Lots of room and kitchen with lots of essentials.

We went skiing right after Christmas for a couple of days at Caberfae Peaks. The house has lots of room and the kitchen was well stocked with essentials. The mattresses could use an update and it would have been better if there was another 1/2 bath, but we enjoyed our stay.

Guys' church group.

Accommodations much nicer than expected. Perfect sleeping arrangements for our church group of 12 guys. We kayaked the nearby Manistee on Saturday and hang out at the campfire on Fri and Sat nights. Kitchen had all we needed for making meals. Used grill for burgers. Will return again next year!

Home away from home

We had a wonderful stay!!!. The host, Wayne was very accommodating and quick with his responses to any questions we had. The home was spacious and very clean. The beds were comfy and we had more than a few fun nights by the campfire. It had everything thing we needed and more. Large parking for trucks and trailers. Close to ATV trails for riding, the river for kayaking and local towns and state land for exploring. What more could you ask for? A++

Excellent location in Northern Michigan

I went up to this place for the spring Hoxeyville concert. Everything was as described, great communication with Wayne, and tons of beds! We really enjoyed the fire pit and the outdoor space. Off the road a touch but GPS led us right to the door. Tons to do in this beautiful part of Michigan. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Wayne!

Perfect for our long weekend snowboarding trip

I booked this stay for my boyfriend's birthday with a handful of friends for a snowboarding trip. We loved our stay! It was quiet and private and had all the country charm you could ask for. Caberfae Peaks being a very short drive is a huge plus if you're wanting to hit the hills. The house was clean and very accommodating for our group. Wayne was super communicative and answered all my questions quickly. Would definitely recommend staying here☺️

Spacious home away from home

Camp Boonie was everything we hoped it would be for our large group of ten. The children loved playing football on the spacious property, enjoyed the campfire s’mores, and the house had so many rooms and space that we didn’t even feel like there were ten of us. Everything was clean, organized, labeled, it was by far the best rental we’ve found near Tippy Dam for our annual family salmon fishing trip. We look forward to coming back next year!

Nice getaway

This is a very nice cabin that is well taken care of. It was a great time out of the normal city life. The grandbabies loved the outside and wore themselves out playing and running around. Definitely trying for another trip.

Family weekend

Had a great time. The only downside was there’s no air conditioning and it was in the 90’s. We enjoyed the fire pit and the surrounding woods. The house was well equipped and met our needs.

Morel Hunting Trip

This property was great! Very clean, comfortable beds, and had everything you could need. Another couple came with us for a long weekend of morel hunting. We only found around 25-30, but still enjoyed our time. Very peaceful and quiet location. We enjoyed the local Crossroads Bar & Grill. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Angel, the owner, was fantastic and cooks great bluegill! Highly recommend this property!! Wayne was extremely easy to work with and had great communication! Would definitely come back!

Fishing Trip

A group of us stayed and fished nearby waters and had a great experience. We each had our own fresh bed and the place was well stocked. We fired up the grill, cooked a big dinner and had some drinks around the fire pit in the evenings. The place is private, but within a few miles of a store and some good trout water. We plan to come back.
