Beautiful cabin

Beautiful, and very clean cabin. Sarounded by peaceful forest. If you looking for a place away from every day busy life this is the place to go. Our family had great relaxing time. No one want it to leave. Awesome secluded cabin for a family, friends or a couple that want some time for them self. It was easy to communicate with the owner, and he is very helpful with anything you may need. I would definietly go back!

Perfect quiet getaway

We stayed at the cabin for one night at the end of a trip - it would have been great to stay a few more days. Quiet and beautiful - our dog loved chasing butterflies and moths around the woods...and got her first introduction to why she shouldn't eat a toad. We sat around the fire pit and the girls enjoyed the hammock. Made use of some cards and games for an enjoyable evening. We didn't have cell service (which he warned ahead of time) but the wifi signal was strong. The road to the cabin is dirt but our subaru had no issues.

Beautiful and Comfy Cabin in the woods

Our family of 5 adults, 2 large dogs and 2 cats had a fantastic time using Kiefer's house as our home base. The beds are comfortable, the bathroom is adequate (although the shower is tiny), and the kitchen is huge and well equipped with all the pots/pans, griddle, coffee makers etc you could possibly need. The location is very remote and it is important to follow Kiefer's written directions because most GPS apps will not find his house. Note that his directions assume you're coming from the town of Irons, so if you're coming from the west, you'll need to look carefully for the road signs. We spent 3 days kayaking (one on Tippy Dam Pond and 2 on the Pine River), had lots of lovely hikes on the North Country Trail leaving right from the house, spend a day in Manistee on the Beach and a day in Ludington, and a morning picking blueberries. There is no need to bring outdoor chairs as there are plenty around the fire ring.

Great Getaway

We had such a great stay at the North Country Cabin! The secluded location was so relaxing, and the numerous hiking trails were so much fun. The house itself was very nice and fairly clean. The kitchen is large and has pretty much all necessary amenities. The listing is accurate in saying you will need a FWD vehicle to get to the cabin. It rained during our stay and even in our truck it was a little sketchy getting out. The cell service is also non-existent, but the wifi worked just fine (besides during the storm). The only thing was that the wifi password was written down incorrectly in the house. Thankfully Kiefer was quick to get back to us with the correct wifi password. If I could make a suggestion- it would be nice if there was some kind of written packet of sorts that listed out details of the house (like the wifi password, etc) and also the cleaning responsibilities required before checkout (with the storm knocking the wifi out we wernt able to access the VRBO message detailing the checkout requirements until only 25 minutes beforehand). All in all, it was an amazing stay and we can’t wait to come back again in the future!

A+ Stay

My husband and I stayed in this cabin for our honeymoon in November and had an absolute blast. There was an accident during check-in, but we were absolutely thrilled with the way host cleared things up and accommodated us. The cabin was clean, cozy, and ready for our stay - twinkly lights on outside and all. The property connects to the North Country Trail, which was perfect for little morning and night hiking trips. Even our dog loved it - we will be back!!

Great family get away

Perfect spot to unplug for a long weekend. My family and I had a great time at the cabin playing in the woods and hiking along the North Country Trail. The cabin kitchen was well stocked and there was an assortment of games to play as well. We could see the neighbors house from the cabin which was unexpected, but nobody was around the weekend we visited so it was blissfully quiet! The kids and dog would crash out on the floor in front of the fire exhausted each night.

4th of July Getaway!

We have crazy schedules and were able to book the North Country Cabin in relatively short notice. It is as advertised and more! Communication with the host was quick. The kitchen had everything we needed! Including a Ninja blender! The cabin is secluded and was very quiet at night. We had our dog and was a perfect place to let him run around and explore. The road was a trip! Our van handled it just fine. If you book in the winter, i would advise a 4x4 vehicle. Great place and would stay again!

Cozy cabin

The North Country Cabin was cozy and comfortable. Beds were ok although the bunk bed mattresses need to be replaced. It had all needed amenities and a stocked kitchen for cooking. It’s located in the middle of the forest and very secluded. It’s a great place to get away from civilization, be with nature, and unwind. The forest is beautiful! The air is fresh and it is extremely peaceful! Keifer was quick to respond to questions and concerns. We had no cell service at the cabin or anywhere near it. We weren’t able to get the wifi password until the next morning so we were unable to let our family know we arrived safely until the next day. We also received our checkout instructions in an email 2 hours after we left for home. It would be extremely helpful to have a welcome letter that provided the wifi password as well any instructions for the cabin. We got to the cabin after dark -which I do not recommend! It is a rural area and some of the roads are not the best. Avoid Hoague Rd! It was pretty terrible! I want to stress that you should plan to arrive in daylight hours! The drive to the cabin (especially the last stretch of road to the cabin) is charming during the daylight hours but very creepy in the dark. Overall, it was a nice stay.
