Peaceful and Relaxing Stay

We stayed for two days and had a wonderful time at the cabin. It was perfect for our family of 3. We really enjoyed touring the lake on the paddle boat. It was a relaxing and peaceful stop on our way to the UP. Carole was great. She was responsive and quickly answered all our questions. We definitely would stay here again.

Great, quiet atmosphere to decompress but still close to Traverse City. A lot of enticing outside space to explore on foot.

Definitely a hidden gem!

We enjoyed our stay at this cabin and were very pleased when we arrived. The property grounds were amazing and on a private lake. The pictures do not do this cabin justice! Cabin was very clean and had everything we needed for a a weeks stay. Carole is a wonderful host and this is somewhere we would stay again.

Perfect weekend getaway

Our family loved the mix of old and new at this cabin. Legit log cabin on one side and modern kitchen/bathrooms on the other. The eclectic decorations made it even more fun. We played in the lake, saw some amazing sunsets and even got to see the northern lights just down the street. It was relaxing and quiet which is just what we were looking for.

Unique, interesting cabin in paradise.

My husband and I, with my son, daughter-in-law, and 22 month old granddaughter loved this cabin. It was challenging with a toddler but we had a wonderful week. Carole, the host, is extremely friendly and helpful.

Cozy Cabin Review

Idyllic setting for a relaxing getaway. An off the beaten path gem close enough to local sites of interest for an easy day trip drive, if desired. Carole is a very gracious host to work with on check in an out. My one minor request would be better lighting in the bathrooms, especially the lower, but otherwise a really lovely cabin!

Perfect get away during peak colors

This family cabin recently renovated was everything we were hoping for. On a lake with views of the Fall colors. We fished, went for long walks and relaxed by the fire. Carole our host was gracious and made sure our stay was comfortable. We will definitely come back. This location is a real treasure for those who want peace and quite.

Simply the best

This place is awesome. I don’t think I can say enough good things to do it justice. A beautiful lake just outside the back door, kayaks and a row boat available, nice dock, plenty of fish in the lake to help beginners learn (and get some easy catches), great communication, comfortable cabin with everything you might need from pots/pans to shampoo, thoughtful detail surrounding the updating of the property! Plus so many more amenities. We can’t wait to go back!

Enchanting Lakeside Chalet

We stayed at this charming chalet for 12 days in early fall and were absolutely enchanted. Nestled by the lake on a secluded 300-acre privately-owned property, the chalet offers breathtaking views and endless tranquility. Our dogs had the time of their lives exploring the trails in the surrounding woods. Every part of the day revealed its unique beauty, and on our last night, we were lucky enough to witness the Northern Lights, which illuminated the sky with their mesmerizing colors for hours. It was truly magical. This place is a nature lover's paradise! We are deeply grateful for the warm hospitality and the unfounforgettable experience. experience.
