Features and Amenities
What Our Guests Are Saying
-
The host was welcoming for a group of 8 adults and 11kids and we had space for everyone, we loved all the amenities and wish to stay there longer in the future. Also Biking and home trail in front of the cabin And Kayaking on 5 min car ride
-
Dan's place was absolutely amazing for our large family. There were so many extra features such as robes and house shoes and games. It was so much better than described. We will definitely stay at this property again and also at one of their other properties. I cannot say enough positive remarks. 5 stars all the way.
-
We had a great time with our group of friends here. The house is beautiful! The amenities make it so fun. Dan and Lisa go above and beyond to make your time in their space extra special and easy going. Highly recommend.
-
Had a fantastic time staying at the lodge, easily accommodated our group of 22 and had so many great amenities. I would absolutely stay here again for a summer or ski trip in northern Michigan!
-
The title says it all. A good place to get away.
-
As we unpacked, I noticed even the driveway was cleared of dirt and debris. I knew it would be a great stay if even that was prepared so beautifully. The home was tidy, had ample dishes and blankets etc for our crew of 25. Despite having such a large group, we all felt like the space was large enough that we could “get away” into different pockets of spaces. I highly recommend this property and this host!

We had a great experience on a beautiful property!
-
This property was fantastic! Everything was perfect, from booking to host communication to check in, check out and especially how accommodating the host was. They definitely went above and beyond for us as we wanted a hibachi company to come make our group dinner. They hadn't had that request prior so they wanted to make sure everything and everyone would be safe! It was the perfect celebration for my husband's 60th birthday! The place is beautiful too. Plenty of space, beautiful property and so many fun games to enjoy. We loved it!
