This property was nice. The pictures were taken some time ago and are not super current. The kitchen is well stocked with whatever you need to use to cook with. The house is spacious. There is an unpleasant smell that hits you as soon as you walk in and follows through your stay. This property owner definitely try’s hard to make you comfortable they just need to take a few extra measures with the smell. Let me reiterate that we enjoyed our stay! It is quiet and private and secure. The smell is our major complaint but is an easy fix.

Clean, convenient and affordable

This was our second time staying here for only one night on our way to drive our son to camp. We enjoyed the updates made to the house (smart TV, WIFI). It's clean and has everything you need to cook at home. Beds were comfortable. We really enjoyed the deck at night. We had excellent communication from the host - she answers any questions almost immediately and was able to accommodate a late check-out request which made our trip even more convenient. We had dinner at Timbers and breakfast at Patty Cakes - both were very good and affordable. I'd definitely stay again and would love to extend it to 2 days so we could explore the beautiful river and Manistee National forest.

Not accurate

I don’t know how or where people said it’s beautiful— what river. Couldn’t see any water. It’s all over grown and not very clean. Outside patio was the size of a coffee table. No room to walk around. The house was clean. But not maintained. Windows hard to open. Bugs filled the window sils.

Was a perfect cabin for our wedding visit. Well stocked with everything we needed. Clean, comfortable and a good value for two couples. Everthing was as advertised, close to venue and market in Mesick for essentials. Thanks

Great Trip

The Host KimMe is AMAZING!Very accommodating and ready to help with any issues that may arise.I saw a comment about well water, the cabin had a water container with filter in the fridge and it was fine. We were only a few minutes away from family. We came up to visit family. We are a family of 7 and it seemed very spacious for us. We would book again!

Nice but BEWARE...

Very disappointed that owner charged me an extra $60 to replace approx 12" piece of floor molding that cracked simply by moving the kitchen chair to get up from table - it certainly was not an intentional or careless action that resulted in the damage (I wasn't even sure that it had not been cracked prior to our stay). Owner also accused us of climbing over a wire fence - we are 54 and 57 years old and would never consider such an action especially when the other side of the fence was steep drop off down to the river.
