The cozy cabin was perfect for a nice get away. Beautiful front and back porch to view the sunrise or the snow fall in in winter. The natural light for the variety of windows was refreshing. Its a must see to appreciate kind of Cabin.

This is our second stay at the cabin and it was just as great as the first. It is clean, stocked with everything you could have possibly forgotten or need, and the bed is the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in. Maj-Lis is always an incredible host, and we look forward to returning!

What a beautiful place to stay while we explored a part of Michigan we weren't familiar with. Beautiful country setting. Very clean with thoughtful amenities. It is located on a busy road, but traffic noise wasn't an issue during the night. We'd highly recommend!

The property was delightful all around. The cabin is great & the temperature controls worked well. It was quiet and the only ‘visitors’ were the 3 strolling Peacocks out for their evening wander. One of the best stats I’ve had.

Wonderful setting within range of all of the northern Michigan sites and trails. Travel to Mackinac City to see the Fort or go onto the Island, or see the many State Parks for hiking and shoreline town shopping.
Close to the only Waterfalls in the lower peninsula, and also located close to Onaway park with metal art works by a local that will turn your head.
Wonderful viewing of area wildlife and I recommend the stay.

Adorable cabin that had all the amenities we needed and VERY clean. The only thing we were disappointed about was that there was no snow until our last day! We would defiantly recommend this property.
