Weekend Getaway

We had a wonderful weekend. We were impressed with the cleanliness of cabin & plenty of room ( & beds) for the whole family. The ATV trails are close by so we could ride for a while then go back to cottage and relax. We highly recommend & Hope to stay again next year.

Great place to stay!

Loved the property! We stayed with six adults and four kids and it was the perfect size for our group. The place was clean and had everything we needed. The Lakes of the North area offered an indoor pool perfect for the kids and there was also a lake with a small beach area. We also brought our UTV and had access to the trails basically at the end of the driveway - it was perfect and would definitely stay again!

The house was awesome and exactly as described. It also had a ton of room for parking. Our favorite part was that it was tucked away from others. Will definitely come back.

Winter weekend getaway

Upon arrival the house was very easy to check into, and clean and ready for us! We had 4 families stay here, 8 adults and 8 children, and the space was perfect for everyone. We had a couple questions and the host was very quick to respond and was very helpful! It’s about 30 minutes to Boyne Mountain, and the access to the Lakes of the North clubhouse was awesome as the kids had a blast swimming! Will rent here again!

GOOD TIMES WITH THE FAM

Very NICE cabin secluded in the woods. Not far to Boyne where we did the sky bridge. Went to Mackinaw City for the day. Not too far from Traverse City, Charlevoix and Petoskey. My kids went to fireworks in Charlevoix and said they were pretty good. Great communication from host.

Great Place to Stay!

This was a great place to stay if you're looking for privacy and seclusion. The cabin was very comfortable and inviting. We felt like we were alone in the woods, but we were within 20 minutes of dining, groceries, gas, etc. The cabin is located in the middle of all the places you would want to visit. We took day trips tp Boyne Mountain, Petoskey, Mackinaw City, and Cheboygan. we also were content with spending a few days just hanging around the cabin. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful setting

We enjoyed our stay here so much. We had 3 generations of our family from 4 to 68 and 2 choc. labs. Lots of room for the dogs to run and explore. The property is secluded and surrounded by nature. ATV trails right down the road. Our host was very accommodating and responded right away to our questions.
