    We had a wonderful experience with this cabin. Eddi was incredible to communicate with. Incredibly minor issues was the bed was not very comfortable for me, but my partner found it to be fine. The kitchen was awesome but it was missing a cookie sheet and/or pizza pan. Many cobwebs around the back porch that we took some time cleaning up, but that was expected. Two great bedrooms even though we only used the one. Would be a great place for a family with just a couple kids. Didn’t get the chance to use the firepit because of weather, but it’s very nice and we will definitely use it next time!

    The CO2/fire alarm went off repeatedly--twice in the middle of the night and once in the late afternoon. When I contacted the manager via text and the app, I received totally conflicting messages because AI would answer first, followed by the manager--but this was not communicated to me so it was like dealing with multiple personalities. The manager complained about me following up because they were traveling (!). The issue was never resolved. I asked for a refund and AI said I would receive it and then the manager said I wouldn't. Totally ruined our vacation because I believe the alarm was going off due to CO2 and I had to move my kids to sleep at my sister's and eventually myself as well. Nightmare.

    The ad for the location is not correct and it made it difficult for 2 families to stay (still only 6 people, which is the recommended). It reads like there is 2-3 beds per room, but there is only 1 bed in 1 of the rooms and a bunk bed in the other. Also, a day bed in the living room where the hammick is in the pictures. Hammick is no longer there. This made it difficult when we thought we could have parents and kids in the same room. Its more appropriate for 1-2 adults and 2 kids.Overall, the place was clean and cute with a short distance to do the dunes and a day trip to michigan and chicago. I would stay again with less people.

    What a cute place! We enjoyed this little cabin in the woods. The inside was adorable and my kids loved it. The outside definitely needs a clean up to make the deck/back patio a little more enjoyable. This is located in the middle of the woods so I understand it's not going to be prestine or anything, the exterior just needs a little TLC. When we came back the second night, the outside flood lights did not turn on so it was very dark. This was a bit of a challenge with two super tired kiddos but it was manageable with a light from our cell phone. If you need a fan to sleep like I do, bring a travel fan. The ceiling fans are not operational without a light being on. My kids loved the bunk bed and the little snacks that had been left for us upon arrival. We would definitely stay here again.
