I thought it was a good value for a home base for a snowmobile trip , not a big living area to hang out in but it has 6 beds and where there to ride not hang out in the house .

Peaceful Hideaway

Small, cozy cabin. Somewhat lacking in kitchen amenities and could use a good cleaning but is comfortable and quiet. The hot tub is the best we've ever been in! The jets are fabulous! We would definitely stay here again.

I enjoyed my weekend away in a quiet northern MI cabin. The hot tub was very relaxing. The cabin has a lot of potential but needs a deep clean. Host was very responsive.

Thank you for the review! We are always trying to improve and make your stay the best. Kind of upsets me, I just purchased that hot tub(not inexpensive) and I guess it has a small leak. Then I found out the person that stayed before you shut the power off to the hot tub..Thanks.Ed

As described, rustic cabin that's perfect for outdoor activities and a very close walk to the beach (Bear Lake) which is beautiful in all seasons - we were here for my husband's IceMan race that left from Kalkaska airport and I'd recommend this location for all riders: close to the start and not too far from the finish but far enough that the restaurants are not overcrowded when you want to eat (recommend Moose & Stella's and Bear Inn) Cabin sleeps 6 but realistically, only a close couple or a family with young children can stay because bathroom and bedrooms do not have doors (separated by curtains) it was perfect for us with our small dog but if our adult daughter had come along, we would've stepped outside for her to use the facilities Hot tub is a VERY nice extra to have in all seasons, esp post race and the neighbors are extremely friendly - very nice tv/internet set up and kitchen basics As with most lake cabin, bring your own soap/shower and extra blankets - mattresses and sofa are rustic

Excellent communication from Ed. Excellent location of the property. Hot tub is in pristine condition and receives pristine maintenance. We came up for the color to tour which was spectacular. And the cool evenings spent in the hot tub was out of this world. Highly recommend.

Quaint cabin

Property description is accurate, it is quite small but serves the purpose if you are just sleeping there. We had an infant and toddler and the temps were just so low outside that we found it hard to get the cabin and bedrooms warm enough for the kids to sleep so we ended up going home early. Also the blood on the bathroom light switch should and the mouse poop on the counter hadnt been cleaned prior to arrival.

The property was grossly misrepented , we very much enjoyed the Kalkaska utv trail system. The cabin is filthy with old beds and no real heat system. Not enough towels for the four night stay. We left one day early.

Great stay for our ATV trip!

Good place if you're heading out on the trails. Our host was very responsive to us for check-in and issues. The house needed a little more cleaning, but the beds were clean and everything we needed was present. No internet was available, which we made the host aware of, but we were out on the ATV trails and passed time playing games (bring DVDs if you have to have a movie). Lots of comfortable places to sleep. The hot tub was nice and clean as well. If you have more than two people and want to play games, I suggest you bring a small portable table. We ended up playing cards on the floor, but were still comfortable. All in all, good stay and the location is perfect for accessing an ATV trailhead.

Be weary choosing this one

It was lovely but we had some things that concerned us. Thankfully i was wear shoes but i did step on a big screw on the back porch and it almost went through the shoe I was wearing. And it says 6 beds but there two in this little loft area but the latter to get up there just seemed really unsafe to climb up. And then there was an another bed but the latter to it was broken as well.

Good Afternoon Sierra I am sorry to hear you got a screw from the porch, I can't image where that come from? I am not sure to say about the loft issues your concerned with, the pictures show the ladder and the description says small cabin, I am sorry. I didn't know someone broke the ladder, we will get that addressed. thank you for the review..Ed
