Awesome!
We go up to northern Michigan every year to go ride the motorcycle trails. Uncle Don's cabin is definitely one of the nicest places we've stayed at. Tons of room, everything you need and right down the road from the trailhead. We would definitely recommend!

Lovely Quiet Cabin!
We booked for family to stay for a wedding that was just 7 minutes away. Location, size, and the large wooded area made it a great choice for us. Space for kids to run and play. Katie was quick to reply to all questions. The location is beautiful! It was our first time to Michigan, and this accommodation made it perfect!

Cousins reunion
This was the perfect spot in the Traverse City area for a family gathering. Superior outdoor areas for talking, fires, eating, etc. Numerous sleeping areas with bathrooms. Workout room and chapel. Kitchen a little on the small side, but more than adequate dining space. Quiet and scenic. Highly recommend. Home was well stocked and host was readily available.

Uncle Don’s Cabin was great!
Easy communication with owner. Very clear instructions re: check in. The home is beautiful and is even better than described on VRBO. Plenty of room for our crew of 14-17 people (depending on the day). We had ages ranging from 2 to 78 years old. The living room was a popular hang out location - the kitchen is centralized between dining spaces and living room, so communicating with family was super easy. The fire pit and adjacent gazebo were popular in the evenings. We used Bluetooth speakers to play owl calls at night (from YouTube) and could hear them respond - fun for all ages to experience. The cabin is remote but gas/groceries are easy 15-20 minute drive away at most. Nearby Brown Bridge boat launch would be an awesome spot for a kayak/canoe trip down the Boardman River (next time we will bring kayaks). There’s an impressive trail network around the boat launch - well marked and maintained trails of varying lengths. The boat launch is a 1.25 mile walk down the quiet road from the cabin. All NW Michigan attractions are within 45-50 minute drive of cabin - we did Sleeping Bear Dunes/Glen Arbor/Leelenau Peninsula/Old Mission Peninsula/Front Street in TC/Torch Lake/kayaking on Platte River/biking on Heritage Trail twice/TC beaches. Washer/Dryer were great. AC worked (but didn’t really need it due to cooler evenings - yay!). Saw several deer on property throughout the week. Wrap around porch was nice place to sit while the teens played catch. Buy firewood nearby

The house is very nice and was well-suited to our large group. The outdoor space is great too. The porch and gazebo both have lots of good seating, as does the fire pit area.

Michigan family vacation
The property is beautiful and perfect for large families or groups to stay together. The cabin is fully equipped with everything you need. Katie was wonderful! Gave us a lot of great recommendations for things to do, places to eat, etc. Very prompt in responding to any questions we had. You get the best of both with this cabin. Far enough out for privacy, but not too far from town. We will hopefully be using this rental again in the future.

Our overall experience was fabulous with this listing. The one thing that stuck out was how clean and comfortable the place was when we got there. Plenty of room for everyone. Equipped with everything you need. Just bring food and drinks. We walked the trails right from the house, sat by the fireplace and chatted for an intimate stay with our family of 18. Can’t wait to get back sometime.
