Beautiful cabin on the Manistee River
Close to Traverse City, many two track trails, snowmobile trails, many places to launch kayaks or a boat. The cabin has a full kitchen and living room. There is a ring for a fire. Nice deck in the back.

Was a perfect cabin for our wedding visit. Well stocked with everything we needed. Clean, comfortable and a good value for two couples. Everthing was as advertised, close to venue and market in Mesick for essentials. Thanks

The check in process was convenient and the cabin suited our needs for one night. The cabin was well stocked with anything we might need and there was plenty of room in the front to walk our dogs.

The Host KimMe is AMAZING!Very accommodating and ready to help with any issues that may arise.I saw a comment about well water, the cabin had a water container with filter in the fridge and it was fine. We were only a few minutes away from family. We came up to visit family. We are a family of 7 and it seemed very spacious for us. We would book again!

Rustic cabin - very clean!! I just wish the stairs to the lake were operational- although we did know before we couldn’t use them - it would have been nice see more of the lake. Nice stay cute little cabin!

We stayed for four days in July. It is a lovely little cabin. The cabin is easy to find. Our toddler loves the bunk beds, and the table overlooking the river. The hostess is excellent.

We stayed 6 nights. We were very satisfied and will stay there again. It was very nice and cozy, close to family and grocery store. We had fun playing the games and watching movies in the evenings.

Easy to find and check in. Had everything we needed to have a cozy Spring weekend. Just the right amount of space. No traffic on the short road and easy access to the river, Hodenpyl Dam, and lots of National Forest trails. Short jump to Mesick for groceries and gas was very convenient. Felt very safe and the price fit our family budget nicely. Thank you, KimMe!

We rented the house to stay in during the Buckley Old Engine Show which was only 5 min away. The house itself was cute, with the back porch and living room overlooking the Manistee River. The house has all the essentials and so peaceful! The bedrooms and bathroom are a little outdated but everything was so accessible and clean. Checking in and out was a breeze! So glad we stayed here!

The access to the river was wired shut and very overgrown, so there was no kayaking. The air conditioning was a small square tower type fan, not a real A/C unit so the house was a bit too hot for sleeping.

Great location if you want to be away From inner city noise. Awesome back porch and hang out spot. inside the cabin was decent the kitchen was fully equipped to cook the bedrooms were decent noticed a lot of insects in the house I’m guessing due to it being in the woods also has well water so other then that for the price you can’t beat it. I plan on staying again in October.

We were there just for the night after a cold, windy and wet color tour. The property was clean and stocked with unexpected items. I had forgotten butter for breakfast, but there was a suitable alternative in the cupboard. We ended up playing one of the many games and putting a puzzle together.

We stayed only one night on our way to summer camp. 2 adults and 2 kids (11,14). House was very clean and had everything we needed. Easy communication with owner. Quiet area with river views but no access - stairs to river appeared to be in the process of construction so they were blocked off. Close to town for gas/food and canoe/kayak rental. There was no wifi or cable so we watched a DVD and played a board game (they had several to choose from). Price was right and I'd stay again in lieu of a hotel/motel.
