I was searching for a "cabin in the woods" for several weeks before I finally came upon this cabin. I am so incredibly thankful to have found such an amazing place for my retreat. When I drove up the driveway I was pleasantly surprised by the beauty and quietness of my surroundings. Then as I drove a little more and arrived at the cabin, I stepped out of the car to look around and literally wept. Your breathe will be taken away at the seclusion, beauty and peace you will feel during your entire stay. I am artist/photographer and writer and needed a place where there wouldn't be any noise except nature, no neighbors, no car noises, I didn't want to see a row of "cabin motels" and be in the middle of a noisy camp like atmosphere. I wanted and needed complete isolation for some therapy work I am doing, and I got exactly what I needed...an overwhelming feeling of peace, calm and joy even amongst the difficult work I was doing. And the art/photo opportunities are ENDLESS!!! I spent a lot of time just exploring in the woods, walking down to the lake, found a wonderful and peaceful spot on the River , loved watching the sunset over the lake Michigan and sitting on the enclosed deck writing and enjoying the view. My 10 days here were life changing. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this cabin, its' surroundings and the very professional way the owner answered my many questions all up until my day of arrival. The owners provided amazing customer service, gave cell numbers in case of emergency, left the cabin in beautiful clean condition (along with a cozy fire which just added to the already peaceful atmosphere as I walked in), and had the cabin stocked with all the necessities. The property is accurately described along with detailed photos, but really if you think the photos are beautiful wait until you are actually there, it will take your breathe away too! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this cabin to anyone, any age, and especially for those art/writers that need peace and quiet to just think and recharge their soul. You will not be disappointed! - Jennifer - Stayed Apr 22, 2011
