Perfect Little Getaway

This property was perfect for my husband and I. We had everything we needed for meals in the kitchen and plenty of linens. Our dogs enjoyed the small side yard. Check in was easy, and the whole place was immaculate. Super cute and cozy! Thank you for a great stay!

Clean, Quiet, Friendly and Cozy !

My wife & i enjoyed our stay very much. The place was clean, well stocked & the bed was very comfy. Doug, our host was very accommodating. We had plenty of privacy and felt right at home the entire stay. We would definitely recommend the Hummingbird house.

Stay at Hummingbird house

When we first pulled up I was a little concerned because there were other places nearby and I thought it was more secluded, but once I went in and saw how clean it was and the beautiful view and privacy outback I didn't have any concerns. It was a beautiful place to stay and very peaceful and very close to all we wanted to do. I would stay here again if we're ever in the area and can book it.

Hummingbird House

We enjoyed our stay. The home was decorated so cute, location was great and super clean! We had a fire every night and also saw a deer. We come up to Michigan once or twice a year to visit family and will stay here again.

Perfect Pint Size Cabin

This cabin has all the creature comforts a family AND pet could ask for except a fenced yard, though there is plenty of room to improvise a dog run with the right supplies. Amazingly decorated, down to the paint and dishes, while being completely efficient and functional. Close to many trails and forests no shortage of outdoor adventures to get to in under an hour. We will visit again!

Quiet little getaway

Had a great stay at the hummingbird house. Everything was very clean and the decor was cohesive right down to the dishes. Very private setting even though you have neighbors on both sides and behind. The bed was super comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed watching the wildlife in the marsh of the used to be lake. We even saw a Merlin Falcon and a Bald Eagle. Definitely a high light. We would certainly stay here again without hesitation

Quaint Stay at the Hummingbird

Don't judge a book by it's cover and the past reviews are accurate. When you drive up to the Hummingbird you might be less then impressed, but once you get in the unit it is well decorated, very charming and quaint little property. Great views of what used to be the Sanford Lake and we were treated to a couple of great sunrises. The property is small, so it is great for 2 people and your dog, beyond that it would be a tight squeeze. The property has everything that you would need for an enjoyable stay.
