Clean and cozy, but we didn’t realize that it’s a duplex. We had a great stay when the other side wasn’t occupied. You can hear every little sound through the wall.

To my surprise this was the exact same cabin we stayed in a couple years ago. In fact I didn’t realize this when I booked my stay. The new log structure is really impressive we can’t wait to see the rest of the improvements. The only thing I could add is parking in front of the cabin kind of block other vehicles trying to squeeze through. I do believe in the summer we parked on the side of the cabin in the grass. Maybe you could make that a more permanent parking space and plow it in the winter so people know to park there. We can’t wait to come back!

We were pleasantly surprised to find a well stocked kitchen with a refrigerator and gas stove. The only thing we missed was a tea kettle to heat up water for tea, and there was no saucepan. We made due with the stock pot supplied. It was clean and comfortable. We appreciated being able to bring our dog. The grounds were pet friendly and relaxing.

Had an outstanding time. The cabin was excellent. The heating/cooling unit worked great for keeping the whole place comfortable. Everything was clean, and well maintained. Lots of open area to park, and a beautiful natural pavilion at the entrance. Suggest you bring lawn chairs, a blackstone griddle, and corn hole and enjoy the scene. 20 minutes or less from the boat launch in Manistee. We’ll be back. Everything was as expected or better. No complaints!
Tight Lines!

The host had great contact with us and answered all my questions. The place was very clean and was stocked with enough pans dish soap dish sponge It was good. Needed another blanket for the beds It was chilly and they weren't that comfy. Coffee pot didn't work, could have been me. Used the oven, it had uneven temp for cooking and burnt 1/2 the food. Lol It was an experience. But was very glad we had a place to stay that was clean and warm.

Combination to lock

The step for the porch needs another step. Small ants at door and kitchen.combination of the door was a joke, under the bench was a combination with 4 digits, they texted me a 6 digit code, didn’t work; called vbo talk to them they called the hostess, found out that the door had a combination which didn’t show the keypad and had another combination that worked. Called the hostess twice and he didn’t answer for the tv and internet and he never did he called me back and I asked for him to call ASAP. Nothing and need to check into yet but why was the price go up. Forgot to tell you we found a dead mouse and the grass was up to our knees and comb web. Not happy!
