Peace in the pines

We had the most amazing trip. The cottage is cute and cozy and had all the basic amenities we needed. The view out the front window was beautiful and peaceful. Enjoyed looking out by the fire and drinking our coffee every morning. Great location and not far from town for the needed grocery runs etc. It was a relaxing trip and we enjoyed our time on the trails. We are already planning our next trip back up to enjoy some spring summer and fall fun. Hank and Heather were excellent hosts.

Outdoorsman's paradise

We rented Hank's place to get out and about in the surrounding public lands. Hank was very knowledgeable of the area and more than willing to share his favorite locations and trails with us. The cabin was comfortable and very conveniently located. Hank was an excellent host making sure we were comfortable and satisfied with our experience throughout. Highly recommend.

Upnorth Trip

This place was misrepresented in the description that was online at the time. This place is not on the water. There is no view of a lake and the dock that is shown is about a half a block down the street. We were so disappointed and the owner did not work with us at all In fact, upon arrival, the book on the table described it more in detail, which should’ve been put on the description online, and the owner decided to change the description after we complained, Which was deceitful needless to say we had to file a claim with Vrbo.

Great property with very hospitable owner

We enjoyed a long weekend here with our family of four. Hank gave us great recommendations, the property was clean and well maintained, and the dock fishing was great. We will definitely be back.

About the host

Hosted by Hank

Host profile image
We’ve owned the cottage since 1998! Enjoy what the area offers so much that when the opportunity presented itself we bought a place 1/2 mile from the cottage and moved here in June 2023. We’ll leave you alone, but if interested have a lot of info about all things Cadillac, the National Forest… so much available right from the cottage.

Why they chose this property

350 yards to Manistee National Forest foot trail access in the Brandy Brook Wildlife area. Abundant wildlife. (I spotted black bear the first Saturday in August) Great hunting or hiking.

1/4 mile to boat launch. Only 4 miles to Cadillac West for good restaurants and all the basics or 7 miles to downtown Cadillac for anything else.
14 mile drive to Caberfae, 30 miles to Crystal Mtn.
ORV-OHV -snowmobile trail 6= 2.7 rideable miles. Seasonal roads for exploring = 2.25 miles.

What makes this property unique

Cozy, but well laid out with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms at an affordable rate. Quality bedding and linens.
Makes for a comfortable environment with some privacy for couples or a family!
