This was a great location. Clean house close to Crystal where we spent the weekend skiing. We would recommend this to anyone that would be looking for a place to stay and have time for their winter snow sports.
Great location while visiting our family. The cabin has a great kitchen with everything we needed. It was clean with comfortable beds. We brought an extra fan with us. Host was quickly responsive when we had questions.
Check in was easy, the cabin was very clean, the kitchen was thoughtfully stocked with all the necessities for preparing/cooking meals. We’ll probably book this one again 😊
The check in process was convenient and the cabin suited our needs for one night. The cabin was well stocked with anything we might need and there was plenty of room in the front to walk our dogs.
Great property, beautiful scenery, clean house. Check in was easy. Great experience.

Was a perfect cabin for our wedding visit. Well stocked with everything we needed. Clean, comfortable and a good value for two couples. Everthing was as advertised, close to venue and market in Mesick for essentials. Thanks

We stayed 6 nights. We were very satisfied and will stay there again. It was very nice and cozy, close to family and grocery store. We had fun playing the games and watching movies in the evenings.
We stayed for four days in July. It is a lovely little cabin. The cabin is easy to find. Our toddler loves the bunk beds, and the table overlooking the river. The hostess is excellent.
Rustic cabin - very clean!! I just wish the stairs to the lake were operational- although we did know before we couldn’t use them - it would have been nice see more of the lake. Nice stay cute little cabin!
Quaint little place to stay near Traverse city. The house was clean and well stocked with extra blankets, pillows and movies for a quiet evening. It is right on the river but it’s about a 25ft drop down to the water.
