Gorgeous, Vintage, Crystal Mt Tiny Home

5 words for you...Not Your Average Tiny House...This tiny home will give you good vibes the second you pull in the driveway. The Little Wood Lodge is a vintage 1950's hunting cabin that has been reinvented into a gorgeous, meticulously detailed home that offers every amenity you could need. From the 1880's tongue and groove pine barn wood ceiling to the beautiful custom cabinets and granite countertops...comfort abounds. Situated in a soaring canopy of Oak, Maple, Elm and Pine trees, this is the escape you need.
The Little Wood Lodge is set on 8 private acres...there are "country neighbors" that you will pass by along the gravel road but no immediate neighbors to either side of our property. We are super close to some of Northern Michigan's most special places!

Our stay at the Little Woods Lodge VRBO was absolutely wonderful, and we give it five stars without hesitation. The owner of the Little Woods Lodge VRBO Shawn was an exceptional host—and his communication was proactive, clear, and extremely accommodating from start to finish. It made our trip planning and stay completely stress-free.The Little Woods Lodge property was ideal for our needs, providing a perfect home base for exploring Northern Michigan. The location was outstanding, allowing us to easily visit the charming small towns and interesting landmarks throughout the area. We particularly enjoyed exploring the small beach communities in Leelanau County and made great use of the facilities at Crystal Mountain resort.The "tiny home/cabin" was exactly as described and perfectly suited for our getaway. We truly appreciated Shawn's hospitality and genuine effort to make our trip so enjoyable. We would highly recommend the Little Woods Lodge to anyone looking for a superb vacation experience and an outstanding host!

Incredible Tiny House

We could not be happier with our stay. Shawn was a great communicator, even offering early check in and checking on us by message to ensure we had everything we needed. There was not a single detail missing in this home. It was PERFECT! We will be returning and now i MUST build my own tiny house.

Up North Trip

Took the family of four up north for a week long vacation, stumbled upon this cabin and fell in love with it. The property was great and located near all the places we like to go, Manistee National Forest, Frankfort, Crystal Lake and the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Iron Fish Distillery was close and awsome

Charming cozy cabin

Overall this is a beautiful property. The interior was pretty darn immaculate. Hosts are amazing and super responsive. Location is very central and convenient, however the surrounding properties were a bit unexpected. We loved the carefully curated design and amenities that this property offered. We had a tiny bump in our stay but the hosts were responsive and extremely helpful.

Adorable Cabin!

The Little Woods Cabin exceeded all expectations! Everything from the location to the decor and the amenities needed while in the woods were better than we anticipated. The cabin is located with an easy distance to all that northern Michigan has to offer and the well-equipped (and cute!) cabin was the perfect spot to come back to after a day of adventures. The owner was responsive and helpful. We had a wonderful 4 days and look forward to a return visit soon. Thank You!

We had a fantastic time in this little house! It was so great to be able to get out and enjoy nature, the surrounding sites and restaurants, then come back to a quiet spot in the woods. We loved the attention to detail and decor in the house. My favorite spot was outside on the hammock to take a nap after a long trip of kayaking down the river with my family. While there, we rented bikes at Crystal Mountain, kayaked the Platte River, enjoyed the live music and mead at St. Ambrose Cellars, and ate at the Ironfish Distillery. It was a fun-filled weekend.
