Unplug from the day-to-day and head to this Michigan vacation rental—the great outdoors are calling! This 2-bed, 1-bath cabin rests on over 400 acres of forestland with hiking and biking trails, as well as direct access to 100s of miles of snowmobiling and ATV trails spanning from Leetsville to Kalkaska.

Summary: If you're looking for a fun way to spend a weekend or a vacation in pleasant solitude, this is the place! The cabin is woodsy & very cute and welcoming. Plenty of space for a family and pets, and very cozy. There are lots of beautiful wooded trails on the property, including a small pond, in which I've seen frogs and the occasional duck. There is also a lovely boardwalk in the making on the far end of one of the trails. Overall, I had a blast with my friends and family out there. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a woodsy vacation for a great price, and I will definitely be visiting again sometime soon!!!
