The perfect getaway

The cabin was perfect and the property is absolutely beautiful. We had such a relaxing visit—it was the perfect getaway. It was incredibly convenient to hop in the Can-Am and head straight to the Little Manistee. Our hosts were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We will definitely be booking this property again!

Overall great time

My husband and I came up for our first time and really enjoyed our stay. The town was nice, the trails were amazing only complaint is the living room and one bedroom of the house were cold. We couldn’t seem to get them warm enough to use them. Need an electric fireplace or something to keep it warm and cozy.
