About this property

Bonfire Holler Cabin

Live your life by a compass not a clock. Find your way to Bonfire Holler where you can unplug and relax. Cozy cabin on 20 acres (occasional neighbor across the road) where you can enjoy snowmobiling in the Gaylord/Grayling area or ATV riding in the Frederic area. Only 10 mins from Hartwick Pines State Park with camping, hiking trails and cross country skiing. Or cross country skiing and snowshoeing just a couple miles away at Forbush Corner. 20 min drive from Treetops Resort in Gaylord.

There are two bedrooms upstairs, each with a queen bed. The living room on the main floor has a sofa sleeper.

Pets are allowed we just ask that they stay off the furniture; there is plenty of room for dogs to run around the 10 acres. Please disclose if you are bringing a pet as there is a small cleaning fee.

We have a large driveway, please park on the gravel not the grass.
Fire pit: you can use any brush you find, but bring wood.
Charcoal grill: bring charcoal.

A door lock code will be provided when you book. There is a surveillance camera monitoring the front door/drive. (No cameras/devices inside cabin).

There is one seasonal neighbor in the area.
Camp Grayling is located near I-75 where at times they have trainings (check their FB page for schedules as you can occasionally hear planes/booms in the distance).

We don’t allow extra guests without a reservation (no camping tents/RVs).

We ask that pets be kenneled if left at cabin while guests are not there.

Perfect!

We had a wonderful trip, the snow was deep and our gracious host came out to plow the drive for us before we got there! The pellet stove kept us toasty and we enjoyed the games and backyard snowball fights when we weren’t skiing. Wonderful visit and will return!

Quaint 2BR cabin

Cute 2BR cabin was quiet. Four wheel drive vehicle best to access in Winter. Bedrooms cold, necessitating doors to be left open for heat from pellet stove to reach them. Enjoyed the peaceful and natural setting.

Fall Get-a-Way

Pure Michigan weekend in a cozy and immaculate cabin in the woods. Enjoyed the ability to “unplug” and listen to “old-time” music on the record player. Cabin stayed cozy with the pellet stove. Close to Hartwick Pines State Park! Enjoyable and relaxing weekend in the woods. Very responsive owner. Highly recommend.

The Perfect Getaway

This was our second year visiting The Bonfire Holler and it was perfect. The host communicated and the place was clean and cozy. Our dogs absolutely loved the pet frendly carpet in the TV area and tge fuzzy one at the end of the bed in our room.We stayed longer and visited many National Parks in the area and further out. It was a wonderful stay and we will most definitely be back again next year.

Wonderful cabin

Although I had to cut our trip short due to an emergency, I was still able to enjoy and appreciate the stunning cabin and the local area. I cannot wait to go back and finish exploring. The host was an angel. I have nothing but great things to say.
