    very clean like new conditions in home. lots of parking and nice to keep our car in the garage in case of storms(which we never had). dont be scared of the gravel driveway. we kept our vehicle in 2 wheel drive and only a few pot holes to drive around, no giant up hill climbs. super secluded and peaceful setting...no other houses or people in sight, just us and the birds. back yard grass was just a little long. if you are looking for a quiet place to relax this is it. we traveled back and forth 1-2 times a day exploring the area and of course the casino in manistee.

    Beautiful property, nice amenities including plenty of space, plenty of bathrooms, plenty of dishes, plenty of parking. We loved the remoteness and had no issues with the dirt roads. There was plenty of room for playing board games, hanging out, and having fun. The four-seater whirlpool tub in the master bathroom was icing on the cake after days of sand dunes and canoeing.

    Chose property because of layout and bedrooms since we had three kids with us. They loved the bunk beds and the huge tub. Property is remote so you can’t just run out and grab something if you forget it. 4WD recommended for access although we did not have problems getting in with our car. Heavy rains can cause washouts so plan ahead. Considering returning next year!

    Quiet piece of northern Michigan forest - plenty of room for outdoor activities on the property and in the BnB. Our group had an amazing time. It was about a 20 minute drive to Lake Michigan. Property came fully equipped for large meals & a bed for every person. Would definitely come back!

    We enjoyed the house. Had everything we needed. Kept drive plowed throughout our stay. Would have appreciated better communication from property management, but other than that, loved the property.

    This is the perfect place to have an up north getaway. Lots of room. Great views. And saw a lot of wildlife - Pileated woodpecker, coyote, squirrels, grouse, turkeys and deer.

    The property was exactly as described and there was plenty of room for our party of 7. Beautiful property with complete privacy and the owners were more than gracious and accommodating. Will definitely stay here again!
