Great getaway but needed AC

We had a wonderful time at the property. It is in a nice location a short drive to Lake Michigan. The outside area was nice for a big group, fire pit, and large are to sit and visit and play games. We came during one of the hottest days of the year with temps 90, so no AC was very difficult for sleeping in the upstairs areas. I’m guessing it’s comfortable most of the year it just happened to be extremely hot during our stay.

Great stay!

This house was great for our family of 11. We had plenty of room and the outdoor deck/lawn space was perfect! It was also very secluded from neighbors.

We absolutely loved this homey cabin in the woods. Would book again summer or winter. Great quiet location at the end of the road.

Family Time At The Cabin

Great property in a peaceful, semi-remote location. We enjoyed the fire pit, spacious kitchen, ample sleeping room, and proximity to the river, Crystal Mountain, and Manistee.
