Great Stay in Onaway

The cabin was beautiful. Clarke the Peacocke was entering and made multiple visits a day to see us. The location was perfect for what we wanted to do which was to sightsee in the area.

The Onaway on your way to Onaway

The cozy cabin was perfect for a nice get away. Beautiful front and back porch to view the sunrise or the snow fall in in winter. The natural light for the variety of windows was refreshing. Its a must see to appreciate kind of Cabin.

This is our second stay at the cabin and it was just as great as the first. It is clean, stocked with everything you could have possibly forgotten or need, and the bed is the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in. Maj-Lis is always an incredible host, and we look forward to returning!

Great Getaway!

What a beautiful place to stay while we explored a part of Michigan we weren't familiar with. Beautiful country setting. Very clean with thoughtful amenities. It is located on a busy road, but traffic noise wasn't an issue during the night. We'd highly recommend!

Lovely Cabin in Meadow

We were sooooo happy with the cabin. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The furnishings were beautiful, the outdoor area was perfect for mornings with coffee. The peacock was an absolute bonus! All in all, very nice property.

Quiet getaway

Wonderful setting within range of all of the northern Michigan sites and trails. Travel to Mackinac City to see the Fort or go onto the Island, or see the many State Parks for hiking and shoreline town shopping. Close to the only Waterfalls in the lower peninsula, and also located close to Onaway park with metal art works by a local that will turn your head. Wonderful viewing of area wildlife and I recommend the stay.

One of the Best Stsys

The property was delightful all around. The cabin is great & the temperature controls worked well. It was quiet and the only ‘visitors’ were the 3 strolling Peacocks out for their evening wander. One of the best stats I’ve had.

Beautiful Weekend Getaway

My husband and I chose to stay here for our annual northern Michigan winter getaway weekend. The house was beautiful and was probably the cleanest home we have rented so far, which says a lot! The bed is kind of a memory foam - I loved it and he hated it, so it's just a personal preference. We explored Awakon Park, which has some neat sculptures scattered along some trails. Had a great dinner at Wood Winds Restaurant then enjoyed drinks and karaoke at Al's Onaway Bar. We had a great time relaxing for the weekend. I would go back in a heartbeat!

Everything we needed and flowers!

The cabin is lovely and had everything we needed. We cooked two nights and the kitchen was stocked with appropriate cookware. The flowers outside were lovely even though it is near the end of the season. The furniture was quite comfortable. Our favorite activity was sitting on the back porch. We enjoyed watching the peacocks and all the other birds and butterflies that came for the flowers. There was a huge thunderstorm while we were there and we both love the sound of rain on the roof. The downstairs bed was comfortable. We did not use the loft room. Our dog also enjoyed being there particularly laying on the back porch. The only disappointment was the road noise which surprised us but can't be helped. We would definitely stay here again.

This was our second stay at the cabin and everything was just as clean and comfortable as before! It’s just a beautiful little cabin- perfect for a relaxing getaway that is a short drive to many state parks and the lake. We love reading on the giant back porch and star gazing over a campfire. The host is so kind and generous with all the little extras to make your stay feel like home. She even had new, wrapped tooth brushes available in case you forget yours like I always do! And i also love that she supports local small businesses with the products and art she features in the cabin.

Our stay was a relaxing and a cozy stay. We loved the house and the property. Very clean and lots of open space. The house was fully stocked with everything that would be needed. The house has a wheelchair ramp and the lower was fully accessible, with a walk in shower which was a big plus for our daughter with Cerebral Palsy. We will definitely be returning for visits.
