Wonderful isolated getaway
The place is beautifully maintained, very clean, and in a lovely location. The appliances are all modern and top-notch, and everything is very comfortable. I visited in February, and after a day out hiking in the snow with a camera, the hot tub was great to come home to. If you're looking for a primitive cabin, this is not it, but if you're looking for great comfort and modern convenience in a very secluded location, near lots of beautiful nature preservers and woodlands, you'll love it here.

Very nice place!
The house was well stocked and extremely clean. Plenty of steaming hot water. The hot tub was fantastic, kitchen had everything we needed, and the location was perfect for what we were looking for. The road traffic was a bit more loud than what were were used to and we closed the windows to help with that. It was a great stay and we will definitely check it out again the next time we are in the area!

Family vacation
Lovely property! Very clean and well maintained. Would definitely stay here again. Even saw a deer family and turkeys in the back yard. About 60-90 minutes away from bigger attractions that we wanted to do, but it gave us opportunity to see more of Michigan! If you've never been to Mackinac island, we would highly recommend going there and renting bikes. We had the most fun doing that and enjoying all the little shops there.

Rare jewel retreat!
We could not have asked for a more delightful place to stay. We loved everything about this home—cozy, clean, well decorated, thoughtful details. We loved relaxing around the fire and in the hot tub. Beautiful surrounding!
