The cabin was very clean. If we had a problem with anything, the owners were very very prompt on taking care of it.
There really isn't anything we disliked.
I love the setting and the host were spectacular
It was beautiful and clean
That campfire was available at the cabin site
Cozy, Comfy, and FUN!!!
My family and I absolutely loved this location. The owners were amazing at working with me for last minute changes to my check in. They were not rude like most places; they were very understanding. The cabin was cozy and comfy. The bedrooms were small yet perfect for us. If I had to give one downfall, I would say that the bathroom is downstairs from the upstairs bedrooms. However, it's not a deal breaker because I would still come here over and over!! My brother and his family stayed in the cabin next to us. We kept the in-between doors unlocked so we could go back and forth to each other's rooms and the cousins could play. We also lit a bonfire one night and shared a lot of memories and laughs. I will definitely be visiting this resort again.
Bathrooms were on the lower leave while the bedrooms were on the upper. It was not bad at all, but that would be the only negative thing. I still LOVED the cabin!!
Love the location! Right on the Betsie River. All the modern amenities that you would want or need.
The shower was a little small for my liking.
Beautiful scenery, cute and comfortable cabins with all the necessary amenities
Great trip. Will always recommend.
Small and cozy. Perfect place to get away, conveniently located near several attractions.
Unfortunately, you can't escape the noise of the highway. Nights, however, were amazing, without traffic noise, and with the incredible view of the stars.
