    This property was absolutely beautiful. It was my partner, myself, and our dog. It was quiet and secluded. We were able to relax, fish, catch frogs and turtles, and go into town for groceries and dinner. The property management company was prompt and respectful. I can't wait to go back to this exact location.

    We would live here in our dream world!We found everything listed in the description as absolutely accurate. Having a pond in your own private space is such a treat! Plus one that allows dogs; who got plenty of exercise, too. We never saw any deer by the pond, but saw plenty while driving. Communication w/Jessica was super easy; she was friendly and helpful.Went to nearby trails, parks & rec areas; ate at Doc's & the Bungalow, but grilled in the yard most days.2 humans & 2 dogs will be back next summer.

    We enjoyed the cabin. Great location between Ludington and Manistee near to the Michigan Recreational Forest which has a great pet friendly beach.

    Finding a pet-friendly place that welcomed both our dogs and cat was quite challenging, especially since I couldn't find a trustworthy cat sitter. When I stumbled upon this listing, I booked it right away. We wanted a secluded spot with a fire pit, surrounded by nature, and this house exceeded our expectations. The directions, rules, check-in, and check-out procedures were straightforward and easy to follow. Upon arrival, the house was spotless and even had some leftover firewood! Though the pond level was low, we enjoyed searching for fish and watching deer drink in the mornings. We walked the small trail behind the house 4-5 times daily; it was the perfect length for dog walks and a great workout. While I wished we could have explored more of the trail, we respected the no trespassing signs. During one of our drives, we discovered a backroad leading to a spooky trail with no cell service—it was a blast! We are already planning to return next year!

    From the moment I opened the curtains and saw the fall colored trees and the lovely pond out front I knew this was going to be the quiet retreat we were looking for. Wether walking the trails or driving we saw many deer squirrels and birds. This home is a gem it was clean and had everything we needed. Would love to stay there again

    Traveled from Montana to visit hubby’s family. What a great, cute little place to stay. Our dog loved his home away from home. Had everything we needed and loved the fire pits and serene location! Will stay again if the opportunity comes up!

    This is the second time my wife, dog and I have stayed here and it was just as great as the last time we stayed. The house is nice and clean, the pond is great and it's very peacefully located out in the woods. Plan on staying here again next year at least once.

    We needed a weekend away and found this gem. It was great! The pond was a little low but we still fished and the kids loved playing in the sand and water. We took the paddle boat out a few times. Not only that, but we were only 15 minutes away from Manistee. We were able to drive to town and spend some time on the beach. The downtown is great to walk around. And it was nice to come back to the house and enjoy the peace and quiet. The house was great too! The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. Overall great experience, we would love to visit again!
