FAQ's
Can we bring our pet?
Unfortunately we have many guests with pet allergies and pet hair/dander is a constant issue. We are not accepting pets at this time.
What do we need to bring?
We supply toilet paper, hand soap, paper towel, dish soap, sponges, linens/blankets/pillows for beds (beds are made for guests) as well as towels, washcloths, kitchen towels, mini shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, etc.. We suggest bringing anything you feel you may need in addition and reviewing our amenities and supply list in it's entirety prior to traveling to your rental.
What activities are available in your area?
The activities in our area are nearly entirely outdoor recreation activities. Blessed to be located in the Manistee National Forest we are lucky to be very close to some amazing hiking/fat biking trails such as the Big M and the North Country Trail. We are surrounded by lakes and rivers as well. Kayak or canoe on the Big Manistee, the Little Manistee or the Pine River. Watch the salmon run in the fall in small creeks or fish one of our many small lakes. We are also located only about a half hour from Lake Michigan and it's beautiful beaches. Shopping is available in Manistee, Ludington, and Traverse City. Our area also has many ATV and Snowmobile trails and trail maps are available online and in the welcome book at our cabins. This cabin is located approx 20-35 minutes from Crystal Mountain and Caberfae Peaks for skiing and snowboarding. We are located 25 minutes from the Little River Casino and our area hosts the Hoxeyville Music Festival Annually as well!

Cute unit but SO SMALL. Knees touch wall if on toilet shower too small for a man, middle of nowhere, small frig won't freeze ice, hard mattress, no bar shower soap, no light where frig and microwave was, Dishnet buffing couldn't watch anything, TV tiny, and no ironing board. **Excellent housekeeper Sandy.
