The Tree Hugger site was perfect for our trip! Todd was a phenomenal host and gave us very clear instructions. The cabin was very cozy and comfortable. The property was gorgeous and so quiet. It was the perfect place to get away for a little while. We’ll definitely be back!

6 nights at Little River Tiny Cabin - Manistee
I loved staying Steph and Mark’s Tiny Cabin! It was clean, well appointed (as far as was expected for a place with no electricity) and above all, private. I was able to disconnect and relax, enjoy the sound of the babbling little river, and catch up on reading and sleep with zero distractions. Thanks for hosting me!
