Many laughs will be had with the variety of board games, the karaoke machine and playing a round of poker. The kiddos will love the kid camp in the loft and the arcade machines in the game room.

From the moment you walk into this cozy well equipped cabin, you will feel right at home with the open concept livingroom, kitchen and dining room.

Upstairs in the open loft area, the kiddos will find hours of entertainment in the "Black Bear Cub Camp" They can build a "fire", roast "marshmallows," have a picnic with the forest themes stuffed animals friends, fish, and read the Michigan themed kids books. There are also two queen beds and a cozy sitting area.

The walkout basement is full of entertainment! There is wall Tic Tac Toe, Connect Four, oversized Jenga, ring toss and Karaoke!

Relax and enjoy the outdoors on either covered deck/patio! The upstairs patio has comfortable cushioned seating with a couch and four rocking chairs. The downstairs patio has two glider-rockers and is the designated smoking area.

If you love spending time outdoors, you will have a blast playing corn hole, ladderball and bocce ball! If relaxing is more your style, enjoy a book in the hammock swings under the hot tub pavilion or soak in the new eight-person hot tub.

2024 Family, Freinds gathering

Several family members and friends gather this time every year not only to hunt but to catch up with our lives. This home was a wonderful place for our gathering! It was clean, updated and spacious. The bedrooms were large clean and comfortable. The hot tub was large and It was awesome to have towels and sandals provided. The game room was also amazing as it brought a lot of fun and laughter during our stay. It was also great having two large areas to gather and watch the Lions play football. Because of the weather we really didnt get a chance to use the fire pit but there was enough chairs and plenty of wood provided. Big upper and lower porches with plenty of seats with a very nice grill! The kitchen was well equipped with most anything you needed to prepare your meals with and had a large table to eat at. I was very impressed with this home as well as the other people in our group who asked for the contact info. We will most definitely stay here again.

Perfect!

We came up for a family 4-wheeler trip and we were not disappointed! The cabin was clean and fully stocked with every amenity you would need. The outside area was perfect for late night fires and hot tub. Very quiet area close to the tin cup ORV trails. About a 20 minute drive to Little O trail head. We will be back!

Excellent and Cozy Cabin in the Woods

This cabin is excellent and perfect for families large or small. It was very clean, well stocked, and thoughtfully designed. All beds were very comfortable and the furniture high end. Everything about our stay was easy and comfortable. The outdoor space was so much fun, everything you need to entertain all ages. Our dog loved the property! The hosts even provide fire wood for the wonderful fire ring. The hot tub was super nice, clean, easy to use, and so enjoyable after a long day hiking. Would give this rental 6 stars if I could. So many small details were thought out and provided. My family will most definitely be back! The host was wonderful! Very communicative

Perfect location to tuck away

This place is the perfect location to tuck away for a weekend of trail riding or just exploring the Baldwin area. Conveniently located to so many trails and the home’s accommodations are perfect for relaxing after a day of riding.
