Summary: We had planned to find a place to just relax and read a book for a couple days, but were enticed to check out some local spots that ended up leading us to other sites we wanted to see. Our laid back mini vacation turned into a fun site seeing few days. October allowed us to see both the salmon/trout making their way upstream at the Little Manistee Weir and the fabulous color changes traveling up Lakeshore Road. Each roadside park we stopped at had a beautiful view. The cabin was spotless, cozy yet had a lot of space. Also, the water in the cabin tasted good. We are so used to hauling our bottled water to our vacation rentals due to odd tasting well water, this was a pleasant surprise. Beds were comfortable and it was so quiet and peaceful. Took our dog for walks down the road every morning and to local dog friendly beaches. All three of us had a surprisingly active and wonderful stay. Thank you for sharing the cabin with us!!

Summary: Kent and Pam have a wonderful cabin hidden in the woods. It is close to both Manistee and Luddington. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for cooking and the firepit was perfect for fall evenings. We had a great time playing with our dog in the pine forest behind the house. The lakefront area across the street was wonderful. Amazing sunset views and access to the beach. Kent was very attentive to our needs while still ensuring our privacy.
