Nice cozy cabin, but...
It was a cozy cute place that was quiet and the stars are just beautiful outside. The fire pit was great! The inside had clean bedding and clean bathroom toilest and shower.. but.. underneath the kitchen sink stunk horrible and was dirty. The kitchen drawers were filthy. Only 2 burners worked on the stove.. there was dirt and dead bugs in the corners on the porch. The furniture hadnt been dusted in forever. The one bedroom stunk like mold. The window frames were black with dirt and mold.The baseboards were very dirty. The mattresses are old and sink in the middle. I think they just need a deep cleaning and some upgrades and it would be a Great place to stay!!

Rustic Man Cabin
From the outside it looks nice and cozy. Inside couch is balanced on blocks, there is no where to put dry unfridgerated food except on porch. A low watt lightbulb hangs from the dining table lamp. It is very dark in the cabin except for the kitchen. The bathroom is ok but toilet is very low. On the upside the backyard fire ring and space was great for hanging out. There were plenty of utensils and pans. This is definetly a fishing/snowmobiling man cabin. The curtains were nicely made. However, our biggest challenge was staying warm bc the heaters didn't work. Plus the owner didn't respond until the next day as we were ready to depart. Communication was a bit of a challenge. My adult kids thought it was great but I like cabins with a little more female up to date touches.

If you want remote and rustic, this is it!
If you are looking for an escape from everything, this is the perfect place! Nestled into the woods, you get all the privacy you desire, and it’s a nice centralized location (within an hour from many great attractions). We didn’t plan on spending much time in the cabin, so we didn’t mind that it was sparse on the cooking/eating utensils. Only thing we wished it had was a bathtub if you have littles (or in my case a handicapped son who cannot stand to bathe himself), but we made it work! The price point was the biggest seller for us, and for the comfort of everyone having there own room, it worked great! Thanks for opening up your cabin to our family, we had a wonderful time!

Good, not great
This cabin is located among the trees and very secluded. It's cozy for that reason alone. It is old, and several minor things could stand for simple replacement or repair. Only 2 electrical burners work on the stove top, the cabin is dark and there is minimal lighting there, one tiny bulb above the dining table isn't adequate. We tried to do some puzzles and simply couldn't see well enough to be effective. The cabin was SUPER musty when we arrived, one of us in the group has allergies and ended up with a migraine the first night of our stay as a result of musty/mildew smells. After leaving the windows open for a full 24 hours, it smelled some better but was still prevalent. Overall, the setting and charm of the cabin is wonderful, the shade is awesome and the fire pit is amazing as well as the picnic table out back. Specific step by step directions to the property should be included in the rental details as the GPS doesn't like the address and turned us around quite a bit. The property is easily missed due to it's remote location. 20 minutes from Manistee shopping/dining, 10 minutes from trail heads and boat launch make it's location ideal if those are of interest for your group!
