Short Stay on the way home

The check in process was convenient and the cabin suited our needs for one night. The cabin was well stocked with anything we might need and there was plenty of room in the front to walk our dogs.

Great Trip

The Host KimMe is AMAZING!Very accommodating and ready to help with any issues that may arise.I saw a comment about well water, the cabin had a water container with filter in the fridge and it was fine. We were only a few minutes away from family. We came up to visit family. We are a family of 7 and it seemed very spacious for us. We would book again!

First family vacation

We stayed for four days in July. It is a lovely little cabin. The cabin is easy to find. Our toddler loves the bunk beds, and the table overlooking the river. The hostess is excellent.

Just off the beaten track with a super view and amenities

Easy to find and check in. Had everything we needed to have a cozy Spring weekend. Just the right amount of space. No traffic on the short road and easy access to the river, Hodenpyl Dam, and lots of National Forest trails. Short jump to Mesick for groceries and gas was very convenient. Felt very safe and the price fit our family budget nicely. Thank you, KimMe!

Cute little cabin

We rented the house to stay in during the Buckley Old Engine Show which was only 5 min away. The house itself was cute, with the back porch and living room overlooking the Manistee River. The house has all the essentials and so peaceful! The bedrooms and bathroom are a little outdated but everything was so accessible and clean. Checking in and out was a breeze! So glad we stayed here!

Cozy cabin

Great location if you want to be away From inner city noise. Awesome back porch and hang out spot. inside the cabin was decent the kitchen was fully equipped to cook the bedrooms were decent noticed a lot of insects in the house I’m guessing due to it being in the woods also has well water so other then that for the price you can’t beat it. I plan on staying again in October.

Decent location for travel to Traverse City

The access to the river was wired shut and very overgrown, so there was no kayaking. The air conditioning was a small square tower type fan, not a real A/C unit so the house was a bit too hot for sleeping.

Short stay, good times

We were there just for the night after a cold, windy and wet color tour. The property was clean and stocked with unexpected items. I had forgotten butter for breakfast, but there was a suitable alternative in the cupboard. We ended up playing one of the many games and putting a puzzle together.
