Enjoy a true Up North experience at Good Times in the Pines. Our cabin is located on a beautiful wooded 5 acres but close to snowmobile trails, ski hills, restaurants, golf courses, wineries, beaches, and shopping. The interior of the home has been completely renovated, all new furniture, beds, and bedding, and features a fully stocked kitchen.

Upstairs features the second bedroom with a king bed, desk, and recliner, full bathroom (shower/tub combo), and third bedroom with two queen beds and desk. This third bedroom is open to the stairs and you pass by it to enter the second bedroom so it is great for children or people who do not mind a loft style sleeping arrangement.
Outdoor seating includes two rocking chairs, two stationary chairs, and two zero gravity chairs on the upper deck near the Blackstone Grill and a six seat dining table on the lower deck. The back patio features a new Hot Tub and outdoor kitchen and bar. The backyard features a fire pit with ten seats and fully stocked wood shed. Yard games include Cornhole, Ringo, Jenga, and Kubb.

The other side of the basement features an additional queen bedroom, full bathroom (shower), and 2 desks. Indoor activities include Puzzles, cards, and board games. Speakers for music are provided in basement and living room.
Starlink Internet - very fast and can be used for video calls. Dog friendly! We love dogs and provide bowls, towels, treats, and bags. Please do not leave your dog unattended in the home or bring a kennel.
We designed and furnished this home so that it will be ideal for guests who need to work remotely (4 desks) and guests who want to cook more elaborate meals and spend time together enjoying the home and property.

Really enjoyed our stay at Good Times in The Pines. House was very nice and fit our party perfectly. 15 minutes to the mountains and 3 to town. Enjoyed eating at Bobs Place. Hot tub was great too after skiing. Highly recommended. Thanks!
The property was perfect for our family with different ages and needs. The houze itself has everythinf you need for entertaient and comfort. It is also near enough to Mackinaw that we did a day trip to the island and to Petoskey beach and local hikes. Would recommend this place to anyone : )
Wonderful house off the beaten path in a quiet wooded area but still close to everything Lake Michigan and the surrounding area has to offer. The house had all amenities for our family and we all had a wonderful time. Host was super responsive and helpful. Definitely recommend a stay here!
Place was big but had lots of pet hair. Vaccum would not work and hot water ran out quickly. Other then that it was enough space for our family. The area was nice and quite.
House was fantastic and Kristen was a wonderful host. Will absolutely be coming back.
Really nice home with great amenities. We stayed 2 nights with 5 teenage daughters. Hot tub, comfy beds, nice firepit and overall just a nicely decorated house. Our daughters loved it. Host was very responsive and we had a great time here. You won't be disappointed.
Check in was a breeze. We absolutely loved the outside area and spent a lot of our time out there. The overall cleanliness of the home was good but we did find the floors were not very clean as all of the kids feet turned black within minutes, we found other peoples socks under several of the beds, the outdoor Blackstone had been left very dirty with a full and dripping grease trap, and the basement did have a almost mildew like smell. We had a great time playing pool and sitting by the fire roasting s’mores! It was a great relaxing trip. There are tons of beaches within a 25 minute drive. Unfortunately with so much construction going getting around was a little bit of a pain (not anything that they are at fault for just a forewarning!) The property manager was professional and quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had!
When researching the area for stay options, our priorities were cleanliness, safety, and space. This rental had it all! The outdoor space was great for our furry friend and kids to have fun. The firepit was the perfect way to wind down the day with smores for the kids and beverages for the adults. The General Store near by was also a great source for groceries so we could make our own meals. The inside was updated and provided a comfortable, clean stay. Just a short drive to all the draws of Mackinaw and the surrounding region. When we left, everyone agreed we should stay here next year! Host was great and responsive. I highly recommend this space.
What a great home! There were 9 of us and we all had plenty of space. The home is well-maintained and very clean. The outdoor space is amazing - grill, counter and table to eat, and new hot tub - all made for a relaxing environment.
My friends and I had the best weekend! The house was wonderful and our experience was great
We enjoyed the well appointed kitchen, pool table and hot tub. Plenty of beds and bathrooms for everyone to have their own space.
This was the perfect place for our two families - four adults and 3 teenagers. It was also the perfect location for skiing at Boyne Highlands and Nubs Nob - only a 15 minute drive -which was the reason for our stay. Our families enjoyed the home and the amenities - pool table and hot tub. Our families usually take turns making meals on trips like this, but we didn’t realize there wasn’t a kitchen table for us all of us to sit down together - this didn’t bother us, however, and we made it work with the options available, but if this is a must for other families - this may not be the place for you. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and all our needs (soaps, trash bags, etc.) Loved that there was a fridge in the basement as well as on the main floor. Overall, no complaints and would highly recommend!
Our group had an awesome time! Cottage is in a great location with great amenities and very well taken care of. Will definitely be back!m
Big TVs, pool table and a hot tub! Great location for skiing and hanging out. We appreciated the new appliances and kitchen wares. This is a great spot!
