Cabin Located in the Manistee National Forest with all the Comforts of Home

Beautiful 3-bedroom cabin in the heart of the Manistee National Forest. Located just 12 miles west of Cadillac, Michigan and just steps away from Caberfae Peaks Resort. Unlimited things to do- Hiking on the thousands of acres in the National Forest. Canoeing, Kayaking or Rafting on the Pine and Manistee Rivers. Fishing at the Tippy Dam and the countless lakes or rivers in the surrounding area. Direct access to over 300 miles of groomed trails for snowmobiling or off road vehicles. Snow Ski at Caberfae Peaks or McKenzie Cross Country Ski trails. Multiple Golf course and Mountain bike trails nearby. Can't forget Lakes Mitchell and Cadillac down in West Cadillac. Fun for all ages.

Cozy cabin for northern ATV ride
I stayed at this cabin/home with 2 friends for 2 nights during a recent ATV ride in the area. We were able to unload our ATVs in the yard and drive to the trails. It was perfect for getting back and relaxing after a long day of riding. As its description says on the listing, it offered all the comforts of home. I will look to book here again next time I'm in the area.

Great weekend getaway
The cabin is very cozy, nicely appointed, and has a super comfortable and homey feel. We enjoyed family conversations on the deck and at the fire pit. Dory has done a superb job with decorations and furniture. It is the perfect place for a relaxing family getaway with plenty of outdoor activities nearby.

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!

Perfect cabin for our family snowboard trip
This cabin was decorated as if it was a very well cared for and lived in by the owners. Every room was clean well appointed with everything we would need. Plenty of blankets and pillows, and the small kitchen had everything we needed. Driveway was plowed and had plenty of room for cars. We will definitely be coming back as it was a perfect distance from Caberfae. Only problem was there was a hotub listed as an amenity but there was none. The owner was quick to respond that this was a mistake on VRBO's end and not theirs as there has never been a hotub on the property. Owner was also very accommodating with us in booking this property. Lesson learned to verify with owner if a certain amenity listed is actually on the property. The listing has since been fixed. Thanks for letting us stay at your perfect little getaway!!

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!

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.

Everything awesome
Everything was so great we all loved the quiet location. It was my husband and his brother and wife and our 27 year old son. We were there for a family reunion so we were away from the cabin alot. Everything was so welcoming. The baskets of goodys was special it was the first we've had that. It was fabulous. The host accommodated all our needs.

Excellence every step of the way!!
I cannot say enough about how amazing my experience has been working with Dory! She has been such a gracious host and so easy to talk to, not to mention the hospitality she provided for us. We came in for a wedding at Caberfae Peaks and this was the perfect place to stay. It was close enough to the resort, but a nice little get away as well, we just wished we could have stayed longer. This home is so cozy and welcoming, so much nicer in person. If the opportunity would ever arise again, we would definitely stay here again!!
