This cabin was just what we were looking for. The cabin is cozy and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom is small, but very functional. The towels were great. There is alot of seating areas inside and out. I did not do any cooking because I had pre-made some meals and we just had to reheat everything. All and all I would highly recommend this cabin. Elly was very easy to communicate with.

This property was exactly what we were looking for…a quiet place to get away from a busy lifestyle. We stayed here for a couple days while exploring Ludington. Stay here if you are ever in the area. You won’t be disappointed. Great communication from the host as well. If we get back to the area we will definitely stay here again.

I booked the Red Cabin for a 3 day fishing trip with my son. The cabin was great. It is stocked with everything you need - if you forget anything, it's probably there. There is plenty of room inside. Very comfortable bed. Nice TV for watching Sunday night football. Super clean! Good proximity to Long lake and the PM river. Amazing fire pit with lots of seasoned wood.Elly was a great host - quick and easy to communicate with. Overall 10 out of 10!

This is a cute,clean property . Very well- stocked with everything you will need and more. Elley is a great hostess. It was in the 90s when we were there and I had my doubts that one window air conditioner would be sufficient,but it was. Thank you,Elly

This was the perfect little quiet getaway cabin! The cabin was incredibly clean and well-stocked with the listed amenities. The king-size bed was very comfortable, and that bedroom had a quaint, relaxing theme. The location was perfect for our intended event in Manistee, but we also enjoyed being close to Ludington. We enjoyed the option to kayak on the nearby lake and the yard setup for activities.One of the selling points for us was that this cabin is down a paved road! We were in the area for a car show, so it was nice not to have to travel down a dirt road to get to the cabin for our stay. The hosts were very communicative about the check-in process and willing to be of assistance should we have needed it. We will definitely add this cabin to the top of our list for rebooking when we come back next June.

The Red Cabin Retreat was a 1st Class wxperience and exceeded our expectations on every count. The property was inviting, spotless and had everything we could want to ensure we were both entertained and able to relax. I highly recommend this particular property for anyone looking to truly escape the crowds and noise of the hotel chains.

Another pleasant stay!

This is our second time staying at the cabin and it was just as nice as the last. The cabin has everything you need and communication with the owner is always great. Neighborhood is nice and quiet so after a long day in downtown Ludington, it’s nice to come back to the peace and quiet.
