Time away
We were very impressed not only by the cottage itself, but that it seemed that the hosts had thought of everything someone would need. We spent the first couple days shopping in surrounding cities. The last 2 days were spent hanging around there, walking the trails, reading, and watching movies. The amount of wildlife that showed up was awesome. Everything from squirrels to a hawk, to deer, to a nightly visit of 2 turkeys. Had some rain so the mosquitos were bad and wifi was poor at times. But all in all a very nice relaxing vacation. Thank you

Amazing family getaway
Wonderful property. Very secluded loved how clean the house was. We had everything we needed to cook with. Outside area was great for cooking on the grill and the fire pit and Edison lights. It was close enough for us to do day trips to Ludington sleeping bear dunes and Traverse City. And to come back with plenty of time to relax enjoy the two trails and the peace and quiet will definitely come back here again my wife, my 19-year-old son a 17 year old daughter, and my five year old daughter loved it. We had plenty of room. We never turned the TV on once. hung out, played cards and just listened to nature. Already miss it.

Beautiful, updated cabin on a quiet serene property. Like, I forgot how quiet this world can actually be. Wanted to take a new boat out on Tippy Dam and Falling Leaf Resort was open. Very clean with a kitchen with all the pans/utensils you could need. Thinking about a week next year. Have everything for a fire but risk was high so we chose not to. The cleaning gals left the best snacks. LOL. Yeah, they were really good!

Great location. In the woods. Could only hear the neighbors only once. Very clean. 30 minutes tops to lake Michigan, and the bird sanctuary. Tippy Dam was great. Got to see some fishermen' catch a 48ish inch sturgeon and an almost 3ft rainbow trout.

The perfect getaway for our family. This place was better than expected! My kids loved the walking trails and smores every night by the fire. The amenities were awesome. Some of the things we brought with us thinking we would need, yet again the cabin was equipped with! Fire wood available on site was a huge hit for me. We loved this place and will be back in the future many times I'm sure. Thank you for allowing us to experience this beautiful quiet and peaceful property.

Peaceful and secluded cabin
My experience with this property was top notch from the beginning. The property is absolutely beautiful and my friend and I loved the short drive back to the cabin through the woods. You feel as though you are in the middle of the forest yet you are not that far from other properties. We were pleasantly surprised with how wonderful the cabin itself was; the photos do not do justice for this place!! It was perfect for the two of us! The place was very clean and we were impressed with the job the hosts did to ensure we would have everything we needed. There was a cute welcome basket with a few snacks( chips, popcorn etc) and there was also a great little coffee setup with all the essentials. We also loved that in the bathroom there were little travel sized shampoos, conditioners, lotion and so on. You can tell that the hosts want to ensure a wonderful stay for their guests. Another wonderful surprise was that there were bikes in the shed for us to use ( the tires could use a little air) and so we enjoyed a nice little bike ride up and down the street which was quiet and safe. We also enjoyed the trails that were layed out on the property. They were labeled with a color coordinated system to ensure ease of following. The trail wad a little overgrown and probably needs to be recut but it was nothing we couldn’t handle. The fire pit was a nice touch as well, with easy access to cut wood and kindling and also chairs and tables for sitting around and enjoying the fire. The one thing I would make sure people know is once you are at the property you aren’t very close to food/restaurants/stores so just make sure you have all that you need for the stay. We spent time making the drive up to sleeping bear National park(only about an hour; we took the slightly longer scenic route) and it was well worth the day trip. We spent time sight seeing, making the dune climb, and swimming in the lake when we found an amazing little cutoff to the beach that was pretty secluded. Overall we had the MOST AMAZING weekend and are so thankful for our time at this cabin. 10/10 I would recommend this place and will for sure be returning for another visit!!
