We stayed for a girls get away weekend and had such a wonderful time. We loved how much charm and character the place had and felt very well loved. The location was also perfect, right out side of Harbor Springs and not too far from Petoskey where we could bounce between the two. Would definitely stay again!

The cabin was very clean and well maintained. We slept comfortably and enjoyed a roaring fire each night. Bill was very responsive and helped us secure some wood for the fireplace. The clawfoot tub provided a wonderful soak at the end of the day.

The cabin was really cute. Was warm and comfortable. The only issue was it smelled like dead mice. We searched and couldn’t find them. When I tried to contact the maintenance it was an AI set up that was difficult and never got through.
