Thanks for spending part of your Spring, Summer, or Fall at the Cabin. Over the years I have found the Cabin to be a wonderful, quiet retreat. Traverse City has grown tremendously over the past few years, yet the Cabin and property have not changed much at all. Even though people continue to build throughout the area, you still see geese and loon in the early spring, hear owl during quiet nights, and see deer in the water in late fall.

The Cabin is a special place. It is a unique combination of a rustic log cabin and a modern furnished home, on a beautiful piece of property near a busy Traverse City. Please do not expect to be staying at the Grand Traverse Resort, or the Holiday Inn. The Cabin definitely has its own character. Not all the windows have screens, the driveway is not paved, and the chipmunks will join you during your morning coffee. But give the Cabin a few days, and I think you will feel what I feel, and you may be a little disappointed that time is going by so quickly. Enjoy it while you're there.

Individuals and couples only. Pet friendly. Minimum three night stay required.

Thanks again. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to forward them to me through the VRBO website.

Have a great time!!

    The cabin was situated on a peninsula which offered privacy and a beautiful view. The cabin was complete everything we needed for our stay. We would definitely stay there again.

    My wife and I had a great stay with our dog over the memorial day weekend. It was close enough to downtown traverse to enjoy the city, but far enough away to be able to relax. Such a charming and cozy cottage and Dr. Ed was extremely helpful!

    We had an amazing stay at 'The Cabin'. It was peaceful, quiet, and had a cozy feel to it. Everything was clean and the location was wonderful with the lake access. I highly recommend staying here and m husband and I will be renting again soon. Ed was also a very attentive host who made us feel welcome. Thank you!

    This cabin was everything I was looking for and more! It is away from cities in a beautiful wooded area with water on 3 sides. A nice grocery store is not far away as are restaurants for take-out or dining. The little gas stove with realistic logs/flames made the cabin so cozy on a couple of chilly evenings in the fall. Dr. Haak has added many nice touches to make it feel homey. I’ll be back!!!

    We LOVED staying at Dr. Ed's Cabin!!!! It was everything and more than we ever dreamed of -- private, serene, clean -- and a very special place. It felt like stepping back in time but with all the conveniences of today. We loved watching all the birds at the bird feeder -- woodpeckers, nuthatches, tufted titmouse to name a few, and hearing the loons in the morning was amazing. We hope to get back again next summer -- we live in Bellingham Washington but it's worth the trip -- thank you Dr. Ed for sharing your little slice of heaven with us!

    The cabin is perfect. Nestled in trees surrounded by a lovely clear quiet lake, birds, squirrels, chipmunks and many trees. All the necessities you may need are included in the cabin. The bed is comfy as is the couch. It was just what we were looking for. Tranquility and the best nature and a kind homeowner can grace us with.
