Nice location and cabin has everything you need. But it doesn’t have WiFi, the bed is super squeaky and uncomfortable, and a lot of insects get into the cabin.

Cabin was nice. Clean, and well maintained. Only reason not given 5 stars was no WI-FI, or cable TV. We had a very nice time taking walks with our 3 dogs and location was close to visit transverse city and Charlevoix
