    Loved the location and the quiet privacy. Perfect location for everywhere we wanted to fish. We will be back soon for Morels and then again for Salmon fishing

    This is a great up North cabin that is exactly what one would expect. The cabin does need some repair such as globes for the light, back door doesn't shut properly, kitchen cabinet doors don't shut well, etc. I'll give the same advice I've given all up North cabins... bring your own egg skillet. Dave has thought of everything for his guests though. Firewood ready to light in the pit, a little bit of those items you might have forgotten like salt and pepper, a little shampoo in the shower. This is a really nice cabin and host.

    Cabin worked out great for our snowmobile trip. Plenty of room for trailer parking and great trail access.

    Loved everything about the cabin. The driveway was tight with an 18' boat but was manageable. Would stay again

    Stayed here over Labor Day weekend. The place is quaint, quiet and cute! The one downside, is that the listing doesn’t 100% show the entrance or accurately show the front of the property with how many trees there are. I love how it’s tucked in the woods. You’ll find this property down the 2 track and then when it opens up at the property, be mindful if you’re pulling a trailer as it’s tight with the number of trees. We were able to maneuver the boat there, but it came as a surprise when we pulled in just how little wiggle room there was. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The heater in the bathroom was a nice touch during the chilly nights :) Would stay here again

    Came up for fishing on the Tippy. Nice quiet place with a good bed and hot shower. Didn't use the kitchen much but know the microwave works and the fridge is cold.

    Very basic accommodation. It is a simple, clean and mostly quiet place to stay. Most of the rooms are dark and the shower leaves a bit to be desired. That said, it has everything you need as long as you’re not looking for plush comforts or a light and airy feeling. On a map, if it appears as though he location is on Cravens Road you have the right place.All in all, the price is suitable for what you get.

    First off, I’d like to thank David for being very accommodating during my stay. I was in a car accident that delayed my arrival. I was disappointed that I was going to have a shorter stay at the cabin. David was very understanding, and let me extend my stay in another cabin that he owned. Highly recommend staying at one of his nice cabins.

    Quiet, peaceful location. Close to hiking trails and Lake Michigan. We went to see the fall colors. But this would be a great place for a fisherman only a mile or so from the river and a nice boat launch. The only issue I had there was only one half roll of toilet paper in the bathroom when I arrived had to go to To buy some more

    Nice place for the price. If you're looking for a fancy place, this may not be what you want. If you are looking for a place that is secluded, has outdoor space and has the basics, it's a good place to hunker down for a fishing r snowmobiling trip.

    A great place to enjoy after a fun day of fishing for King Salmon. Hanging out at the fire pit after dinner is icing on the cake.

    The location was lovely, though there was a dead mouse in the salt box on the porch, which was relatively recent. after a quick removal, we enjoyed a nice weekend of unplugging from the world and just playing board games

    It is very dirty. The cupboards are packed and stacked with items from previous renters. All the silverware kitchen are just heaped into a cupboard. they have a regular coffee pot and a Kurig coffee pot on the counter. When I was in town, I bought coffee pods for the cure. Just to find out if Kurig doesn’t work The windows do not open and there is no AC. I actually resented having to pay $30 for pet clean up, as the cottage is so dirty.
