Thanksgiving Getaway
This was a perfect cabin for a Thanksgiving weekend getaway. Nice size and amenities for 6 people (4 adults, 2 kids, could definitely fit 2 more). Loved the fireplace and cozy living area. Also close to Arcadia and Manistee for day trips, we even jumped in Bear Lake in November! Would recommend for any good getaway on a lovely lake and would like to visit again in the spring or summer!

Can't wait to come back
Our weekend was planned for golf however due to weather enjoyed lots of other things. Distilleries, casinos and bar food experience. The Den is a great place for views. We had a camp fire and enjoyed many laughs amongst friends. Looking forward to our next stay.
