Peaceful retreat nestled in the woods

Our family stayed at this lovely cabin last summer, and it was a perfect vacation for what we were seeking--time to reconnect with each other, to enjoy woods & water, and to slow down with books, conversation, and nature. Sylvia was thoughtful throughout our planning & stay, and I loved the little touches--from handmade mugs for morning coffee to cozy reads about the region. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Perfect cabin in the woods

We have stayed here several times over the years and the owner is always excellent about communication and helpful. It's a perfect peaceful setting in the woods. Our favorite restaurant is a bike ride away. Will definitely be back!

Wonderful vacation spot

We will definitely be staying again. Everything was exactly as we expected and more. The location is very secluded, and yet there is plenty to do within 30 minutes if you do want to venture out. This location was perfect for traveling with our dog as well.

A perfect stay in the woods!

My husband and dog stayed here with another couple and their dog for a long weekend. The home is lovely - so clean, updated, well-stocked, and nicely decorated. The setting is quiet and set in the woods with a lovely deck, porch, balcony, and yard. Communication with the host was terrific and everything was easy. This is one of the best rentals we’ve stayed at and I’d book it again in a second!

Great place to stay and explore

Stayed as a last minute trip for vacation and college visits. Was a short stay but we enjoyed it! Property is 10 minute drive to Lake Michigan and 30 minutes or less to Harbor Springs and Mackinaw City - both beautiful with plenty to see. Cabin was super clean, quiet, and peaceful!

Perfect for us

Clean, comfortable, cozy. The cabin feels like it’s at the end of the world, but it is easy to get to Petoskey and Mackinac Island. We had our two dogs with us and they loved investigating the yard, which is full of naturalized plantings and mown paths. The space was great for my husband and me, but I think it would be tight with any additional adults. This was a great getaway!

Wonderful Seclusion

Our second time staying and having the best time. The cabin is clean and cute and perfect for our family of 4. Kids love sleeping upstairs and playing outside, going for walks and just being quiet. Sturgeon Bay beach is stunning and a short pretty drive away (maybe 15 minutes). We want to come back again!

Cute and clean chalet in the woods

This chalet is the cutest thing! It is nestled in the woods. It feels like you’re in the middle of nowhere, but the gas station/market and the beach are only 5 minutes away by car. There are also a few restaurants in the vicinity but we didn’t try any. We cooked our meals onsite. It was very clean and comfortable and the owner was easily accessible. Would definitely stay again! (Please note if traveling in the winter, you will definitely need 4WD or AWD.)

Return visitors

This was our 3rd time time staying at the chalet and it was wonderful as usual. We really focused on biking this trip and had a great time hitting mountain bike and gravel trails all within a short drive (less than 20 min) or ride out from the driveway. Well appointed kitchen and cozy, thoughtfully curated interior. 4 restaurants are within a very short drive or bike ride (beware the road has a giant hill to pedal up to return if you choose to bike!): Legs Inn, Petoskey Brewing, Moosejaw Junction, and Crows Nest.

Amazing!

This cabin was perfect. We loved everything about the space and the property. Total peace and comfort. I can not recommend this place enough. Sylvia was an amazing host and went out of her way to return a much loved bear that got left behind. This is by far one of our very favorite vacation rentals ever. Cozy, clean, a nice mix of modern and rustic, and the perfect spot for exploring Northern Michigan!
