Take a deep breath, let it out slowly and feel the world go away just a little bit. Hygge atmosphere...Like the greatest philosopher of all time Winnie the Pooh said, "You don't spell it you feel it." Cozy, warm, and charming. Small but spacious enough to be comfortable.



All you need for a QUIET reprieve.
Safe for the solo traveler, as host lives on property.






Nestled in the woods where wild life roams free, watch many species of birds enjoy the feeder outside the dining room window. The stars shine bright at night and occasionally you may hear the coyotes howl.

Natural lighting, live plants.

Live edge slab table makes for great dining or a comfortable workspace.

Cook up your favorite dinner in our little kitchen, stocked with pots and pans and the basics you need. Or use the gas grill or fire pit. There is plenty of fire wood for you to enjoy an evening around the fire.

Walking trails through the woods, cottage garden in season with fresh veggies and cut flowers outside your door in season.

Flat screen TV for you to live stream from your account. No channels or cable.
DVD player
Wi-Fi
If The Bungalow is booked for dates you want, check out Creek Side Cottage on same property.
The lane can be a mess due to spring rains, thawing and freezing and the construction going on with The Grain Bin Inn.

A Relaxing Retreat
I have stayed at many rental properties and this one stands out! It was located in such a quiet relaxing and private atmosphere, that I spent more time at the bungalow than planned. The kitchen and grill were fully equipped to make a meal, yet several good restaurants were only a 15 min drive away as well. The hosts were incredibly nice, accessible, and accommodating. I will definitely be back again.

Overnight at The Bungalow
Our (too short) overnight stay at The Bungalow was exactly what we were needing. A night away from it all. Peaceful and relaxing. Birdwatching, reading and wine make for a nice evening. The night sky was star filled. The unit was very clean and well thought out. Owners live on the property and seem to be available if you need anything.

EXTREMELY Charming and Relaxing
Stayed for two nights for 10yr wedding anniversary. Absolutely everything was amazing. Place is extremely relaxing and quiet. Updated modern inside with perfectly decorated with refreshing houseplants and minimalist décor. Bird feeders and MI bird book provided for easy bird watching and salt lick for deer right outside window. Host provide homemade and fresh cinnamon rolls for our breakfast! So much charm and relaxing; didn't want to leave - was hard to return to "real word". Will return!!!

Absolutely loved the little get away
My husband and I stayed here while on a ski trip for his birthday and I am absolutely in love with this little cozy cabin! Modern and cute yet very functional! It had everything we needed and more! It was very well equipped! We loved the cinnamon rolls they left in front of the door on my husband’s birthday! We will definitely be going back here if we are ever in the area again! Thank you for making my husband’s birthday so special

Beautiful Get Away
The property is very cute and cozy, and sits away from the road and at the edge of a forest. Great attention to detail in amenities and decor. Dawn was very accommodating and responded quickly via chat. Will likely return in the future.

Getaway success!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Just secluded enough, nice trails, comfortable and beautifully decorated. We certainly appreciated our host leaving us pumpkin chocolate chip muffins with a gorgeous butter rose! The extra touches provided meant we only needed to pack clothes and food for a quick getaway. Highly recommend this sweet little place!

Restful Recharge
Our stay far exceeded our expectations. The bungalow was spotless and cozy. It's tucked amongst the trees and we often sat and looked out the many windows at the natural beauty. We noted cardinals, hummingbirds, mourning doves, goldfinches, and sparrows. The location feels very private and quiet. We loved being able to spend time cooking meals together instead of eating out, and were delighted by all the details provided in the kitchen. Dawn is a gracious and thoughtful hostess. Highly recommend!

Peaceful sanctuary!
This is the place to go when you need a peaceful retreat from life! Peaceful, clean, beautifully decorated, comfortable furniture, nicely maintained walking trails through the woods, a well stocked bird feeder…everything about this bungalow was perfect for our Mother/daughter retreat. While it is small, the interior feels quite spacious. Dawn and Virgil were warm, welcoming, and attentive. Every encounter with them was pleasant. We will definitely be back!

Mother's Day weekend 2021
The location, comfort, size, layout of bungalow, ease of booking and contact with hostess was absolutely SPOT ON!!! Got exactly what we needed; which was a close, stress-free, happy get-away that wouldn't break the bank! Dawn is talented in the art of anticipatory hospitality and has a beautiful layout to share with those who are blessed enough to come across this wonderful place!!! I think it's obvious...we had a great stay! 😊
