Wonderful Thanksgiving

Beautiful location within Manistee National Forest. There was plenty of refrigerator and freezer space for our pre-cooked Thanksgiving dinner. We hoped to do more hiking and outdoor activities during our week stay, but weather didn't cooperate. We had a great time anyway, playing lots of board games!

Fishing Trip

It ended up that only 3 stayed at the property, and, over all, it was a good stay. The grill worked, but, not well, otherwise, everything was good.

Respite from the storm…

Alex & Inna’s spectacular accommodations provided me respite in the storm… close to home; a house fire left me homeless and their Vrbo in the Manistee Forest in Branch, is literally down the road from my cabin in the woods. I actually had the opportunity to meet Alex & Inna, what kindhearted and caring neighbors. The home itself was maintained beautifully and immaculately. Their attention to details unprecedented. They supplied everything I needed, and then some. Then there is the property. What a majestic sanctuary. Trails through the forest and a pond add to the charismatic charm of this Vrbo.. They have my two thumbs up and eternal gratitude for proving such a lovely space. I already scheduled another stay at their property!

Almost perfect!

Our stay stay was almost perfect! The few things that I could list were so small that they had almost no effect the quality of our stay. There were some areas (mostly the basement) where the trim was not finished, the back deck doesn't get enough sun to dry off the lovely sectional piece out there, there was some broken pottery in the front landscaping that was broken, the lights were difficult to manage (especially the outdoor lights). The main thing that did effect our trip was that there was not enough toilet paper provided and we had to get more while we were there. We never informed the owners, so they did not have a chance to being more. The main thing to know is that we would definitely stay there again.

Nice, secluded "home base" for our extended family getaway

Privacy, fully stocked kitchen, plenty of towels, nice fire pit. Friendly owners-- we didn't need to contact them during the stay but we had their info just in case. Our kids loved the zip line and the games and toys that were provided. Several bathrooms and bedrooms to accommodate our group of 9. Walk out basement with bedrooms downstairs worked out nicely for letting dogs out easily. Really cool, eclectic decor, lighting. A bit of a drive to go on excursions but part of the appeal was being out in the woods! We were able to drive about 40 minutes to Silver Lake, 40 minutes to Ludington.

Had a great time with family. The zipline was loved by my nephews and niece. The cabin seemed much bigger in person compared to the pictures.

Cozy Cabin!

We had such an amazing stay at this property. This home is secluded and quiet yet not to far from Ludington and Lake Michigan. Great place to stay if planning on using the trails to ride. The log cabin is so cozy and has all the amenities you need and more. My family had a great trip and made many memories here.
