My husband and two adult sons chose this cabin due to proximity of ice fishing on Thumb Lake. They found it to be very charming and quaint and enjoyed their stay. There were a lot of great places to eat nearby.

Thank you for a comfortable and cozy stay at your cabin. We were welcomed with the kitchen light on lighting the way. Fresh new carpet, super clean everything, very comfortable beds. We appreciate the cabin being pet-friendly too. The host was quick to respond to help us with the TV and connecting to the Michigan State football game. He Go Green! The area restaurants were great too. We look forward to future visits. We highly recommend staying here.

Perfect place to get away with everything you could need and more! We came delightfully over-prepared, this place really has everything covered and the thoughtfulness that went into preparing did not go unnoticed. Clear and easy to understand instructions and fast communication whenever needed. The property itself is beautiful, we really enjoyed walking the trail at dusk and watching for shooting stars. Thumb lake public access is right around the corner making trips back to the cabin quick and convenient. Our neightbors were friendly and welcoming which was a great added bonus.We can't wait to be back and see what Paul has planned for the future!

I am not a rustic cabin kind of gal. This cabin was rustic, yet it had nice bedding and linens. the beds were comfortable. It had a Cuisinart coffee maker! Everything seemed new quite honestly. We may be back, and this time bring our dogs!

Very clean, cozy cabin! Host was very helpful! Kitchen was small but well equipped! If you travel with young kids who never finish a meal and you dont want to waste food, bring a few tupperwares. The outdoor grill is awesome! And the trail on property is great for some early morning walks, for peace and quiet or to walk your dog! The cabin is perfect for dogs! Host has a water and food dish! My adult daughter and I came up with our two dogs to visit family was perfect for sleep, shower and to return to have a comfy home base and not tent. We have already talked about coming up again to stay longer and see more of the area! Wifi was really good so if needed to work/vaca option this would work. VRBO only allows 5 stars but this little gem is a 10! And before we got here had no idea it was 2 miles from the Whippy Dip! A place we have gone to with cousins for a very long time!!

Host was super communicative. Super helpful!! Went for a snowmobile trip - the weather didn't quite cooperate. Paul was super helpful in finding alternatives and where to go to get to trails. Left the lights on for us upon arrival after dark, kept the driveway cleared... and a whole bunch of little extras that were great. Thank you for a great stay. We hope to be back!

Want a clean cabin with a great host? Check this out. New linens and more. Not furnished from garage sales or the like. Paul was so helpful and even left us a personal, hand written note welcoming us and giving helpful info. We'll be back to this gem.
