15 minutes to The Big 'M' Trail (The Big 'M' trail is a 37.9 mile loop trail system located in a canopy of hardwoods off of M-55 between Cadillac and Wellston. The trail offers a variety of terrain to challenge every biking and skiing experience level as you traverse up and down hills through the woods.
Mountain Biking - Most of the 25-miles of single track trail are one-way (clock-wise) and should not be biked backwards. The bike trail is open from April to September.
Cross-Country Skiing - The 18-miles of trail are groomed and the parking lot is plowed in winter, usually starting in December. There is also a chalet available for skiers. Snowfall averages 130 inches from December to March, but the best skiing is usually in January and February. One loop provides several miles of ungroomed trail that is is perfect for snowshoeing.
Hiking - Although the trail is primarily used by Mountain Bikers, it is open to hiking. The trail runs near, but is not connected to, the North Country National Scenic Trail for a short stretch.
The Marzinski Horseback Riding Trail also crosses the Big M trail at two locations.)
Snowmobiles can be rented and delivered right to the cabin.

My wife wrote her thoughts about the log house and it says it all. Here is what she had to say... The first morning when I woke up I opened the window and lots of deer were around the house and I was so thrilled because I never saw deer that close before! The next day I went outside early in the morning on the front porch with my coffee and it was magical! The house is surrounded by lots of trees and it was so calming and peaceful. Inside the house is absolutely beautiful and everything was there that we needed. (One more thing the garage is high enough for our roof box on the car so that we didn’t have to take it off the vehicle. That was just perfect for us as well!). We really enjoyed our stay and Karen was a great and responsive host as well.
This is our 4th stay at this property and it never disappoints. We love pan to be back again next week.
We were a group of six family members 65+ and found this house very comfortable. It was very clean and well-stocked. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. There were a lot of places to take day trips to. We enjoyed our week very much.
We booked the same place year after year because we love the privacy. We put on a big mountain bike race nearby and it is nice to just head back and relax at the cabin! We spent most of our time outdoors and loved the new Michigan chairs at the fire pit. They have also updated the basement and got rid of the carpeting, which makes it appear so much larger and cleaner.
Only discouraging when we first saw the little house up front. Once we realized our cabin was behind we found it to be a beautiful log cabin. Very relaxing stay.
Quiet beautiful cabin off the beaten path. Very comfortable and well equipped. Very comfortable beds. Plenty of room for the family to spread out but also plenty of room in living room to gather. One family member was able to work remotely using the cabin’s Wi-Fi and her hotspot. Used the fireplace multiple times which was great with the cooler weather. Plenty of room for our dog to enjoy. The view out the sunroom was spectacular with the fall colors. Would highly recommend staying here and would love to stay here again
My Wife and I really enjoyed the tranquility of this property. We had a mix of sunshine and rain. The rain made the property even cozier than it already is. Because we used the upstairs bedroom, we weren't even aware of the beautiful bedroom downstairs until the night before we were leaving. This home had such a good vibe attached to it. I don't usually say these kinds of things, but it truly felt as if there were Good Spirits there. We loved the upscale bedding. The only problem with that was you never wanted to get out of bed. Lol! We thoroughly enjoyed this property due to the fact that Karen has really thought of everything to make your stay a very enjoyable one. We did leave our pillow out by the fire pit that we brought up. It got rained on and we forgot to bring it back with us. Just to let you know it was ours and not yours. We don't want you to think we took your pillow outside. Thank you to our host Karen for sharing her beautiful house and property with others. Happy Autumn!
Property was great. Well kept. Amenities as described. Lot of 'extras' about like trash bags and paper plates we were able to 'borrow' and replace after we made it into town. Literally off in the woods with deer running about in the evenings that the boys loved seeing. Close enough to a couple larger towns so supplies were easy to get and only about 15 min from the beach. Plenty of firewood about and a nice firepit for hotdogs and marshmallows. Loved it and loved staying there. Will (hopefully) do so again!
Quiet and nice
Since my daughter moved to MI near Detroit and started a new job, I thought planning a family get together might be possible if she could meet us part way by going to the western part of lower MI. My husband and I live in Marshfield, WI so taking the SS Badger across Lake MI was very feasible. He is disabled so the 3 hour drive to Manitowoc, the 4 hour boat ride, and the 1 1/2 hours to the cabin were quite doable for him. Our son from CA had flown to be at our house the day before. We met there and had a wonderful time. The weather even cooperated by being in the 60s and lower 70s. (Thanks, Karen, for arranging that.) We celebrated our daughter’s birthday, played games and had a great time. There would be only one suggestion that I could make, and that would be to have a small ramp placed at one of the stairs up to the porch. It would have been helpful for my husband’s walker. My architect son enjoyed looking at the log construction too. Neat place.
Was very clean, comfortable and all the space you could need. We will most def me staying again!!
Oh our team of four race promoter stay here every year when we put on the Lumberjack 100 event. Friday and Saturday night we have two more guests that join us and it is the perfect spot!
