Precious Cabin
Cabin easy to find and looked just like the photos. Loved the property and how it was surrounded by trees. I thought my husband was going to have a fit when he saw the stairs leading up to the loft, and the short trek outside to the loo. But, he succumbed to the magic of the cabin and had a great time. We are seniors so had tho be careful on the stairs up the loft and the path to the loo and showers. Everything very clean and comfortable. Bad season for mosquitoes so bring bug spray if you plan to spent any time outside on the property. Felt very safe there.

Although this cabin was smaller than anticipated, it fully lived up to the expression of "small but mighty"! My husband and I had a few nights of a mini honeymoon here to get away from life stressors, anyone we know, and disconnect from our phones to settle into marriage- this cabin was exactly what we were looking for and more! Visiting the small businesses in both towns of Lansing and McGregor was a blast- I highly suggest chatting with the locals! We hope to stay here again soon to be able to hike at more of the nearby gorgeous forest preserves and parks! The hosts were very responsive to our questions and needs, and the cabin was very cozy- just make sure to check the weather!

Lovely cabin!!
The cabin is exactly as in the pictures. It's wonderful: very cozy, well-equipped, extremely clean, it's got all modern comforts, and it is in a beautiful setting. The heating was on when I arrived, so that was a nice surprise. It was very quiet and close to some easy hiking trails. There is also a lovely area outside with a fire pit, and it is ideal for BBQ weather permitting. Two pieces of advice: take groceries/drinking water with you as it is quite remote (which is what is great about it!), and don't drink too much after 7:00 pm, as you need to go out to go to the bathroom (It is mentioned on the listing, though.) Other than that, Jane is a great host and responds immediately to your texts. I definitely recommend and hope to go back soon. Nik

Staying here has turned into a tradition for us. It is a great intimate little space where we have been able to enjoy the outdoors during the day and came back to tell hunting stories at night.
