Very nice place

My adult son, son-in-law & I stayed here to try the utv trails nearby. It was a blast! House was just as described and we had no issues. The trails are pretty close and the one we rented from dropped the rides off for a small fee. Definitely would reccomend this as a base!

Ski Trip!

Convenient to Caberfae Peaks resort, staying here meant we could have plenty of space, a kitchen and table, etc. for the whole family instead of staying in a hotel. We were able to ski together, cook together, and spend a wonderful couple days together overall. Hopefully, we’ll be back next winter for more of the same! We definitely appreciated the plowed driveway, btw.; Cadillac area had a ton of snow on the ground when we visited.

Wonderful Ski Cabin

We had a fantastic stay at Dory's lovely Cabin while we skied at nearby Caberfae (10min walk!). Communication with Dory was excellent, check-in was very smooth, and the cabin was perfect! Clean, warm, well laid out and the beds were really comfy. Dory was flexible with us on our check-out time, which we really appreciated, and we had a fantastic stay. We will definitely be back and recommend this cabin to anyone!

Would stay here again

This was one of the most well-stocked places that I’ve ever stayed at. Appliances were older, but worked very well and everything was spotlessly clean. Box AC units in every bedroom kept the place nice and cool. Dory was very quick to respond to my questions. She was very accommodating when I asked for a later check-out due to running a half marathon that day. Overall, a very nice place to stay and will be staying here again in the future.

Cozy, welcoming home

We really enjoyed our stay at this cozy, welcoming home. We had a long drive and didn’t get to the house until very late, so we greatly appreciated the coffee and snacks that were available for us the next morning since we didn’t have time to go grocery shopping. We spent most of our time away from this house since the purpose of our trip was a family get together at a relative’s lake house which wasn’t big enough for all of us. But we did enjoy some things close to this house- the golf course and hiking trails. The house was well stocked with plates/mugs, towels, electrical strips at the bedside for charging devices, and even s’mores supplies. We would definitely recommend this house if you’re looking for a peaceful, comfortable place to stay.

Marvelous in Manistee National Forest

We came to Cadillac to visit my mom who didn't have sleeping space for 5 adults and 1 child. Planning and communicating with the host was easy. But it only got better from there. We arrived to find this beautiful cabin that has been nicely upgraded and is wonderfully decorated. The property has lots of little extras. The host has thought of everything and then some. Our family was actually sad that we had to spend most of our time away. We all slept comfortably on nice beds, and on our final night we enjoyed a camp fire in the nicely equipped area. We did not have one single complaint or concern. This quaint little cabin is a real GEM and the host is, too. We will definitely choose this property again if it's available when we come to the area.

Christmas Break Ski Trip

First and for most, the Nelsons are outstanding hosts! Dory has thought of everything, from making sure you are aware stores for food are not in the immediate area of the cabin but a few miles down the road and generously leaving snacks, water, coffee and even a pizza in the freezer if you get in late. The house is extremely clean, cozy with warm bedding, blankets, wood stove to use and the homey decor. Our boys loved it so much they asked if we could buy it! But, just do you know, it’s not for sale. 😊 Just a hop, skip and a jump away from Caberfae Peaks is a plus and if the snow was really good, we’d have brought our sleds to ride on the trails too that are right there. We love the neighborhood. Very quiet and quaint of similar chalet looking cabins. It’s nice when you can bring your fury friend too. They even have a dog crate for you to use. We definitely have put this cabin high on our list and will use again if it’s available. The price is very reasonable. Thanks for the awesome stay, Nelsons!

We rented this property to stay for the weekend of a family members wedding. There were six of us, three couples. We had plenty of space. It was outstanding! The wedding was held at Caberfae peaks and this location could not have been better. The owner Dory is fantastic to work with. She is very communicative and welcoming. The house was so clean and was completely stocked with anything you could ever possibly need. Dory has thought of everything!!! if you rent this property, you will not be disappointed!

Perfect chill Cabby getaway

We had such a delightful time at this cabin just a couple of minutes from the slopes at Caberfae for closing weekend. The cabin had everything we needed to cook and cozy up for the week. We were also only 30ish mins from crystal for the weekdays. The beds were super comfy and we had a wonderful time. Dory was super fair and a great communicator throughout our stay. We can’t wait to come back!
