If you like seclusion this is the place. Nice house, with walking trails on property, good location, only 5 minutes from town, 10 minutes from dog friendly beaches, 20 minutes from Manistee. We would stay here again.

Lovely Property & Stay
I stayed here for about four nights with my partner and made a somewhat last minute decision to book, but the experience and communication was wonderful. The directions and given explanation was perfect and the home was so nicely maintained, so it felt cozy and away from the world while also so accessible and updated for anyone who doesn't want a "rustic" experience - you could tell Edie's father put so much love and care into the home.

Lovely Getaway in the Woods
This house in the woods is a gem. It is very clean and well kept. All the kitchen appliances are nearly new. The art on the walls throughout the house is attractive. The owner provided many amenities such as books, fire pit, sauna, and a two-person jet tub.The large kitchen had sufficient dishes and cookware. We used it for a long weekend to view the trees in Autumn colors. Although the house is secluded, it is not far from Manistee, Lake Michigan, and various hiking trails. The house and setting exceeded our expectations.

Peaceful cabin in the woods
This cabin was perfect! Nice, clean and modern made this a very relaxing place to stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the jacuzzi tub and sauna, with cozy beds and furniture for lounging. Our favorite part was the 30 acres with trails ... not a neighbor in sight! Highly recommended!

Not as expected
Wood box for sauna was empty and directions in the booklet were not accurate as to where to find the wood. Finally got ahold of owner through Vrbo and she got someone out there. Be aware that the pet deposit is a fee and even if dogs don’t shed you still have to pay it. Also place sleeps 6 but have to pay additional fee over 3 people even if 4th is a baby. Not happy with the stay since lawn was not cut and also had to ask for more wood for outside fire pit

Highly recommended.
The house and property were amazing. Spotless, had everything we needed or would want in the kitchen, bathroom, etc. The trails were well kept, beautiful, and just enough up and down to wear us out. lol. Our only negative, is that the internet was a little slow after 5pm each day. If you plan on streaming TV, bring an alternative. I'm sure that is a common issue in this area though. The views more than made up for it!
