mancelona, Michigan
Nestled in the beautiful Jordan River Valley, this cozy cabin is a writer's dream. Located seven miles from Mancelona, this woodsy retreat provides easy access to hiking, fishing, canoeing, and skiing. 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.
The Jordan River Valley is part of the Mackinaw State Forest and is truly one of the most beautiful wilderness areas in northern Michigan. Its river was the very first to be designated as a wild and scenic river by the Federal government. The Jordan River Pathway provides 18 miles of trails and is part of the North Country National Scenic Trail.
Winter note, the fireplace shown in the photo is not operational at this time. There are plans in the works but the heater for the cabin sets in the fireplace space as of now.
This was our second stay at Mary’s cabin. Such a peaceful and relaxing getaway!
Mary is an absolute wonderful host. Her cabin is a quaint and beautiful place to be secluded and away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Cabin is conveniently located close enough for day trips to Charlevoix, Boyne City, Petosky, Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, etc. We highly recommend Mary’s cabin.
We so loved our stay in Mary’s cabin. It is very peaceful place with beautiful gardens and surroundings. The cabin has everything we needed and more, and she was such a gem to spend a bit of our time with. A new favorite place for us…we’ll be back!!
Mary is an awesome host, the cabin was idyllic for our needs and the property is very beautiful and peaceful. Great location close to nature and nice small towns around. Would love to be back again soon!
Nice old cabin near a farm house and barn out in the country. The gardens and woods offer a nice walk, the cabin stayed cool inside even when it was 89F outside. All the equipment worked great, nice and comfortable. A+
Lovely place Mary is fantastic Definitely stay here if you have the chance.
This cozy little cabin was perfect for us. We wished we had more time to walk the property. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to unplug in a peaceful setting.
Very unique and comfortable cabin. We loved it. Thank you
Our stay was amazing! Mary is such a natural at hosting and was enjoyable to visit with her for a bit. The cabin was really clean and no signs are vermin at all - which is amazing for a structure of that age. The kitchen is vry well stocked which was so nice since we planned to eat all of our meals in. We did quite a bit if hiking around the river valley, but mostly wanted to just hang out at the cabin and chill together celebrating our 23rd wedding anniversary. Being we had nothing scheduled, we love that there was no clock staring at us. Would definitely recommend this great little spot.
Relaxing vacation spot
lovely little cabin due to weather didnt get to enjoy the outside as much as we wanted
We stayed for the weekend and loved the place! Excellent location next to a lot of beautiful lakes!
We rented the cabin for our 38 wedding anniversary. Enjoyed the peace and quiet of this quaint cabin. Mary does a wonderful job with thus little getaway retreat.
Love the rustic nature of the property. Felt like home, I am originally from the UP. Certainly enjoyed no cell service & the solitude. Mary is a great host & her property is beautiful. Thank you for a great 3 days.
