Little Manistee River Cabin

Located in the heart of the Manistee National Forest and the Little River is 75 yards away, fishing, kayaking, hunting, hiking, biking, ATV, snowmobiling. This is a real up north cabin. Fully furnished and all kitchens utensils. The cabin is located 5 miles from the Dublin store which has a hardware store and food! Truly an up north getaway. The fishing and hunting in the area is great. You can hike from the front door to the forest.

Overall, very clean. Shelves and windows need dusting. Great yard and fire pit. Convenient kitchen and appliances. Great TV with surround sound. Neighbors next door very loud on Saturday and Sunday. Otherwise, restful and relaxing. This was my second stay. Would return on a non-holiday weekend.

Not what I expected

This was more of a hunting cabin. Nothing was very clean, beds and couches were broken down. The cabinets, endtables, silverware were sticky, ceilings were dusty, floors were dusty and sandy. We washed the dishes beforehand. It was obvious that it had not been cleaned in forever. Even though they posted that we were to leave 30.00 on the table for extra cleaning..for the dog? We cleaned up after him as well. We could only tolerate 3 nights of our 5 night stay.

Cute & Private Getaway

Perfect little spot to spend a mountain biking and hiking weekend. The dogs loved the yard to run and play. Left for walks from the front door and had little to no traffic. Big M is 20 minutes away to ride the trails. Weather was perfect to spend most of our time outside. Cabin is super cute and cozy. We will definitely be back.
