Loved the location and space this cabin provided! We used the cabin as home base and ventured to downtown Boyne, Traverse City, Petoskey and Mackinac Island for day trips. It was great for two families and the basement bunks were fun for kids. Deer Lake Beach and the fire pit at main lodge was a fun thing to do in the evening!
For the price, especially in off season, the cabin does need some updating/attention: The tile floors in the kitchen and both upstairs and main floor baths are all cracked and creek line nails on a chalkboard when you walk on them. The dishwasher isn’t secured with brackets and literally moves side to side whenever you open and close it, and the spinner came off during a washing and melted. There were ants in the kitchen and we found a dead mouse in a trap. Thankfully the manager took care of both. Obviously a cabin in the woods is prone to critters, but it was still gross nonetheless. Landscaping out in front needs trimming, the bush by the door hangs into the walkway. The hot tub is missing the head pillows, yet the metal screws hang out and get hot/easily scape you if you move against them the wrong way.
Overall a nice experience, but likely wouldn’t rent this exact cabin again.
