- "This was a brief stay in mid-March, however, this was a very nice place and would be great in the warmer months. It has a great view of the lake and would be a wonderful place for an extended stay." - "We loved the view of the lake and the use of pontoon rental. Our first day was quite chilly , but we managed to get the heating unit up and running. Was just the right size for the two of us to relax. The location was tricky to find at first but make sure to follow map instructions for main as there is no street sign and is for sure a steep hill right down to the water.Would like to suggest steps to get onto the deck as this is a climp up if you are short.We would like to rent a few cottages in the future for family trip next time."

We were closer to traverse city than i thought, and made trips into town almost daily. Tom was a great host and communicated with me whenever was needed.

THE CABIN IS NOW CLOSED FOR THE 2025 SEASON. Thanks for spending part of your Spring, Summer, or Fall at the Cabin. Over the years I have found the Cabin to be a wonderful, quiet retreat. Traverse City has grown tremendously over the past few years, yet the Cabin and property have not changed much at all. Even though people continue to build throughout the area, you still see geese and loon in the early spring, hear owl during quiet nights, and see deer in the water in late fall.

The Cabin is a special place. It is a unique combination of a rustic log cabin and a modern furnished home, on a beautiful piece of property near a busy Traverse City. Please do not expect to be staying at the Grand Traverse Resort, or the Holiday Inn. The Cabin definitely has its own character. Not all the windows have screens, the driveway is not paved, and the chipmunks will join you during your morning coffee. But give the Cabin a few days, and I think you will feel what I feel, and you may be a little disappointed that time is going by so quickly. Enjoy it while you're there.

Individuals and couples only. Pet friendly. Minimum three night stay required.

Comfy and cozy! We will be back to this hidden treasure! Thank you" - "The cabin was very well equipped and cozy . We enjoyed relaxing outside by the lake watching the birds and ducks and took the rowboat out with our little dog. Dr Ed went out of his way to check in with us and fill us in on the cabin etc .
