Perfect winter getaway!

This place was perfect for our little family and puppies. House was clean and comfortable. The kids loved the outdoor hot tub and pool facilities after a day in the snow. Would definitely stay here again!

Lovely winter cabin get-away!

This property was just what I was hoping for when I booked a long weekend up north for a little rest and relaxation! The cabin was clean and well stocked with all the essentials to make you comfortable for your stay. My dog came with me and felt right at home with all the special touches for our four legged friend! The added bonus was th the beautiful snowfall that blanketed the foreat during our stay! And we also very much enjoyed being able to use the hot tub as well!! All around it was a 5 star weekend!

Perfect Up North central location

We enjoyed our stay in this cute home! Well stocked kitchen with everything labeled for convenience. Owners were quick to respond to questions we had during our stay and offered dinner ideas for nearby restaurants. Super quiet location but close to anywhere you want to go Up North! Hour drive to Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, or Mackinac Island.

Everything was very nice. I would put a light over the hot tub. Very nice place, the fenced in backyard was awesome to have with the 2 dogs. They loved adventuring. Would stay again!

Quiet, secluded, pet friendly.

We had a great stay at this home. Pet friendly with the home and fenced in area that is both in the front yard and back. It would be nice if the ferns in the pet area could be cut down, however that does detract from the stay. We will definitely consider this for future stays.

50th Birthday Getaway

We had a wonderful time celebrating my brother for his birthday. There were 6 of us plus our dog and the home accomodated all of us with room to spare. We LOVED the large dining table and enjoyed family dinners each night of our stay. Highly recommend, especially if you have fur babies, very accoumodating for pets.

This house is just beautiful. I have never had such a lovely stay in a rental home. It's far enough away from everything but still close! The house is amazingly clean and the owners are phenomenal! My dog loved being able to be with us! Thank you!

Up North Getaway

Home was warm and cozy! The indoor fireplace was very nice! We used the hot tub (great temp) and the fire pit (rained a lot while we were there). Everything was as expected-clean, secluded etc. Kitchen was stocked well. We utilized the clubhouse-that too was very nice on an autumn day. We are walkers - Deadman’s Hill us a nice area but so is the Pine Baron Pathway. We would definitely stay again!

Awesome place!

Home is very clean, comfortable and well appointed. The owners have thought of and provided all the amenities needed for a home away from home, especially in the kitchen. Forgot your French Press? Dont worry, they have provided one. Air fryer and crockpot too. Bed, pillows, couches, bathroom towels - all comfortable, all very clean. Would absolutely stay here again and again.

Perfect Getaway

The property was exactly as described. My husband and I had three comfortable bedrooms to choose from. The kitchen was well appointed. The living area was SO comfy. We spent a lot of time relaxing, reading and watching the Bob Ross channel there. Talk about zen! There was a fenced in backyard for the dogs but the front yard was like a beautiful park. That’s where we walked our dogs. The weather was great so we also let them stay on the front porch which we were able to close off with the gates provided. There was so much to do and see in the area. Highly recommend!
