That said, we always appreciate guests letting us know during their stay so we can address anything right away.
We look forward to having you back here or another one of our Strong Getaways anytime!
We had a lovely, cozy winter visit for a few days. The pellet stove was easy to use and kept the whole house snuggly warm. The beds were comfy and the kitchen well-stocked with everything we needed. The property is so peaceful and we enjoyed hiking around in the woods and making the short drive to Ludington State Park for some gorgeous scenery and more hiking. The hot tub was also easy to use and a nice way to relax in the evening.

The coziest home for a winter getaway, it was beyond perfect! The cute A Frame was everything we wanted and more, girls weekend of laughing, relaxing, eating and binge watching trash tv by the pellet stove. Beds and furniture were comfortable, towels provided in the bathroom. Kitchen was stocked with dishware and some cooking basics. There are a few games and puzzles as well. We will totally be back in the summer to explore more- thanks for a wonderful stay! :)

Beautiful property in a great location. Such a cozy cabin. Excellent choice for a Ludington getaway. It's the perfect spot if you are traveling with a furry friend.

The house was very clean and a great stay! Hot tub was clean and easy to use. Check in and out was simple. Not necessarily lake front but was fine for what we wanted.

Very clean, hot tub was perfect, and surrounding area was beautiful. The internet wasn't available when we were there, but we were disconnecting so it was not a problem.

Super cute cabin. Was perfect for 5 of us. The location is perfect for what we wanted. No close neighbors but still close enough to town to be convenient!

This property was absolutely amazing, and just as I expected and hoped for. It had a rustic cabin feel with some modern updates. The location was perfect. It was close enough to town but quiet and in the woods. We did not use the hot tub, but enjoyed the fire pit several times.

Cabin was clean & cozy.We enjoyed having campfires & the hot tub was appreciated after long hikes @the state park.Only downfalls were that the beds/pillows were not at all comfortable & we woke up cold during the night as the pellet stove didn’t seem to keep the upstairs warm. Downstairs was perfect temp.

We are so glad you enjoyed one of our homes! We’re sorry to hear the beds weren’t quite to your liking. Each of our beds have different mattress firmness to suit a variety of preferences, and we haven’t received feedback like this before. I’ll reach out to you privately to learn more.
As for the pellet stove, it sounds like something may not have been set correctly, as when it’s running properly, it can actually roast you out! For future reference, the home also has a furnace-style heater to keep things cozy.
We look forward to having you back here or another one of our Strong Getaways anytime :)
Great location, private, beautiful property, very clean, comfortable bed. . .would definitely stay again
