We loved this place! The cabin was beautifully decorated and SO clean. We enjoyed the isolated location and proximity to the river. After a day of exploring around northern Michigan, this was a wonderful place to come home to. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the morning watching the birds and gazing at the beautiful stars at night. We will be back!

fly fishing adventure

We had a great time staying at this cabin in the woods. It was on a great remote spot on the Upper manistee river. The location was ideal for ease of access to world class fly fishing.

A Very Nice Getaway

My family and I really enjoyed our time here. A great location for everything "Up North", spent time at Hartwick Pines, Gaylord, Grayling, Otsego Lake, and Charlevoix all in a four day weekend as it was conveniently located to all. After spending the day out it was great to come back and relax while kids played about. Very impressed and would recommend.

Another perfect vacation!

This was our second consecutive year staying at this property. We love the seclusion and tranquility it provides our family. The kids played in the woods and we kayaked the river launching directly in front of the house. The fires at night were excellent and the stars were out in abundance. We had a fantastic vacation!

We had a fantastic time at this property. It was very remote and quiet. We were able to relax, play, and cool great foods. It was everything we needed for a weekend away and out in the woods. Cheers.
