Hiking Getaway
Perfect location and very cozy. I will definitely go there again.
The cabin itself was very nice, however is more suited to watching TV than internet surfing. Nice comfy loveseat, small round table/desk.
Also, thought the cabin was further off the road, but that's always a chance taken.
Also, having the side entrance unlockable by code would be nice, but that's a quibble.

Cozy Cabin
Very quaint and cozy cabin. Very clean. Easy to find (it sits right off Caberfae Hwy). Easy access and exactly as pictured on the site. The shower has good water pressure. Quiet area near hiking.
Everything about this experience worked perfectly. From the communication through check in and check out it was all very easy. Thank You!

False advertisement
The cabin overall was a cute little place.
Had no issues with any one on site. The stove top was dirty (crumbs) & there were dead bugs in the window seals. Unfortunately, there was false advertisement on the listing. It says air conditioned, sadly it was not. There was no pre warning and resident did not reach out to Inform us either. Asked for a partial refund due to the false advertisement and they never contacted me back.

Cozy spot
This was a wonderful little getaway location close to hiking trails. Check in was a little rocky (my door code didn't work) but we managed to get a hold of the host and it was resolved quickly.
Adorable little cozy cabin!
Would have loved to see an electric insert for the fireplace or flame less candles.
Would have made it even more cozy!
Very romantic weekend with the love of my life!
Definitely worth the drive from Spring Lake!
Local restaurants/bars are great too!
Affordable, and it was a cozy cabin
Was 10 mins away from are adventure

We had problems with the wifi for two days. The bed was a lot smaller than advertised. We did have the whole place to ourselves that was nice.

Labor Day Weekend
The property was quiet and clean with only one other guest in a cabin and only 25 minutes to all the Manistee attractions and the lake. VRBO email had one set of wifi instructions, the box for the router near the TV had another set of wifi instructions, and the binder (which I didnt immediately look at) had a third. The property owner responded immediately to my request after we tried the first two sets of info, which is all I can ask for, but offering consistent information is important.

Unknown person or people
Had a three night stay and there was a light knock or tap at the door at or around 10pm, well after dark the first two nights. On the third night, I went to test the door lock and opened the door and an individual was standing there and my girlfriend screamed so loud twice that the individual ran away. First two times I checked around outside and did not see anything. After a brief confrontation with the individual, we left and did not complete our stay sadly. I am sorry for the bad review but, this is not a normal thing well away from any towns.

Cozy little cabin
Cabin was nice and cozy. My husband and I were only there one night with our dog, and it suited our purpose just fine. However, it was lacking in a few things. Upon checking in, I noticed there was only one washcloth (plenty of towels, but only the one washcloth). I called about getting another, and he was very pleasant, and promised he would call the housekeeper to deliver another one. The only problem was that it never came, so one of us had to go without. Also, the shower could have used a shelf - would have been much easier & safer not to have to bend over to pick up shampoo from the shower floor. A couple of extra pillows for sleeping would have been nice too. But it was a cute cabin, and I appreciate that they allow dogs. Other than those minor things, I recommend it.

cute cabin very nice inside. Could use more places to store or hang clothing. Also a shelf in the shower. Fire pit was nice. Area was secluded but by a main road. Would definitely stay again. We had a nice quiet relaxing time.
