Nestled in the beautiful Jordan River Valley, this cozy cabin is a writer's dream.

Shorts Brewery, and their famous craft beer, is a fifteen minute drive to downtown Bellaire. Traverse City and Petoskey are just forty-five minutes away. Wander the gardens that are part of the small turn-of-the-century farm, or just enjoy the quiet of the north woods.

Stayed Jul 21, 2025This was our fourth stay at this beautiful cabin. First, Mary is an exceptional host and person. We always enjoy our talks with her when we both arrive and leave. The cabin is meticulously clean and cozy. Both the cabin and the area it sits are very peaceful and quiet. If you want to get away from the hustle of life, this is a fantastic spot. The cabin will put you around thirty minutes or less to places, such as the Lavender Hill Farm, Boyne City, and Charlevoix. It’s about a hour or less to places, such as Traverse City, Sutton’s Bay, and Leland. The surrounding areas are so beautiful and pleasant that it makes for a nice drive whatever your destination is.

Stayed May 28, 2025This was our third stay at the cabin, and it was such a treat to hear bird calls and the wind in the trees instead of horns honking and highway noise. Mary was, as always, a pleasure to chat with and so welcoming. The surrounding area is amazing for wildlife. We hiked Jordan River Valley and our new favorite, Grass River Natural Area, as well as Glacier Hills Nature Area. For lunch we discovered a relatively new place called Forx in Elmira, and it is the best food we’ve had up north. We definitely recommend some quiet time at Mary’s cabin as an amazing escape from the world’s troubles.

Stayed Mar 10, 2025This was our second time to Mary's cabin and it was once again perfect in every way. The charm of this property is off the charts. Rustic and beautiful. Peaceful doesn't begin to describe the silence that surrounds you at this perfect up north location.

Stayed Sep 6, 2024A great place to have alone time without the hustle and grind of the city. No TV means talk with your loved one or read a book. Area isn’t great for walking around in but little towns near the place are.
