Definitely a place to get away from it all with a peaceful stream out back and 2 balconies to have your morning coffee and listen to nature before your day starts.
This was our second stay at Cabin on the creek and we enjoyed our time here. Very clean and love that it has 3 full baths one on each level. Great place to gather the family and enjoy holiday time!
We enjoyed another great weekend with family. Can't believe how clean you keep it. It was our second time and will be looking forward to going there again next year.
Definitely will be returning to this cabin by the creek. Very close to a lot of golf courses. Very clean, easy check in process. Minutes away from Traverse City
The cabin was beautifully decorated, cozy and very clean. The property was also very beautiful, and I loved the relaxing sound of the creek. Close to hiking trails, Fishtown, Traverse City, Moomers Ice Cream and Old Mission Point State Park and Lighthouse.
We’ve been taking our kids and spouses (8 of us) up north for a number of years and this place was great. Can’t say enough about how clean it was. Plenty of space, comfortable beds, and all the amenities we needed. We’re going to try a get a date to stay again next year.
Very peaceful, beautiful setting. We all enjoyed it very much. Close to many of the areas most beautiful spots. Clean comfortable house. Very nice host
We enjoyed our stay in the cabin. It is secluded back in the woods. There is WiFi and Dish TV. Plenty of bedrooms for my family to spread out and 3 full bathrooms. We enjoyed the porch and stream outside.
Great property! It was very clean and just as described. It was centrally located to our favorite sites on the west side of Leelanau. Ed was easy to work with as well.
Cabin on the Creek exceeded expectations. It was clean, cozy, comfortable and cheery! Kitchen and bathrooms were well-stocked with all the supplies and utensils we needed. Added bonus was a working (gas) fireplace that was welcome on the cold days. We enjoyed the view of the woods and creek; and the seclusion.
The property was beautiful and well maintained. The kitchen was the most complete of any place I have rented. I could not have asked for more. We had 8 people stay here very comfortably. The fire pit area was perfect and the creek running near the house added an incredibly relaxing vibe any time that you sat on the porches.
Very clean & spacious “cabin by the creek”. This was our 4th year and it’s still stunning and very well maintained. The owner built this cabin and it’s perfection at its best! Very tastefully decorated with a “theme” in each room. We always look forward to our return visit! Thank you for allowing us to stay at your lovely cabin!
Everything you need/want in a vacation home! We love staying at the cabin on the creek and will definitely be back again. The home has everything you need, is in a beautiful, secluded setting, and close access to some of the best Lake Michigan beaches. Added plus that it is dog friendly in every way! Our only tip is to bring a mattress topper if you aren’t a fan of hard (like rock hard) mattresses haha. Other than that—10/10!
We were there at a perfect time at peak color and with beautiful weather. The location is very private and right by a beautiful creek. We spent lots of time on the porches enjoying the view and the water sounds. Inside was great with bathroom on each of the 3 floors and bedroom or two on each. This was really nice for us to be able to spread out as we wanted. House is well-equipped and very clean. We plan to come back!
Cabin is adorable. Very clean. However, the water smelled strongly of sulfer and was brown when we ran the faucets initially. I’ve had properties with wells before and never experienced this. We would love to come back when the weather is better!
