Great for a large group with plenty of seating and sleeping space. The place was clean with many of the necessary amenities provided such as dishes, towels, TP, soap, detergent and dish washing liquid. The house was located 20 mins from downtown TC and about an hour to Sleeping Bear Dunes.

We were very pleased! This was a terrific place for our family to stay to experience time together. Everything was as described. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, glassware, mugs, silverware and cooking gear for 18 people. We utilized the fire circle, outdoor eating areas, and game room in the garage. We enjoyed the outdoor swings while sitting listening to the variety of birds. We would definitely stay here again and encourage others to also.

We had an incredible stay at this cabin in Traverse City. The property was exactly what we were looking for—spacious, comfortable, and surrounded by the beauty and tranquility of the woods.The cabin easily accommodated our group, with plenty of room to relax, and enjoy our time together. Everything was clean and well-maintained.The host, Katie, was exceptional—responsive, helpful, and made the entire experience seamless. She even stopped by to welcome us and give some history on the cabin. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with plenty of space for a large group, this is the perfect spot. We made some great memories here and are already talking about coming back for another adventure. Highly recommended!

The house is very nice and was well-suited to our large group. The outdoor space is great too. The porch and gazebo both have lots of good seating, as does the fire pit area.

Awesome!

We go up to northern Michigan every year to go ride the motorcycle trails. Uncle Don's cabin is definitely one of the nicest places we've stayed at. Tons of room, everything you need and right down the road from the trailhead. We would definitely recommend!

Birthday Party Get away

Despite not doing planned activities due to lack of snow we had a great time. The cabin was very well designed for a large group and very warm and welcoming. We also enjoyed the beautiful wooded walking trails right near the house.

The house was better in person than represented in the pictures. Everything was extremely clean. There was plenty of room for our crew to spread out and enjoy the amenities. Would definitely love to go stay again.

One of my all time for a vacation spot. The cabin provided lots of space for everyone both inside and outside. The beds and furniture were plentiful and very - very comfy. We had fun in the game room; fun around the fire pit and no one buried their heads in their cell phones and I-pads (that was a huge success). We all engaged one another when together. One of our best vacations ever. Will be back.

Lovely Quiet Cabin!

We booked for family to stay for a wedding that was just 7 minutes away. Location, size, and the large wooded area made it a great choice for us. Space for kids to run and play. Katie was quick to reply to all questions. The location is beautiful! It was our first time to Michigan, and this accommodation made it perfect!

Cousins reunion

This was the perfect spot in the Traverse City area for a family gathering. Superior outdoor areas for talking, fires, eating, etc. Numerous sleeping areas with bathrooms. Workout room and chapel. Kitchen a little on the small side, but more than adequate dining space. Quiet and scenic. Highly recommend. Home was well stocked and host was readily available.

Michigan family vacation

The property is beautiful and perfect for large families or groups to stay together. The cabin is fully equipped with everything you need. Katie was wonderful! Gave us a lot of great recommendations for things to do, places to eat, etc. Very prompt in responding to any questions we had. You get the best of both with this cabin. Far enough out for privacy, but not too far from town. We will hopefully be using this rental again in the future.

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin! It is all it appears to be, and more! It is on over 100 acres of privately owned forest land, and is just a 12 minute drive to a gas station and not much farther for restaurants and beaches! The game room kept the children occupied for HOURS every morning, so the adults had quiet time. The kitchen seating is AWESOME. A table with 14 chairs, and another table with six more chairs! Nice, cozy couch and easy chairs in the living room. We had 15 of us and always plenty of room for everyone!! Great movie spot!The bedrooms are small, but cozy and the beds are comfortable. House is decorated in woodsy fashion - so cute!! No bugs or spiders. It was amazing, and I am longing to go back!! Thank you to Ken and owners!(word of warning: there are bears! We didn't see them until the last day. They kept their distance!)

Uncle Don’s Cabin was great!

Easy communication with owner. Very clear instructions re: check in. The home is beautiful and is even better than described on VRBO. Plenty of room for our crew of 14-17 people (depending on the day). We had ages ranging from 2 to 78 years old. The living room was a popular hang out location - the kitchen is centralized between dining spaces and living room, so communicating with family was super easy. The fire pit and adjacent gazebo were popular in the evenings. We used Bluetooth speakers to play owl calls at night (from YouTube) and could hear them respond - fun for all ages to experience. The cabin is remote but gas/groceries are easy 15-20 minute drive away at most. Nearby Brown Bridge boat launch would be an awesome spot for a kayak/canoe trip down the Boardman River (next time we will bring kayaks). There’s an impressive trail network around the boat launch - well marked and maintained trails of varying lengths. The boat launch is a 1.25 mile walk down the quiet road from the cabin. All NW Michigan attractions are within 45-50 minute drive of cabin - we did Sleeping Bear Dunes/Glen Arbor/Leelenau Peninsula/Old Mission Peninsula/Front Street in TC/Torch Lake/kayaking on Platte River/biking on Heritage Trail twice/TC beaches. Washer/Dryer were great. AC worked (but didn’t really need it due to cooler evenings - yay!). Saw several deer on property throughout the week. Wrap around porch was nice place to sit while the teens played catch. Buy firewood nearby

It will be difficult to stay somewhere other than Uncle Don’s Cabin, as we were quite spoiled by this experience. Beautiful, spacious, welcoming cabin; quiet setting - close to town but very much felt “away from it all”. The game room was a bonus for the kids - big and small kids alike! Communication with our host was outstanding and they went above and beyond to respond quickly, helping us with activities, directions and any question we asked. Highly recommended and if we were to return to the area, it would be our first - and only - choice where to stay!
