Great Cabin Great Location!

This adorable and comfortable log cabin was in a perfect spot - close to tubing/kayaking, beaches, all the best up north towns, Platte Lake, etc! Check in was super easy, cabin was clean, didn’t need anything while we were there, but the owner had all their info if we had needed them. There were plenty of beds, a well stocked kitchen, and a nice fire pit for s’mores. Would definitely stay again!

Cozy and Relaxing

This was a really cute cabin that had such a homey vibe and was very inviting. We felt very comfortable and loved the layout. We were able to have our own space which was really nice and allowed us all to relax. The kitchen is my favorite room and it was nice to have all the tools I needed to cook and be in the center of everything. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay again when back in the area.

Vacation

We enjoyed our stay and were within a short drive to several little towns and activities. The backyard was great for hanging out after a long day and had plenty of firewood. We ate in a lot and the kitchen and eating area was great. The only things that would improve this place would be better lighting and more linens do to no available laundry room. Overall we had a great stay.

Sharp, rustic, comfortable

Great cabin that looks better in person then it even does in photos. Very clean, well stocked. Excellent Wifi. Awesome location to tour the Leelanau/Traverse area. Nice fire pit in back yard, plenty of parking, 2 lakes within walking distance. If I had to nit pick: bring some fans if it's warm. Otherwise, an excellent job.

This was our first time to Michigan and Sleeping bear, great access to the dunes and an adorable place. Had all we needed besides air conditioning, but it was extremely warm while we were there and we are from Maryland so we are very use to having air conditioning. Host quickly responded any issues and was a pleasure to deal with, thank you for letting us rent your place, we had a great time!

Sleeping Bear Dunes Get-away

The property met our expectations as listed. It was a comfortable place to relax after each days' adventures to Sleeping Bear Dunes, visiting the nearby lighthouses, tubing in the Platte River or miniature golfing during our short trip. The cabin had what we needed to eat a few meals in and refresh ourselves for the next day's activities. The hosts were very accommodating and made the check-in and check-out procedures easy and they were very attentive to any questions or concerns that we had. We would stay again if we are in the area.

Really sweet place with all the creature comforts of home in a beautiful area. We hired trails in Sleeping Bear Dunes, hung out on the sandy shores of Lake Michigan, and kayaked the Lower Platte River. Delightful stay!

28th Anniversary trip

We just got home today from a long weekend at this great place. The host is very responsive, the place was spotless and well equipped, although no AC or accessible washer & dryer, which for us was not a concern as it was perfect weather and it was a short stay so no laundry was needed. We enjoyed exploring the local part of the national lakeshore. There is some great hiking trails and Peterson beach was perfect. It’s a convenient drive to the Glen Arbor area and Frankfort. We will be back.

Michigan cabin

We had a great stay in this cabin for our adventures in Michigan. It was perfect for our family of 6, and a good central location for kayaking the Platte River and hanging out on the Lake Michigan beaches. We heard loons every night while enjoying a bonfire in the backyard. The kitchen was stocked well for all our needs, and even charcoal was provided for the grill. We loved the "rustic" cozy living room! We didn't have a single problem or complaint and fully enjoyed our stay.

Another great stay

This is our second time staying on the property. It is so clean and has been kept up well. It is one of the most well stocked VRBOs we have stayed at. Beautiful area of Michigan to explore and quiet setting. I think you will have a pleasant stay. We hope to be back again sometime.

Family Getaway

My family of 4 stayed in this property for a weekend getaway. We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the space. There was lots of room for our little family, and the space would comfortably hold more if the kids had wanted to bring a friend. The beds were very comfortable. We were a little disappointed that the only TV in the home did not have any streaming options as we did not bring a laptop or our own streaming device. But we were able to find some DVDs locally and had a movie night instead. Overall, we were pleased with our stay and would recommend this property to others.

Great Cabin near Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes

Myself and a group of friends spent three nights at this cabin. The cabin is at a great location and the cabin was surprisingly large and accommodating. Peter is a great host and the cabin was in great order for the stay. The one downside for me was the lack of bed sheets, and given the expensive cleaning fee I found that a little disappointing. Despite that one small thing, I highly recommend this cabin. It was a great home in a beautiful area

It’s an older log cabin with some upgrades and a lot of character. It was well stocked with everything we needed to cook meals and relax in comfort. There’s numerous activities in the area especially outdoors. We hope to stay there again.

Nice rustic cabin

I was looking for something rustic, warm and cozy. This was a step back in time but fit the bill perfect and was in a good location for seeing all the things we wanted to. Checkin process with Peter was great and communications back and forth. the cabin was clean and had plenty of room for us 3. You could sleep 6 here in beds. Fire pit out back is nice and there was plenty of wood to light a nice fire. Close to The Trading Post which has lots of essentials and many nonessentials. We liked our stay.

Cool log cabin

First time in a log cabin ( main room in house) very cool indeed. other bedrooms and kitchen, eating area was an add-on once upon a time. Outside fireplace was nice to have. One bathroom which was dated but fully functional. During the hot days you needed all windows and doors open because air flow is limited. Provided fans helped but we even brought some additional fans of our own which I would also recommend. Basically the cabin in located in a wooded area with big trees. Short walk to little platte lake but swimming is recommended via a short dive to many other options which include some very pretty beaches. I Recommend buying season or lifetime parking pass for all parks and beaches, you will need them. 50’s diner nearby excellent. Small grocery nearby also very good. Owner was accessible by phone and very helpful. Plenty of fresh corn nearby. Oh and do NOT forget to stop at the small BBQ place called Jim’s joint. Outstanding food and people.
