About this property

Grand Traverse County Cabin in the Woods

  • Enjoy this cozy cabin in the woods. Nestled in the red pines just minutes from Traverse City. Appreciate all that the seasons have to offer with family and friends. Relax by the outdoor fire pit or enjoy the beautiful lakes nearby. The Northern Michigan night sky offers an amazing view of the Milky Way and even an occasional display of the Northern Lights. Unplug and enjoy the woodlands and when you want to reconnect with the outside world there is wireless internet and a 60" tv, or take time for a game of shuffleboard. Freestanding fireplace gives a relaxing glow while watching the beautiful sunsets. One mile to ORV, snowmobile and equestrian trails. Close to the TART biking and hiking trails, 18 hole disk golf course, lakes, casinos, wineries and shopping. Pets are welcome for a small additional fee.

We had our girls trip and the place was absolutely beautiful, exactly what we was looking for. The host was very accommodating and was blowing off the seats by the fire pit for us when we arrived. He was a very courteous host and they had a lot of extra amenities available.

Our stay was absolutely fantastic, we had a great time with our four year old and it was a peaceful jumping off spot for all of our up north adventures. We would definitely stay again and share the listing with friends looking for a low key up north adventure.

This was a beautifully decorated home. Cozy and comfortable with all the relaxing additions. Bed were great! Great for large groups with additional entertainment available outside. Fire pit, horse shoe , and beautiful trails to wonder. This location was quiet, and just a 15-20 minutes from TC for further entertainment. We will come again.
