- "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!"
