Comfy/Cozy A-Frame Log Cabin

This is a perfect place if you like the woods, rolling hills, gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, beautiful small towns with quaint shops & restaurants, etc. This cabin is sizeable, perfect for 2 to 4 people. Very clean, nicely decorated, comfortable (& great TV/sound system), good location, everything we wanted. Thanks Bruce & Luna -- we love your place!

Fantastic property and experience!

We had a wonderful 4-night stay. The carriage house is super safe and very clean and comfortable for a small family like ours. We enjoyed private off street parking and access to a fishing pond (catch and release), bbq grill, and fire pit. Water pressure in the shower is good and the kitchen is equipped with all the basics. The property is centrally located to numerous beaches, golf, hiking trails, and restaurants. The property owner is a fantastic person who was easy to work with, as well. Definitely an excellent experience in every way.

The Epitome of Perfect Experience

This property/owner should be in your advertising. This is the exact reason people should chose listings like this as opposed to “corporate” hotels/locations. Host was super friendly and responsive. Property was beautiful, cozy, and impeccably cleaned. Being our first VRBO experience I am afraid Bruce (property owner) has set the bar too high for others. Bravo!!

Great stay!

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. The grounds were immaculate, and the setting very peaceful. Great location with an east drive to the dunes, several hikes, beaches and Empire, Glen Arbor and Traverse City. We met Bruce, the owner, one morning and he was very friendly and gave us suggestions for hiking, restaurants and beaches. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful stay

If you’re trying to decide if you should book this, absolutely do it !! My fiancé and I stayed for a long weekend and this little cabin was perfect!! It felt very private and had an absolutely stunning view of the lake that we could not stop staring at. The details from the lamps to the wooden stools, the dimmable lighting, it was too cute. We met Bruce and his grandson briefly as we packed up to leave and they were very sweet. We absolutely hope to go back again!! Thanks for a wonderful weekend! (Also we went in the fall and the colors over the lake are unmatched, absolutely beautiful!)

Beautiful Property

We really enjoyed staying at this property and hope to come back again someday. It is absolutely beautiful. My kids loved watching the dozens of frogs from the dock and I loved sneaking peaceful mornings / evenings on the dock. The cabin was nice and as described. My only thing to note is that as the listing says it is a small fridge. It is very small if you are trying to store a week’s worth of groceries. The owner was so kind and gave great suggestions for exploring the area. There is so much explore nearby!

Beautiful Property

The property was gorgeous inside and out and was also very clean. The small lake behind the property was such a beautiful piece of nature. I loved to sit near it and listen to all of the birds and wildlife. Loved being just a short drive from sleeping bear dunes and also Traverse City. Can’t wait to go back!
