    Cozy, clean cabin in the woods. Close to trails and Tippy Dam. About 20 minutes from downtown Manistee which is a very cute town. Just a little noisy at times with the traffic since it’s right off the main highway.

    This cabin was in an ideal location. The property is beautiful. We enjoyed staying there except the bed was uncomfortable and creaked loudly everytime either my husband or myself turned over.

    Such a beautiful, quaint cabin!! We loved our stay and felt comfortable and at home. We enjoyed the charcoal grill (who doesn't love BBQ steak bought from the local market?!), and the firepit consumed our evenings. We chose this cabin because of its location; small town feels, but only an hour away from Traverse City!!!! (where we spent the day, and were more than happy to bring our wine back to the cabin for a relaxing evening) Shawn was super responsive, and we can't wait to come back and stay again!

    I liked how easy it was to get there. A nice little cabin. The only thing I would say, is it needs new pans for the kitchen.

    We had a great stay at this property. It was just what we were looking for - far enough away from everything, yet still close enough for activities and things to do with short drives. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils and supplies to cook. We loved the water pressure in the shower! Laundry facilities were convenient. Mattress is new-ish and high quality. We fell in love with the Manistee area and are already planning a return visit this region in the future.

    We had an awesome family trip in the Manistee area at this cabin! Their cabin is very clean, and has nice modern upgrades alongside lots of woodwork.and neat decor. It's very relaxing nestled in the woods. My kids really loved time around the camp fire.

    The accommodations were well suited for the occasion, and there was nothing lacking according to what was represented by the advertisement. Surely an excellent cabin to rent for a fishing or hunting trip

    We spent two nights at Shawn’s cabin for a quick anniversary getaway. It was clean, the location was private and peaceful, and Shawn was very responsive, kind and accommodating. We’d love to return!
