It includes big picture windows allowing for a beautiful view. The outdoor lighting in the trees is picturesque. We travelled here in the winter so the snow and short days made for a peaceful and quiet getaway. This would also be a beautiful retreat in the summer months as well. It's only a short drive to Grayling for groceries or restaurants. A great find in northern Michigan! ##### Jamie G. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeanne and Dan P.

Besides being set in a private little woods, it was very clean, everything worked! The bed was comfy, hot water in the shower, even a dishwasher! We cooked all of our meals there and every tool and all the dishes and glasses we needed were supplied. We spent every day bicycling over to Hartwick Park, an easy ride of half a dozen miles. In the evening, we'd enjoy the comfortable seating on the private deck. Couldn't be better. Wish it were closer to home! ##### Jeanne and Dan P. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeff K.

Most everything you could need for an extended stay and close to lots of activities in Frederic, Grayling, Kalkaska, and other places in the upper Michigan mitten. Property manager was helpful with problems (particularly a problem with Roku, but later the day of arrival we determined that the Roku stick had been removed from tv and was under the TV stand). No local TV (no antenna for local OTA, but may have been too far from Grayling to pick up area channels. Due to rain and cold we spent more time than planned in cabin and got plenty of time to relax. ##### Jeff K. Stayed 9 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Terry K.

Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Mandy R. Aug 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Nice and clean. But it said it had a washer and dryer and it doesn’t and it also says towels provided .. we had 4 people for 3 days and only 2 bath towels and no washer or dryer. No of that would have been a problem for us if we knew ahead of time. Overall a nice experience. ##### Mandy R. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### allan g.
