Amazing family getaway
Wonderful property. Very secluded loved how clean the house was. We had everything we needed to cook with. Outside area was great for cooking on the grill and the fire pit and Edison lights. It was close enough for us to do day trips to Ludington sleeping bear dunes and Traverse City. And to come back with plenty of time to relax enjoy the two trails and the peace and quiet will definitely come back here again my wife, my 19-year-old son a 17 year old daughter, and my five year old daughter loved it. We had plenty of room. We never turned the TV on once. hung out, played cards and just listened to nature. Already miss it.

Quiet and serene 24/7
Beautiful, updated cabin on a quiet serene property. Like, I forgot how quiet this world can actually be. Wanted to take a new boat out on Tippy Dam and Falling Leaf Resort was open. Very clean with a kitchen with all the pans/utensils you could need. Thinking about a week next year. Have everything for a fire but risk was high so we chose not to. The cleaning gals left the best snacks. LOL. Yeah, they were really good!

Nice quiet place
Great location. In the woods. Could only hear the neighbors only once. Very clean. 30 minutes tops to lake Michigan, and the bird sanctuary. Tippy Dam was great. Got to see some fishermen' catch a 48ish inch sturgeon and an almost 3ft rainbow trout.
