    We enjoyed our stay at this little cabin. It was cozy inside and out and close to restaurants, gas, shopping and exploring nature and parks nearby. The yard was private with all the trees around and a nice fire pit and chairs available. The kids thought the house was awesome and really loved the loft. It was nice to have the kitchen and dishes available for meals and fun finding the little things supplied for us around the place. Having the TV and internet was a nice bonus, too. Hosts friendly and easy to communicate with. All in all a good stay we would happily do again.

    As seasoned vacation renters, we always come prepared. I pack the basics, keep my expectations low, and hope for the best. This incredible little gem, and its wonderful hosts, completely blew my face off with comfort, amenities, location, and treats ;)From the moment we walked in, it was clear these hosts pour genuine love into every single detail. There was a personalized welcome note waiting for us, a jar full of treats, cold drinks already in the fridge, Pop-Tarts... but the thoughtfulness just kept going. Every toiletry and personal care item you could possibly need was stocked. And I am not talking dollar store specials. I am talking fancy argan oil shampoo that I am honestly just too cheap to buy for myself at home.Everything in this space is just nice. Comfortable. Not broken. Not cheap. Well maintained and honestly, truly, looked after with love.I get so much joy out of having a little fire before bed to take the chill off, just staring into it while the best moments of the day with my family replay in my head, before dozing off on the most comfortable couch I have ever been on. It has a max comfort setting. Please do not make the rookie mistake of not using it.Oh, and I may have snuck a Pop-Tart before bed.No regrets.We will absolutely be back.

This rustic, cozy cabin was perfect for our family's quick ski trip. We loved the comfortable seating and the kitchen was amply stocked. The location truly cannot be beat - walk to Teddy Griffins; gas station for snacks/provisions just down the road; and 4 minutes from Nubs Nob. Love staying in this little glen!

    This cute little cabin was perfect for what we needed it for. We stayed over the New Year and they had a Christmas tree which was fun for the kids. We didn't use the kitchen other than to make coffee. They left notes with tips on how to use some things which was helpful. We basically slept and showered at the house. It was perfectly located between both ski resorts. John was great with communication!

    Definitely had pet friendly elements which were not used or needed by us since we didn't bring a pet along for our trip. The house was impressive and had a welcoming vibe. Cabin style/rustic quality which truly reiterated the overall theme that we enjoyed of feeling off the grid and able to be in-sync with the surrounding nature. We did NOT ski, but I'm sure this would've been a great location had that been the purpose for our trip. We instead came for a birthday retreat to the Tunnel of Trees. The consideration that was shown by our hosts was highly appreciated and felt as tho they pulled out all of the stops to insure that we were comfortable and cared for. Huge appreciation from me to you for the birthday inspired trinkets and adds that y'all provided. Rest assured that my lady was appreciative of your attention to detail as much as I was.

    The location is great and we really enjoyed having our two small dogs with us. The place is tiny and it would be uncomfortable sharing the bathroom with anyone other than my spouse. The first floor bedroom has a very comfortable mattress. I slept well, despite being used to a King bed, this is a queen. The one negative was there was no hot water in the bathroom sink. The owners were super nice and very easy to check in and out.

    Very disappointed with condition of the property. We couldn't even enjoy a nice time outside as nothing had been cared for that we would use. Like chairs (fabric faded and extremely dirty, including leaves, dirt/sand and spider webs that were left for us to deal with before using. It was obvious a major storm had gone thru weeks/months prior to our stay. See photos.Listed as a cottage. Should have said Bob's cabin.We are far from being picky people and really didn't want to give a poor review. This is just honest.

    The cabin worked. It was enough to enjoy our stay in Petosky and Harbor Springs. The complaint I have is that the cabin wasn’t very clean. A broken screen on the back door being held together by duct tape. A bit of trash around the cabin and the weeds around the cabin we’re becoming over grown. Easy check in and check out. Owners left us nice instructions for the cabin.

    John and Dianne are wonderful hosts. We ve returned for 4 years running. The cabin is simple and clean. Pet friendly which is why we return. Little things like -the mints and the Coffee / simple kitchen provisions well stocked. The little outer room lets us keep the bikes out of the weather. Close enough for a day over the bridge --and a simple drive to H. Springs or over to Petoskey. We LOVE the Petoskey Brewery and the North West Bike trail. Chances are very good we'll be back.

    Even before we got there, the communication with the owners was amazing! Wonderful cabin in the woods. Maybe 10 minutes max from downtown Harbor Springs, 2 seconds to Boyne Highlands and via the back way super close to Alanson and of course Petoskey. For bicycle riding/or driving the Tunnel of Trees this couldn't have been a better place. We really appreciated being able to bring our babies (2 small dogs) with us. They LOVED it there too! Was very well equipped which was helpful as we prefer to make our own meals instead of going out all the time. Super cozy. If you're looking for peace and quiet in the woods, this is the place!!! Thanks again to John and Dianna!
