Outdoorsman's paradise

We rented Hank's place to get out and about in the surrounding public lands. Hank was very knowledgeable of the area and more than willing to share his favorite locations and trails with us. The cabin was comfortable and very conveniently located. Hank was an excellent host making sure we were comfortable and satisfied with our experience throughout. Highly recommend.

Great Getaway

We stayed for mother’s day weekend. Hank provided all the check-in/out info well in advance and followed up during our stay to make sure everything was good. The new fire pit and outside chairs are awesome! You can see the lake and hear plenty of birds - so peaceful When we get back to Cadillac we look forward to staying here again.

Peace in the pines

We had the most amazing trip. The cottage is cute and cozy and had all the basic amenities we needed. The view out the front window was beautiful and peaceful. Enjoyed looking out by the fire and drinking our coffee every morning. Great location and not far from town for the needed grocery runs etc. It was a relaxing trip and we enjoyed our time on the trails. We are already planning our next trip back up to enjoy some spring summer and fall fun. Hank and Heather were excellent hosts.

Upnorth Trip

This place was misrepresented in the description that was online at the time. This place is not on the water. There is no view of a lake and the dock that is shown is about a half a block down the street. We were so disappointed and the owner did not work with us at all In fact, upon arrival, the book on the table described it more in detail, which should’ve been put on the description online, and the owner decided to change the description after we complained, Which was deceitful needless to say we had to file a claim with Vrbo.
