Nice Small Cabin
It's a really nice property out in the country. It is well taken care of. It would be great for a husband and wife with 2 kids. A group of 4 friends, you'd have to share beds or figure something else out. The bathroom is detached but it is a very nice bathroom. It's a nice comfortable place to stay.

No bathroom access
The bathroom code would not work when we tried to use it for a second time. So no bathroom available to shower or use the rest of it. I don't know if it was something we didn't do. Just could not get it to open up. (The bathroom is located in another building outside the cottage.} There was no backup to the code if it failed. You can use your imagination as what we had to do.

Precious Cabin
Cabin easy to find and looked just like the photos. Loved the property and how it was surrounded by trees. I thought my husband was going to have a fit when he saw the stairs leading up to the loft, and the short trek outside to the loo. But, he succumbed to the magic of the cabin and had a great time. We are seniors so had tho be careful on the stairs up the loft and the path to the loo and showers. Everything very clean and comfortable. Bad season for mosquitoes so bring bug spray if you plan to spent any time outside on the property. Felt very safe there.

Although this cabin was smaller than anticipated, it fully lived up to the expression of "small but mighty"! My husband and I had a few nights of a mini honeymoon here to get away from life stressors, anyone we know, and disconnect from our phones to settle into marriage- this cabin was exactly what we were looking for and more! Visiting the small businesses in both towns of Lansing and McGregor was a blast- I highly suggest chatting with the locals! We hope to stay here again soon to be able to hike at more of the nearby gorgeous forest preserves and parks! The hosts were very responsive to our questions and needs, and the cabin was very cozy- just make sure to check the weather!

Lovely cabin!!
The cabin is exactly as in the pictures. It's wonderful: very cozy, well-equipped, extremely clean, it's got all modern comforts, and it is in a beautiful setting. The heating was on when I arrived, so that was a nice surprise. It was very quiet and close to some easy hiking trails. There is also a lovely area outside with a fire pit, and it is ideal for BBQ weather permitting. Two pieces of advice: take groceries/drinking water with you as it is quite remote (which is what is great about it!), and don't drink too much after 7:00 pm, as you need to go out to go to the bathroom (It is mentioned on the listing, though.) Other than that, Jane is a great host and responds immediately to your texts. I definitely recommend and hope to go back soon. Nik

Everything was great but the only thing I would change is the stone walkway to the bathroom and shower house. In the middle of the night when needed to go to the bathroom it was hard not to trip but I would recommend this place to everyone
