Return visitors
This was our 3rd time time staying at the chalet and it was wonderful as usual. We really focused on biking this trip and had a great time hitting mountain bike and gravel trails all within a short drive (less than 20 min) or ride out from the driveway. Well appointed kitchen and cozy, thoughtfully curated interior. 4 restaurants are within a very short drive or bike ride (beware the road has a giant hill to pedal up to return if you choose to bike!): Legs Inn, Petoskey Brewing, Moosejaw Junction, and Crows Nest.

Woodsy wonderland
This cabin was the perfect retreat - set in the woods with a nice clearing to let the sun into the back yard area. The kitchen was clean and well equipped with all the pots and pans and utensils anyone would need to enjoy cooking a great meal. I missed having a microwave (but not too much). The fire pit was great and there was plenty of wood supplied. To put it in a nutshell, this place was heaven! So close to Wilderness State Park, and the bridge. We had the most wonderful time! We would definitely come back in the future.

Best Quiet Vacation Spot
The A-frame is a little hidden gem - it feels like you're in a storybook setting when you pull up the dirt road and see it nestled back in the woods. I think this is our 4th stay and we still love everything about it. It's clean, comfortable and just the best place to relax. It was a bit cooler this trip so we had a few more fires inside but we were still able to go swimming at Sturgeon Bay Beach, fly kites and climb a sand dune. Not much else to do in the area except get ice cream at the gas station and have a night playing pinball at Legs Inn - which is plenty for us. We hope to come back many more times in the future.
