thought it was a good value for a home base for a snowmobile trip , not a big living area to hang out in but it has 6 beds and where there to ride not hang out in the house .

As described, rustic cabin that's perfect for outdoor activities and a very close walk to the beach (Bear Lake) which is beautiful in all seasons - we were here for my husband's IceMan race that left from Kalkaska airport and I'd recommend this location for all riders: close to the start and not too far from the finish but far enough that the restaurants are not overcrowded when you want to eat (recommend Moose & Stella's and Bear Inn) Cabin sleeps 6 but realistically, only a close couple or a family with young children can stay because bathroom and bedrooms do not have doors (separated by curtains) it was perfect for us with our small dog but if our adult daughter had come along, we would've stepped outside for her to use the facilities Hot tub is a VERY nice extra to have in all seasons, esp post race and the neighbors are extremely friendly - very nice tv/internet set up and kitchen basics As with most lake cabin, bring your own soap/shower and extra blankets - mattresses and sofa are rustic

Quaint cabin

Property description is accurate, it is quite small but serves the purpose if you are just sleeping there. We had an infant and toddler and the temps were just so low outside that we found it hard to get the cabin and bedrooms warm enough for the kids to sleep so we ended up going home early. Also the blood on the bathroom light switch should and the mouse poop on the counter hadnt been cleaned prior to arrival.
