It was extremely clean and felt so cozy and comfortable. We really enjoyed that the kitchen was open to the dining/living room. The view from the huge windows overlooking the deck was beautiful and peaceful. You truly felt you were up in the trees! The communication with our hosts before arriving was very clear and helpful. We didn’t need to reach out during our stay because everything was wonderful! We’d love to return perhaps in the fall when the leaves are all changing colors. 😊 Thanks for a great stay! ##### April M. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas H. Dec 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Anniversary Weekend Overall, it was a fantastic trip. I thoroughly enjoyed the property and would definitely stay again. The mid-century modern design, and the actual fireplace in the living room is a unique feature. The living area is spacious, and the bedrooms are well-proportioned. However, I have a few suggestions for future renters. Firstly, it would be great to include a variety of pillows in the bedrooms to cater to different sleeping preferences. The current pillows are primarily designed for back sleepers and are quite flat and hard for side sleepers. Secondly, it would be helpful to provide shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers in the showers, as none are currently available. ##### Thomas H.

Ate dinners in - kitchen was adequate. I usually bring my own disposables for kitchen (foil, baggies, cling wrap) - which we used here. Any missing supplies- grocery store 10 minutes away. Enjoyed many hikes, lake hoping and card games. Best day was a kayak/paddle boards on torch lake. Access to community heated pool was a plus. ##### Julie L.

With a master bedroom and bunks for the kids. Upper level master bedroom, kitchen outdoor desk with a clean gas grill. Grandparents traveling with our children and their children. They had their own private space, lower level, and we had the upper. Very clean residence and quiet neighborhood. Haven't slept so well in quite a long time. On the deck, s'mores for the children and wine for the rest of us. Highly recommend. ##### Michael K.

Description and reviews were spot on! Communication with owner was fast, and helpful if we had any questions. The cleanest vacation place we have ever stayed at. Offered all the necessary conveniences and supplies:) From a fully stocked kitchen with coffee pot, pans, dishes, glassware, cooking utensils and appliances, to a variety of games, blankets, a wonderful pool table to play. I have a little reservation about coming in April. This is a ski resort/ golf paradise when season are in place, but we were between seasons and wasn't sure if there would be much to do, but there was. We were able to relax inside, grill out on the porch, takes walks, eat at nearby restaurants, shop, and do some sightseeing. We enjoyed ourselves immensely, and plan to return again! Thank you for a wonderful experience:) ##### Angela S. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam N.

The room with the bunkbeds has an extra trundle bed, so 5 of them could fit comfortably in one room. We had all of our meals at the cabin. The kitchen is set up well for cooking. Everyone enjoyed the tv /game room with the pool table. Finally, thanks to our host Joe for going the extra mile to make sure we could swim at the Lakeview hotel. He was very responsive whenever I texted a question. One tip - bring extra towels to swim. Lakeview hotel (which you have access to through the condo association) no longer provides towels at the pool itself. Thanks again!!! ##### Adam N.

From the moment we arrived, the cabin felt like a true home away from home. The rustic charm was complemented by modern touches, making it both inviting and comfortable.One of the highlights was the vintage fireplace in the living room. It was the ideal spot to unwind after a day of exploring the area or playing in the snow. The warmth and ambiance it provided made the evenings feel extra special. We also loved the pool table in the game room — a great addition for some friendly competition and laughter. The space was big enough for all of us to enjoy without feeling cramped.The cabin comfortably accommodated nine people, with plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. The bedrooms were cozy and well-appointed, and we woke up to beautiful views of the surrounding forest.Schuss Mountain itself was peaceful and serene, offering a sense of seclusion, but still close enough to local attractions for easy day trips. Whether we were lounging by the fire, playing pool, or simply enjoying the quiet outdoors, every moment felt relaxing and rejuvenating.If you're looking for a cabin that combines comfort, warmth, and fun, this is the place. It's the ideal retreat for families or groups looking to escape and recharge in a stunning Michigan setting. Highly recommend!One word of caution the area is very hilly if there is snow you will need 4 wheel drive. ##### Stacey W. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda L.

We’re in our 30’s now and take this weekend very seriously. I’m not sure that we will pick a different location next year, we loved this beautiful cozy cabin so much! To begin, Joe is absolutely amazing. He is incredibly welcoming and has really ironed out every detail you would need to have an unforgettable trip. He is a great communicator and makes himself available should you need anything. Although we did not need to reach out to him, because everything was already so organized and well communicated, I am confident that had we needed to, he would be there. The cabin was perfect. It’s designed to actually feel like you’re in a Northern MI ski lodge but still offers beautiful modern amenities. Cleanliness was a 10/10 too, and with a house full of ladies, we would have noticed otherwise. The surrounding area has so much to offer! Cute shops, and a perfect downtown area. Restaurant choices were great too! If you want something quick like fast food, those options are there. However, I recommend taking advantage of all the other restaurants that are in the area. We ate at Shanty Creek Bar and Grill which was very small but very impressive. We also visited Shorts, and were so impressed. This truly was a great stay. We wish we would have booked for at least a day or two longer. ##### Amanda L. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brant R.
