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.

Private but close to town

Lovely little cabin in the woods. The deck is relaxing with views of the wooded lot and a babbling creek for relaxation. We enjoyed this little gem.

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.

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.

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.

Weekend getaway

We absolutely loved the property and cabin. Very relaxing. The only negative part out of our entire weekend was the beds were the most uncomfortable beds I’ve ever slept on. We tried the pullout bed even but it was still hard as a rock just like the upstairs one. We would love to come back but hopefully there will be a different mattress available.

Relaxing Atmosphere

This cottage was a perfect size for my husband, 3 year old, and myself. The atmosphere of the location could not have been more relaxing. It was enjoyable to sit on the deck and listen to the babbling brook and our daughter loved the bridge. The neighbors (down the road) were very friendly when they helped us remove a tree that had fallen on the road one morning. The Arcadia area was somewhat remote, but close enough to get to everywhere we wanted to visit, including the Sleeping Bear Lakeshore. We did enjoy the little beach right in Arcadia, too. The only parts we were dissatisfied with were the amount of mouse traps/poison just sitting around on the floors (not great with a toddler around), the odor of the well water, lack of cell service (AT&T), and the lack of a vacuum. If you are used to being at a cottage/camp or in the woods these aren’t deal breakers. We also couldn’t figure out the lock box in the back, but I’m sure it was just our user error. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would gladly stay again.

Second time stay

The place was nice but since yhe last time we were there you have changed the mattress. The new mattress is too hard to sleep on and we almost left after yhe first night because it was so uncomfortable. We tried sleeping on the pull out couch mattress the second night and whole that was better compared to the upstairs mattress, it was still a second night of bad sleep. I would say the mattress situaiton needs to be fixed because if it was it would receive high reviews. I'd say the cleanliness was so so. There were a lot of little black flies everywhere inside the house. When we arrived there was garbage strewn about outside along the creek. That was incovienent and gross so we picked it up. As far as being able to use the grill, that is so rusted I'm not sure it's even safe to use. So this was our second stay here and we love the location and the place but we're left leaving very tired and not as rested as we wanted from a get away weekend. Immediate areas of attention, new upstairs mattress that's not so firm, new grill grates, make sure garbage is picked up outside.

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.
