Perfect Weekend Escape

My friend and I had the best weekend at this property! The information regarding location, local amenities, and the cabin itself were spot on and it was SO clean! We loved waking up to seeing the blue jays and cardinals enjoying their breakfast from the back deck and it was exactly the relaxing experience we were hoping for!

Weekend getaway

The A frame was nice and cozy. Check in was easy. A nice place to unwind and relax. Had to communicate with owner about a leak that we found when we checked in and they were quick to respond. The firewood that was supposed to be there for the inside wasn’t there but that was ok. Overall we had a nice relaxing weekend.

Charming and very quiet.

Very nice clean cabin with a very nice setting on a small pond. Pond kept the kids busy fishing with some very nice sized bass. Cabin is also close to orv trails and other lakes. Other towns are not far away and the host will let you know where the best hikes, restaurant's and lakes are when you book.

A-Frame

We loved our stay at the A frame for a quiet and relaxing anniversary get away. All positives except for a little bit of dog hair on the furniture when we arrived and a light globe that fell in the middle of the night and broke a plate in the kitchen sink and scared us quite a bit! But the place is extremely cozy and picturesque. We will definitely look to stay here when we are back in the area!

Vacation for the Dog!

We have a dog that recently lost his dog brother so we wanted to take him on a vacation. This place had everything we needed and more. It was private, comfortable, and a great place to stay. There were trails for us to walk on and plenty of place to sit and relax outside. We didn’t venture out much, but we did try the pizza in Mio and it was pretty good. Anyhow, we loved our stay so much that we booked another weekend there for next month!

Family Vacation

The Aframe was perfect. Very cozy and stocked with everything we could need. We caught so many fish, and had such a relaxing week. The kids loved the amusement park that is nearby. Very peaceful area, and the caretakers do a wonderful job maintaining the grounds and trails.

About the host

Hosted by Derek

The Detweiler's built the AFrame in 1969 and have been renting to vacationers ever since that time. There are many second generation families still vacationing at these cabins that they stayed at during their childhood. Our family has recently started to manage the property with our main goal being to keep everything like Ruel and Sara managed it. Our family has been coming to the Detweiler's cabins since 1982; hunting, fishing and enjoying nature. We have so many fond memories of our times spent here and we know that many other families have similar cherished memories here. That's what makes this place so special to so many.

Why they chose this property

This is a beautiful place to enjoy all four seasons. In the spring, maple syrup is made from trees on the property, wild flowers, and mushrooms abound in the area. Spring is a good time to view deer, turkey, and migrating birds. Summer is family time for hiking, fishing, swimming, or basking in the Michigan sun. There is time for day trips to Mackinaw Island, or Light Houses along the shore. In the fall, the autumn colors are some of the best in the state. Winter snow and frozen lakes bring joy to skiers, snowmobilers, and ice fisherman. This is also time to enjoy a good book by the crackling fireplace.

What makes this property unique

The A-Frame cottage is unique with its open stairway leading to the third bedroom in the open loft with upper deck off the bedroom. WiFi is available and allows you to bring your work with you if you choose. The dishwasher and wood burning fireplace are also newer to the AFrame. The best thing that many enjoy, is the privacy and away- from- it- all feeling that you have when you stay here.
