Alden Cabin

Cabin was nice. Clean, and well maintained. Only reason not given 5 stars was no WI-FI, or cable TV. We had a very nice time taking walks with our 3 dogs and location was close to visit transverse city and Charlevoix

Nice spot

Over all, we were satisfied with our stay although the futon and sofa were not comfortable in our opinion. We would also suggest that you bring your own water since there was a metallic taste to the water from the faucet.
