Quiet location out in the woods, but just a short drive to Ludington and the National Park is just down the road to the dunes along Lake Michigan.

We loved being surrounded by nature and we loved the unique design of this cabin. It was so peaceful in the mornings to sit on the hill that overlooks the water. We saw deer daily on the property. We loved the quiet. It is a perfect place to get away from our busy and noisy lives.

Please note that this review is coming from a retired couple in our late 60's in good health. The property was very nice, clean, organized, well landscaped. The journey to get there was long and the location is secluded to the point of being a concern. In all fairness when we went back and read the description it does say how far away it is from civilization. That did not register with us and that's on us. But quite frankly we did not think any VRBO would be that secluded. We expected a couple other properties to be nearby. We had go 3.5 miles on Nurnberg road which is rutted to the point where we could only go 10 mph to avoid car damage. The forest road was dry and clear but if there is a heavy rainstorm you would need a higher clearance AWD/4WD vehicle. We had no clue where to go to find the dock and kayaks. Perhaps a property map could help future visitors. We did have one cellphone bar and were able to make calls. But in the unforeseen event of a medical emergency it might get dicey given the distance from anything.. I saw reviews where young families enjoyed it and if you are the outdoor type, enjoy hiking in rugged terrain, wilderness and being totally secluded, it's the place to be. Unfortunately,. just a bit too rugged for us.

Location was great for a quite, secluded getaway. The house is super cute and beautiful views of nature. The kids had a wonderful time fishing on the dock. Couple downfalls were that the dock was a bit farther of walk than pictures show. Not a big deal but not fun when lugging a 1 year old up and down the hill. When we arrived I was a little concerned about the house being unlocked and my wife had to sweep and clean a few things before we could settle in. Overall it was a decent getaway and time for family bonding.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was beautiful there. So much peace and wonderful wildlife. The peaches off the tree were the best I’ve ever tasted. We had a Monopoly game contest going and reading about how the cabin was constructed was fascinating!

Loved the property and everything was clean and cozy. We didn’t spend a lot of time by the water as we had a pup in recovery from surgery, but we did walk down a couple of times and it looked like it was set up for a lot of different water activities. We loved the kitchen, open space, loft area and the outdoor space. We were looking for a trip that was secluded in the woods and we got it! Would definitely recommend to others, but be sure that you’re okay traversing up and down hills as there are a few. There wasn’t a microwave or dishwasher we could find, but we didn’t need it, and the grill already had propane hooked up, so we didn’t need to bring a lot to enjoy our time away. We’re already thinking this will be a nice place to visit again this spring. Overall - LOVED the property and communication with the hosts were easy and quick. Can’t thank them enough for allowing us and our pups to stay. ☺️

Overall a nice place in a secluded location.. loved the old growth forest surrounding the cabin . Enjoyed the naturalist reading material, and leaning about the process for the cordwood construction . I am emailing the property owners with small suggestions on cleanliness ..we could have used a small microwave for heating coffee and boiling water for Oatmeal .. the shower was not safe with just curtain walls, and I forgot to pack a blow dryer .. The steep hill to reach the lake was a workout but we managed it a few times and collected kindling for fires on the return. We tried the kayaks but water levels were low and the wild rice was high so it was a challenge .. we got some laughs out of the effort. Please look for our email.

We loved this cabin! Relatively 'safe' for our toddler and there was so much to do in the area together! We will definitely vacation here again. I would recommend bringing your own pillows, and the mattress is fairly firm.. we felt fully at home here otherwise.
