My husband and two adult sons chose this cabin due to proximity of ice fishing on Thumb Lake. They found it to be very charming and quaint and enjoyed their stay. There were a lot of great places to eat nearby.

Host was super communicative. Super helpful!! Went for a snowmobile trip - the weather didn't quite cooperate. Paul was super helpful in finding alternatives and where to go to get to trails. Left the lights on for us upon arrival after dark, kept the driveway cleared... and a whole bunch of little extras that were great. Thank you for a great stay. We hope to be back!

Thank you for a comfortable and cozy stay at your cabin. We were welcomed with the kitchen light on lighting the way. Fresh new carpet, super clean everything, very comfortable beds. We appreciate the cabin being pet-friendly too. The host was quick to respond to help us with the TV and connecting to the Michigan State football game. He Go Green! The area restaurants were great too. We look forward to future visits. We highly recommend staying here.

Perfect place to get away with everything you could need and more! We came delightfully over-prepared, this place really has everything covered and the thoughtfulness that went into preparing did not go unnoticed. Clear and easy to understand instructions and fast communication whenever needed. The property itself is beautiful, we really enjoyed walking the trail at dusk and watching for shooting stars. Thumb lake public access is right around the corner making trips back to the cabin quick and convenient. Our neightbors were friendly and welcoming which was a great added bonus.We can't wait to be back and see what Paul has planned for the future!
