Pine Shed stay
Cure "shed" tucked in the pines. Very clean, wonderfully stocked and tastefully decorated. Cozy but has all the comforts of home. Kate was friendly and caring! Recommended for couples , not necessarily families due to size. Clise to Bear Lake for groceries, gas restaurants. Mot far from Manistee and Traverse City for tons of activities

Great Property
The “Shed” was an ideal place for the three of us to stay. It was in a perfect location for us to go to Crystal Mountain for skiing and out to a quick pizza dinner at Rosie’s Place. Great communication with the owners. It’s little touches like having fresh towels each day that made it a fun place to stay. Everything was very nice. The shower is a little tight but manageable.

Perfect getaway!
This is our second time staying at The Shed! We were in town for the Ironman 70.3 in Frankfort and it was the perfect location. Close to the race but away from the crowds. It’s very clean, comfortable and the perfect place to relax and enjoy a camp fire. Kate and Ray are wonderful hosts and really do think of everything to make your stay comfortable and care free. Highly recommend!

Great time at the shed
This was the perfect spot for our mid week getaway! Gorgeous property, the shed is perfect for a couple or a few friends to stay in. We also would recommend checking out ‘Rosie’s country cafe’ for a really good (no frills) diner breakfast in the area. We went a couple of times during our stay! Overall would definitely recommend

beautiful cabin in pine forest
The Shed is amazing. It is small but well thought out and decorated. It was a great spot to have a quick bite, nap or goodnight sleep. It is close to everything. We enjoyed Sleeping Bear, Empire, Frankfort and Manistee. Ray and Kate are great hosts. The property is beautiful. The pictures do not do it justice. I’ll miss the campfires and having coffee on the porch. I can’t wait to go back:)
