Perfect for us

The property was beyond our expectations. Our 2 service dogs had chances to be “off duty” while walking the trails with us for miles every day. The home itself was beautiful and comfy.

Great private getaway!

My family and I stayed here for our ski trip to Chrystal mountain, and it was a we fly as described. Very private with 30 acres and the cabin was super cozy! We spent most of our time in the cozy den downstairs with the fire on and watching the snow fall. Exactly what we were looking for and appreciated the stay.

White Christmas

We spent the Christmas Holiday at this house with our black lab. It was lovely. It snowed right as we arrived, so it was absolutely beautiful. The trails were so fun to walk around while our dog ran and played. The fireplace downstairs was cozy. The hot tub and sauna were nice also. The beds were super comfortable. We will be back to check it out in Summer!

Lovely Getaway in the Woods

This house in the woods is a gem. It is very clean and well kept. All the kitchen appliances are nearly new. The art on the walls throughout the house is attractive. The owner provided many amenities such as books, fire pit, sauna, and a two-person jet tub.The large kitchen had sufficient dishes and cookware. We used it for a long weekend to view the trees in Autumn colors. Although the house is secluded, it is not far from Manistee, Lake Michigan, and various hiking trails. The house and setting exceeded our expectations.

If you like seclusion this is the place. Nice house, with walking trails on property, good location, only 5 minutes from town, 10 minutes from dog friendly beaches, 20 minutes from Manistee. We would stay here again.

Our 2nd time back!

We love this property, as it's now our second time coming. The VRBO ad listing was exactly as described. The house had a few nice changes to the furniture compared to last year. My Mom and my Son equally enjoyed the property as much as myself. We made good use of the trails with our ATV's as well! I'm definitely planning on coming back again for a third time if we can swing it next year. - Ryan Bollerud & family

Not as expected

Wood box for sauna was empty and directions in the booklet were not accurate as to where to find the wood. Finally got ahold of owner through Vrbo and she got someone out there. Be aware that the pet deposit is a fee and even if dogs don’t shed you still have to pay it. Also place sleeps 6 but have to pay additional fee over 3 people even if 4th is a baby. Not happy with the stay since lawn was not cut and also had to ask for more wood for outside fire pit

Lovely Property & Stay

I stayed here for about four nights with my partner and made a somewhat last minute decision to book, but the experience and communication was wonderful. The directions and given explanation was perfect and the home was so nicely maintained, so it felt cozy and away from the world while also so accessible and updated for anyone who doesn't want a "rustic" experience - you could tell Edie's father put so much love and care into the home.
