Great private getaway!

My family and I stayed here for our ski trip to Chrystal mountain, and it was a we fly as described. Very private with 30 acres and the cabin was super cozy! We spent most of our time in the cozy den downstairs with the fire on and watching the snow fall. Exactly what we were looking for and appreciated the stay.

White Christmas

We spent the Christmas Holiday at this house with our black lab. It was lovely. It snowed right as we arrived, so it was absolutely beautiful. The trails were so fun to walk around while our dog ran and played. The fireplace downstairs was cozy. The hot tub and sauna were nice also. The beds were super comfortable. We will be back to check it out in Summer!

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.

Our 2nd time back!

We love this property, as it's now our second time coming. The VRBO ad listing was exactly as described. The house had a few nice changes to the furniture compared to last year. My Mom and my Son equally enjoyed the property as much as myself. We made good use of the trails with our ATV's as well! I'm definitely planning on coming back again for a third time if we can swing it next year. - Ryan Bollerud & family

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!

Hi and Welcome to Our Cabin Retreat!

I am so happy to share this special place with you! When my dad retired, he built this cabin and spent many years cultivating the land (planted over 2,000 conifers), always had a full garden, and loved to chop trees and make firewood. When he wasn’t busy outside, he spent time in his workshop creating furniture for himself and his friends. His signature piece is the handmade chess table. He also loved sitting on the porch watching his forest pets!

Why they chose this property

Perfect get away from everything ! 100% private retreat with all the amenities. Perfect for nature lovers.

What makes this property unique

Sauna, walk-in jet tub, 30 acres nature trails, 100% private. You will be the only people there.
