Amazing get away to the north
During the first night of check in, Karen was kind enough to show us around her property as well as led us into the cozy, private, and beautiful cabin. The cabin had all the things that we needed to stay comfortable. Karen even had a dog blanket ready for our dog, cooper! The shared bath house was squeaky clean, and had all the amenities you need for a nice shower. We also got to fish at the bear river, which is around 20 yards from the cabin. The fuel lamps were enough to keep the cabin bright. Will be back!!!!

Return to our favorite area in Michigan
Even though the listing and reviews mentioned that it was rustic, we didn’t understand that electricity was only by a generator that we had to bring or rent. The access was also difficult- a bumpy ride on a long path in our pick up truck. The setting was beautiful! The cabin was decorated very cute and the outdoor area was charming. The price was right and location excellent for our desire to spend time at our favorite places in Petoskey. This cabin is more conducive for someone wanting a more secluded “camping “ experience.

Nice remote cabin
Karen’s property was really beautiful. The cabin is a bit of a walk through a campsite and into the woods, perfect if you like to feel remote. The cabin was very clean and her check in process was thorough and easy. There is a nice outdoor kitchen set up with pots and pans and propane, . I will say the cabin gets very dark, even during the day, so it’s a good idea to bring flash lights and some LED lanterns if you have them. It was a bit too cold this weekend to canoe, but perfect weather for having a fire and staying in. :) The wood burning stove was really fun, and Karen is attentive and helpful if you should need her. As for Petoskey, my partner and I really fell in love with the area and hope to return soon!

Incredible!
I could not have imagined a better weekend stay the property is beautiful and secluded right on Bear River! Karen is an amazing host and will accommodate any needs You may have that she is capable of. The cabin is so cozy, and even though we didn’t bring a generator the fuel lamps were cozy and took me back in time, The decor everywhere it’s just amazing and we brought way more supplies that we needed as she has everything well stocked! We didn’t want to leave, and we even canceled our Skybridge walk, because the property was so amazing . We will definitely return as often as we can.

Great place to get away
It was a great stay, very private, and wonderful scenery. Karen was very prompt in her responses to any questions I had both before my arrival, and during my stay. There was plenty to do in the area, but the campground was perfect for staying in. All in all, a very welcome vacation

Great Secluded Peaceful Cabin
My partner and I had a wedding to attend in Indian River, so we stayed here for two nights (with our dog!) It is September, so the nights are chilly - perfect for the campfire and the wood burning stove. It was such a peaceful spot to come back to after the wedding. Be sure to read all the details- there is only electric if you provide the generator, as well as a neat outdoor kitchen. If you plan to cook or grill bring your own firewood/charcoal. And there is an outhouse right behind the cabin, as well as access to a full bath house, however it is up at the front of the property and you park at the bottom of the hill and walk up. As long as you are aware of these details, it is such a cute little cabin and surrounding area!! We truly did enjoy it!!

Karen is a wonderful host. We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Loved the location- secluded, yet close to downtown. It has private access to the river, right in the backyard. Serene environment. We also loved all the details of the decoration in the cabin. Definitely will be back!!

Rustic. Great place to get away from all the conveniences of home. No electricity. No water. Very clean outhouse. Adorable cabin. The outdoor kitchen was unique. The bathhouse was on the property but a long way from cabin. The host was fabulous! Overall a great experience.

This is exactly what me and my husband needed and more❣️ The cabin has a cute rustic homey feeling. The outside kitchen has pretty much what you need and the property is just amazing. Our host Karen was so friendly and there if you need anything. Completely unplugged from the world and enjoyed our vacation ❣️ Thank you again Karen and can't wait to come back 🙌😉 I do recommend bringing some kind of wagon for when you leave, to help get your stuff out.

Everything was just perfect. Karen's an incredibly welcoming and accommodating hostess. The cabin is secluded, yet close enough to everything. My dog and I enjoyed kayaking the river right outside our door. It was definitely worth every penny (and our long drive to Petoskey!).

Fun secluded little cabin
Was a great little secluded place in the woods for time away. Supplied most amenities ie cooking pots & utensils, great bed, and oil lamps. Could use a waste basket, a mirror in the cabin & an ax for chopping wood would be good additions but not big issues. The lack of accessible drinking & cooking water was the biggest problem. Needed to go to town and buy jugs of water. Overall, a great place to get away from the world for a bit.
