Dog Friendly Log cabin W/Hot tub, Fiber optic near Sleeping Bear Dunes & TC

This is a beautiful home! We had a lovely family gathering over Presidents weekend. The hot tub was great! Everything was very clean and directions clear.

Beautiful home, cozy. John was awesome to deal with.

Host was amazing. Very thoughtful! House was very comfortable. Celebrated my husband’s 60th birthday with our 3 adult sons and their girlfriends! Plenty of room, very comfortable. Hot tub was lovely. All the beds were comfortable. Especially loved the pool table right off the kitchen and main living room. The hanks for the great memory!

Everything was great! Keyless access was perfect. Beautiful home with plenty of space for everyone. Loved the setting amongst the trees and nice privacy. John and Kelly were great to work with and were very helpful. Only downside was we would like to have been able to stay longer. Would highly recommend for a wonderful Michigan getaway. Hope to go back!

We had a wonderful time at the cabin. We were looking for a different type of vacay other than a beach one and this spot delivered. The cabin is nestled on a dead end street in the woods. The driveway was long and had hills so the kids loved riding their scooters up & down. The bar patio was great and a serene place to enjoy that morning cup of coffee. Everything was 25 mins away- it became a joke after a few days because that was always the answer. The lakes in Michigan are just what you see online and I was absolutely amazed! I will be going back to see more. The only things we felt needed an upgrade in the house was the mattresses and sheets. The beds were pretty hard. We bought toppers while we were there lol. The owner stopped by (with advanced notice) and he was so helpful and friendly. Great communication and gave us a homemade jar of maple syrup. Highly recommend renting from them.

John & Kelly were responsive, personable, and attentive. I would stay here again with my family: parents, adult siblings, and nieces and nephews 5 and younger. I would recommend this host and location to anyone.

What a great cabin this was for our annual winter friends/family trip. The cabin had it all. Perfect location too. You can feel secluded yet be in Traverse City under 30mins. John was a great host & we couldn’t speak more highly of him and how he went above & beyond for us. Looking forward to coming back!

Centrally located to all the locations we wanted to visit. This house had everything we needed and was spotless.

We had the best time at the Shady Eighty! The property is beautiful and the cabin provided everything we needed! We had 7 adults and 3 children. There was plenty of room for everyone. The property and cabin were extremely clean and the space was cozy. We enjoyed the hot tub, sitting around the deck bar in the evenings and playing pool! It was close to so much- Sleeping Bear Dunes, Sutton's Bay, Leland, Traverse City, Glen Arbor. A quick drive through the country let us enjoy a lot of beachside towns- shopping and eating! We also spent one day at Empire Beach- The setting with the bluffs on both sides was beautiful. It is rocky for a bit in the water, but you eventually get to sad a couple yards out. The beach had nice bathrooms and play structures and picnic tables. John was so attentive to any questions I had and provided a lot of great suggestions on places to check out. I have stayed at a lot of rental properties over the years and this was the best overall experience I have had!

We had a lot of fun there, nice location, a lot of different games and the most important is outside hot tub. Recommend!!!
