Guest Reviews:

- "The cabin is nice and clean. We very much enjoyed the close proximity to the 5th Avenue Beach. The price is reasonable." - "The Industrial cabin is clean and comfortable. We had a family of 7. There is only one full bathroom but we made it work. There is no washer and dryer. I miss that. The owner was so great on all the details that she put in to this cabin. She put an extra object outside to hang our beach towels or clothes. There are hooks right inside to hang our bath towels. There was a place for everything. It has closets in each room. There is a corn hole game that my kids loved playing. A fire pit that our whole family enjoyed in the evenings. It was a great location. It’s peaceful. We would stay here again."

- "Wonderful property. Very secluded loved how clean the house was. We had everything we needed to cook with. Outside area was great for cooking on the grill and the fire pit and Edison lights. It was close enough for us to do day trips to Ludington sleeping bear dunes and Traverse City. And to come back with plenty of time to relax enjoy the two trails and the peace and quiet will definitely come back here again my wife, my 19-year-old son a 17 year old daughter, and my five year old daughter loved it. We had plenty of room. We never turned the TV on once. hung out, played cards and just listened to nature. Already miss it."

Will plan on staying again" - "It was like staying in a one bedroom apartment.It was clean and great for the price. It had everything we needed. The snack basket was a nice, unexpected touch. Really appreciated the Folgers coffee. The sign out by the road needs some clean up to be seen better. My son and I came up to ride the trails, so it just worked well for us. The host was easy to get a hold of and was very pleasant. We would recommend to others and come again. "

Guest Reviews:

- "Cabin is so cute and cozy! We enjoyed our stay!" - "Very nice quiet getaway!" - "The Little Red Cabin was absolutely perfect for three of us to stay for five nights on our annual trip to Michigan. The cabin is in a perfect location for access to Pine River. It was super clean and stacked with everything you would need for a summer trip (coffee, s’mores supplies, grill, firewood, etc.). We drank coffee every morning on the porch and enjoyed the fresh air and quiet. My only comment is that the shower is standard for a little cabin - meaning that it is small. If you are a bigger person this may be a challenge for you. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back at the little red cabin in the future!"
