The accommodations were well suited for the occasion, and there was nothing lacking according to what was represented by the advertisement. Surely an excellent cabin to rent for a fishing or hunting trip
We spent two nights at Shawn’s cabin for a quick anniversary getaway. It was clean, the location was private and peaceful, and Shawn was very responsive, kind and accommodating. We’d love to return!
Very clean and cozy cabin. Loved the gun range and we will be staying again next year!

This cabin was in an ideal location. The property is beautiful. We enjoyed staying there except the bed was uncomfortable and creaked loudly everytime either my husband or myself turned over.
The cabin was exactly what we were hoping for. Do to weather we weren’t able to explore the property though. We will definitely be back to do just that.
We really enjoyed the gun range. There was no power when we arrived due to high winds, the owner was very nice and gave an alternate, very nice, property to stay that was pretty close by. Thanks so much Shawn!
My husband and some of our close friends stayed at the cabin for the North Country Trail race weekend. The cabin was super clean, roomy, and close to the start/finish. This is the place we will want to stay every time we go back for this race or if we just want to spend the weekend in Manistee!

Cozy, clean cabin in the woods. Close to trails and Tippy Dam. About 20 minutes from downtown Manistee which is a very cute town. Just a little noisy at times with the traffic since it’s right off the main highway.
Very modern cabin - owner has recently updated the interior & it's better than ever! We have stayed here twice & always enjoy the setting & nearby attractions. The price is very reasonable with everything you need including laundry, beds, modern kitchen, outdoor firepit & access to the main road. I highly recommend it!
Cute and cozy little cabin. Very very clean. we enjoyed the shooting range right off the porch. Check in and out was a breeze. Right off the road from the trails. Only complaints were that the bed wasn’t very comfy and the headboard was noisy upon any slight movement. Overall we really enjoyed our getaway and would stay here again!
My wife and I were celebrating an anniversary weekend together and wanted a secluded yet "close to town" spot to stay. This place was perfect. Everything was clean and ready for us when we got there. I let the owner know ahead of time that we would be checking in quite late and it wasn't an issue. Highly recommend vacationing here as well as visiting some hiking trails around the area!

Such a beautiful, quaint cabin!! We loved our stay and felt comfortable and at home. We enjoyed the charcoal grill (who doesn't love BBQ steak bought from the local market?!), and the firepit consumed our evenings. We chose this cabin because of its location; small town feels, but only an hour away from Traverse City!!!! (where we spent the day, and were more than happy to bring our wine back to the cabin for a relaxing evening) Shawn was super responsive, and we can't wait to come back and stay again!
My husband and I were looking for a peaceful, secluded cabin near Lake Michigan for our annual trip up north, and this was perfect! Very clean and tidy, with all the amenities needed to prepare meals after a day at the beach and then kick back and relax around the campfire at night. We loved it! Owners are super friendly and respond quickly to messages. Thank you so much for everything. We'll be back someday for sure.

About the host
Hosted by Shawn Mullins
My wife and I both work full time and we have 3 red heads. We love to travel and love sharing our cabin with other people and families. We LOVE this part of Michigan and feel like it is truly God's country. We get great satisfaction when happy customers call after their stay and tell us how much they enjoyed the cabin and how beautiful it is in that part of the state. We take pride in our place and can assure you that it will be clean and comfortable!
Why they chose this property
Our cabin is very secluded but very easy to get to. I grew up in the area and always wanted a place of my own. We love the area and all that it offers. There are 2 ski resorts, a casino, 2 spas, snowmobile trails, hiking trails, and a ton of streams and lakes all within a 20 minute drive.
What makes this property unique
Our property borders hundreds of acres of Manistee National Forest which can be used by renters. Tons of wildlife in the area ( turkey, deer, bear, squirrel, great bird watching, and its VERY relaxing!!
