A peaceful spot

What a gem Nick and Laura have here. Perfectly sized for a couple. So cozy and clean. I would sit at the table and watched the birds all day and have been happy. The wood stove was a welcome warmth after trails and hikes all day. The bed was extremely comfortable. If you are looking for peace and quiet. This is your place. Thank you Nick and Laura for sharing your perfect cabin with us.

Great Little Cabin

We spent the weekend at this great little cabin. Nick was very welcoming. We loved watching the birds at the feeder. The highlight was the Pileated Woodpecker. The wood burning stove makes the place so cozy and it was only a 7 minute drive to MaDeeters.

Wonderful little place to go to get away. Very clean! Cook wear is provided, just don’t forget your spices and butter. Amish stores are close by along with scenic areas. The wood stove was a plus to our romantic weekend away.

Beautiful Cabin!

We were so thrilled with our stay. The cabin is clean and rustic. It gave us everything we were looking for and more. Each morning Irene feeds the birds and they are so fun to watch all day . The hosts were very informative and helpful with all aspects of our stay! We were recommended by a friend and it lived up to the hype. We look forward to staying again.

Quiet and Restful Stay

The cabin is exactly as described and easily earns a five star rating. This was the first time my wife and I stayed in a place where we brought our own sheets and towels, but we kind of liked it. We also brought our own pillows which made sleeping more like home. The cabin is less than 100 feet from the road but rarely does a vehicle pass by.

Cozy and Peaceful

Well equipped kitchen. Nice ambiance. Good location --near the Au Sable River region for hikes. Responsive host. The oft-filled bird feeder attracted a fascinating array of birds. The weather was rainy during our stay. But the cozy cabin was perfect for reading and sipping hot chocolate. We enjoyed our stay.

Cabin in the woods

We enjoyed our three night stay at a cozy cabin in Luzerne. Two outdoor fire pits for gathering one was log the other gas. Great private outdoor area with deck also to enjoy the forest area and bird feeders. The living room couch and chair were futons and allowed extra sleeping areas besides the queen bed. Kitchen had nice gas stove and everything needed to enjoy your stay.

Blissfully Peaceful

My husband found this property and made all the arrangements to give me some much-needed & much-appreciated "alone" time. Couldn't have fit the bill better! The cottage had the right "feel" for me in its wooded setting, and the area itself has plenty of kayaking and hiking options. Would love to take my husband back with me sometime!
