Its a cabin with an outdoor bathroom

And its great! The wife and I had a blast for our wedding anniversary trip. The cabin is cute, clean, and centrally located for all the activities the Leelanau peninsula has to offer. We would absolutely stay at the cabin again, and would recommend it to anyone wanting to check out that part of the state.

In the woods

Very Rustic! We were out and about most of the time so it worked well for 2 people over 70 years old! It was nicely done, slightly smaller than we anticipated, so we had to leave stuff in the car. The loft was unique, but the ladder was not hard to navigate during the night when heading out to the bathroom (outhouse)! We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Thank you for having us!

Cozy rustic cabin

This little cabin was the perfect cozy getaway located perfectly for wine tasting. The fireplace kept us warm at night in the early fall, can only imagine how magical it looks during peak color change!

Perfect, Private Retreat to explore the Leelenau Peninsula

Cozy cottage under a beautiful canopy of trees. Had everything needed to rest after a busy day of adventures. Location was perfect for exploring Suttons Bay, Northport, Leelenau State Park and Leland. Can't wait to come back for more wine tasting, bike riding, hiking and clear blue waters! If you're planning to use the fire pit, be sure to pick up wood in the area and bring your fire starter supplies.

We loved it! It's off the main road, making it quiet and relaxing. Easy access to nearby towns.

We loved both the cabin and location! Good owner directions left for us on the table: clear and concise. We enjoyed browsing the brochures of local sites. Easy access to the venues we were visiting. We recommend this cabin!

perfect little cottage

The owner was fantastic. We were headed there when she informed us of a power outage in the area, causing the cottage to not have water. She offered us a full refund, which we declined because we needed to stay there since it was such short notice. She even said she would meet us to give us partial money back. The place was clean, beautiful and perfect location. It exceeded our expectations and I hope we can return here someday again!

Hidden Gem

Nice centralized location to see both Sleeping Bear Dunes and Traverse City/ Old Mission Peninsula. Adorable little cabin. The loft and outdoor living space made this a unique and fun experience. I especially loved the modern farmhouse style decor. This was a nice change from the typical “up north” cabin decor of row boats, bears, deer antlers etc.

Great Getaway Cabin

We really loved this place. It was 10-20 minutes from everything we wanted to do (hiking, wine tasting, food, etc) and the cabin was super clean and nice. It did take a little adjusting to get used to the compost toilet and outdoor shower, but it added to the adventure for us. We would definitely come back!
