I stayed for a few days just to get away for a bit. The cabin was quant and clean. I enjoyed watching the birds and squirrels, having a fire every night, hiking on the nearby trails, and generally just relaxing. Would highly recommend this location.

Great Little Cabin

We spent the weekend at this great little cabin. Nick was very welcoming. We loved watching the birds at the feeder. The highlight was the Pileated Woodpecker. The wood burning stove makes the place so cozy and it was only a 7 minute drive to MaDeeters.

Quiet and Restful Stay

The cabin is exactly as described and easily earns a five star rating. This was the first time my wife and I stayed in a place where we brought our own sheets and towels, but we kind of liked it. We also brought our own pillows which made sleeping more like home. The cabin is less than 100 feet from the road but rarely does a vehicle pass by.

A peaceful spot

What a gem Nick and Laura have here. Perfectly sized for a couple. So cozy and clean. I would sit at the table and watched the birds all day and have been happy. The wood stove was a welcome warmth after trails and hikes all day. The bed was extremely comfortable. If you are looking for peace and quiet. This is your place.

Cozy and Peaceful

Well equipped kitchen. Nice ambiance. Good location --near the Au Sable River region for hikes. Responsive host. The oft-filled bird feeder attracted a fascinating array of birds. The weather was rainy during our stay. But the cozy cabin was perfect for reading and sipping hot chocolate. We enjoyed our stay.

Cabin in the woods

We enjoyed our three night stay at a cozy cabin in Luzerne. Two outdoor fire pits for gathering one was log the other gas. Great private outdoor area with deck also to enjoy the forest area and bird feeders. The living room couch and chair were futons and allowed extra sleeping areas besides the queen bed. Kitchen had nice gas stove and everything needed to enjoy your stay.

Sweet get away

Everything was clean, well kept and well stocked. The house is adorable!! We loved the door wall view of the wild life and the choices of patio's to choose from for our meals and morning coffee/tea. It's secluded and private. Directions were very accurate, we had no problem finding the place. Local attractions are just a few miles away, in either direction of the house. Our hosts, Nick and Laura were very accommodating and have thought of everything. We couldn't have been happier with our stay, we will be recommending it to friends and family. And we will be returning in the future! Nick and Laura, thank you for sharing your home with us, we truly enjoyed ourselves, it was so wonderful and pleasant. Nick I need you to text me, we have to get your venmo information because we need to reinverse you for the condiments in the refrigerator that my husband took by accident.. lol Much appreciated and needed, Colleen

Beware of the following

My husband and I were so excited to stay at this cute location. Unfortunately, we got hit with some unexpected information and “additional costs.” Such as having to clean the cabin before we left. And beware, if you use towels and linens you’re going to get charged an extra $50. Which of course we weren’t made aware of this until after the fact. I would recommend just bringing your own towels and linens. Which kind of defeats the point of getting away and enjoying your stay, if you are expected to clean the cabin you’re staying in, and having to bring your own towels and linens. But, that’s just my opinion.

Fabulous Getaway Retreat for 2

This is an absolutely wonderful place for a single or couple to getaway for the weekend. We would stay again in a heartbeat. The cabin is incredibly clean, updated and well appointed with furnishings and amenities, including a wood burning stove, a gas flame table and chairs on the deck, a fire pit, a new gas grill, and two outdoor deck areas to eat and sit in the sun. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, and cooking utensils. They had everything we needed for cooking two nights of meals (including some utensils you normally don't expect). The cabin is a short walk from access to Big Creek if you want to fish, and has good wifi and a TV that allows you to sign into your Netflix or Amazon account or hook up other devices you may have by HDMI cable (provided). One thing to be aware of is to check the "Amenities" and read all the way to the bottom to be aware of bedding/towels and cleaning conditions. They keep the fees low because they ask you to bring your own towels and linens and to do your own cleaning when you leave. We actually saw this as an attractive feature, as the savings on fees was well worth simply having to bring sheets and towels and the small amount of time it took to clean and leave the cabin in the condition we found it. Again, we couldn't have been more delighted with the cabin and plan to return again. They are wonderful and highly responsive hosts.
