Perfect cottage getaway for two!

Absolutely loved this gem of a place. It looks like a dollhouse. It is perfect for a couple. The location is ideal for Sleeping Bear Dunes, Leelanau Peninsula, Manistee, beach, etc. We are already looking for dates for a return visit.

Great location...but

The location was great, kind of in the middle of different things we wanted to do. Whoever is in charge of this specific property has zero communication with us and we did have a couple issues that needed addressed, but would probably stay again, just bring my own towels. Also there were things not working that we let VACASA know, just never got help with anything.

Great hideaway getaway

Perfect spot for getting away from the city. Great accommodations and lovely locals. Bring your own bathroom towels as they shed a lot and beware of the rodent problem.

Secluded hideaway

This location was perfect for our annual sister weekend trip. The loft bed was one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in! The deck out back was AMAZING! The bubbling brook, the wildlife, barely any traffic on the road…it was quiet and quaint and had everything we needed…if we ever venture to Arcadia again I would choose this place to stay.

Hideout in the woods

This cabin is in the woods on a gravel road a mile from pavement. It is very quiet and secluded. You are definitely off the beaten path and that was fine for us. Close enough to some of the sights like Sleeping Bear Dunes and other areas in Western Michigan. Be mindful when driving in this area as we have encountered several deer. We would stay there again.

Repeat visitors

The location is wonderful. Quiet and secluded, but close enough to local sights. We have stayed here multiple times and enjoyed the clean and cozy cottage. This year, however, cleanliness seemed to have slipped a little and the trash can outside was overfilled, which caused problems with raccoons at night. I am hopeful that these issues will be addressed and future stays will be back up to their previous 5 star quality.

Great Cabin!!!!

Great place to stay we went up for a birthday / Mother’s Day cabin is great super clean deck looking over creek and woods is perfect. Cabin is clean and tidy has everything you need to stay. Even thou cabin is on the road it is quiet and no traffic if you are on the deck you won’t even here anyone pull in to the cabin. Short drive to Frankfort and Arcadia has great beaches along with all the scenic outlooks that are near by. Overall a great rental. Would definitely rent again.
