Great little place to stay with a small family or by yourself. It’s about 15 minutes from Crystal Mountain, 25 minutes from the Sleeping Bear Dunes overlook, and around 25 minutes from the Crystal River. The host also has lots of fun movies and games in case you get stuck inside with bad weather.
The cabin was everything needed for a weekend of memories. The host,Amy left a few suggestions of things to do and see. Which made for a perfect time. The kitchen was stocked with everything that was needed for preparing snacks or meals. We will stay here again.
We had an amazing time . The cabin is a home away from home. It’s beautiful inside and out. We spent a lot of time relaxing at the fire pit. We will definitely return

Sarah, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay - we look forward to hosting your group again! Thanks for choosing the Up North Sanctuary!
Loved all the amenities and the private location. Plenty of firewood and enjoyed the cast iron pans.

Thank you for your review! So happy to learn you enjoyed your stay at the Sanctuary! If you are interested in returning yet this fall we would offer you a 20% discount (based on availability) until the end of the year. :-)
Overall everything was great, was a little out of the way and disappointed there was no access to either lake near us. Cabin was clean and comfortable, tablecloth on DR table needed to be scrubbed - it was a bit sticky! We enjoyed our stay.

Great location with close access to Lake Michigan and cute beach towns. Peaceful area for rest and relaxation. Loved sitting on the front porch with a good cup of coffee.

Thanks so much, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to hosting you again.
Communication with the host was prompt, easy check-in. Cabin was clean and met our needs. We missed the part of the listed that stated there was no A/C, but thats on us. Listing also showed pictures of beach access, but all of these locations were outside of walking distance. Again, something we may have missed about the listing. Overall, we had a great stay and enjoyed our time.

Thanks for your input, I will review the listing and clarify the location of beaches to avoid confusion in the future. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed your stay - Thank you for choosing the Santucary!
The cabin was clean and comfy. We hunted rocks, climbed the dune, shopped, watched sunsets, hiked -- and enjoyed our stay!
Everything we did was within a reasonable driving distance

Thanks Karen! Glad your group enjoyed your time here. We look forward to hosting again.
We really enjoyed our stay! The cabin was exactly as we expected. The lack of A/C didn’t bother us due to the many fans provided. I really appreciate the response speed and recommendations from Amy! We would definitely consider staying here again and recommend it to others.

Thanks Lydia, so glad you enjoyed your stay!
We look forward to seeing you again!
The property was clean, comfortable, and a great time. Almost any and all spices and kitchen equipment you could want in the kitchen. No wifi provided an opportunity to disconnect and hang out. Close to the Dunes. Would recommend staying here.

Rustic cabin in one of the world's most beautiful areas
Great location to use at basecamp to explore some of Michigan's most wonderful lakeshores and many other natural features. The cabin was clean and well-appointed with a full kitchen and a fantastic fire pit. We were here to fish, so we only used the cabin late in the evenings but look forward staying again to take in all the amenities. Great communication, great host, great experience.

Born and raised in Traverse City, I love the area and all the opportunities for spectacular star gazing, hiking trails and walking the beaches.
Why they chose this property
The cabin is tucked in a quiet area west of Honor, near the Big Lake that provides easy access to local activities and attractions as well as a bonfire pit to gather at the end of the day and recount the days' activities and make memories.
What makes this property unique
The cabin is a short drive to many destinations and yet has a secluded feel, surrounded by woods on three sides.
