    Five adult men on a ski trip to Nubs Nob…this place is a gem: plenty of beds, shared spaces, game room downstairs and a fully stocked kitchen. It has tons of character and a spectacular view as it is on top of a hill. AWD or 4WD a must in the winter to get up there but the hill is short and easily navigated. Jim was super easy to do business with and our group is all in for going to this place next year…..so close to Nubs and the Highlands

    Cabin was amazing. Hosts were great. We needed help with heat and they responded immediately. It felt like a home away from home. Would definitely recommend this place. We are going back next year.

    We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful log cabin! The home has the perfect balance of comfort and luxury—spacious, cozy, and thoughtfully designed. It felt like a true retreat while still being close to everything. We loved the easy access to both Harbor Springs and Petoskey, with so many great shops, restaurants, and things to do nearby. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in northern Michigan! Communication with the owner was great, they happily answered all our questions promptly and entry to the property was flawless. We will be back!

    I stayed at Ironwood with my college-bound son for our last trip before taking him to Michigan State University. The house was beautiful. We took day trips to downtown Harbor Springs and Petoskey, and at night we sat by the fire pit chatting and stargazing. The whole trip was relaxing for both of us. It was the perfect end of summer vacation. We will be back!

    We were one of the first groups to stay at this new house, and it truly blew all of us away! The setting is absolutely beautiuful and the cabin was unlike anything we had rented before. Everybody loved the feel of the place, from the open living area to playing games in the recreation room downstairs. The beach was close, and it was the perfect home base for our trip. Very clean and had everything we needed. Would love to come here again.
