A rustic, permalog style cabin that is suited to accommodate up to nine. This is a cabin to help disconnect from the hustle and bustle of our chaotic lives. There is limited cell signal, no internet and no local or cable channels. The cabin is pet friendly, as I believe our pets are an extension of our families and should get to vacation with everyone rather than boarded (dogs only are allowed). Primary source of heat is a propane wall furnace. There is an electric fireplace in the living room. In the summer there is a window AC unit at the cabin and a fan for the loft (it does get hot up there). The cabin is very close (1/4 mile) to the AuSable River where you can easily launch boats, canoes and more. The ORV trail head is just a 1/4 mile down the road. This is also the perfect cabin for hunting, fishing, hiking and trail riding. Be sure to keep an eye out for an eagle or two. Also had deer tracks in the yard.

We love this place. The cabins right on your own little piece of beach is perfect. Our kids love spending a day just throwing rocks into the lake and swimming. It's close to Mackinaw City and the bridge for a day trip to the UP. This is our second year coming

4 nights at LTBB Rental Cabins

Had the best time reconnecting with friends here and plan to come back next summer. The cabins were clean and the grass on the property was luscious and great for pitching our tent. Kind of close to neighbors but still private enough to not bother each other. We liked that it was close enough to a small trading post that had all the supplies and drinks we needed.

5 Stars – Perfect Remote Getaway, Especially for Dog Lovers! I had a fantastic stay at this cabin over the 4th of July weekend! I traveled with my three large dogs, and it couldn’t have been a better fit. The cabin is extremely dog-friendly, with a great setup that made us feel welcome and comfortable from the moment we arrived. The porch was a definite highlight—perfectly set up for relaxing and taking in the peaceful, natural surroundings. Even during a busy holiday weekend, it was so quiet and secluded that we didn’t hear any other campers nearby. It truly felt like our own private retreat. The owner, Tim, was incredibly friendly and helpful. He was quick to respond to any questions and made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. As noted in the listing, the bathroom is a portable toilet with an outdoor sink, which worked just fine for our needs, especially considering how remote and rustic the cabin is. If you’re looking for a quiet, remote escape where your dogs are not only welcome but truly accommodated, this is the place. I’m already looking forward to coming back!

The cabin is nice, just the right size! The porch is a nice touch which allows you to hangout & cook your food. The field you over look on the porch is really nice! We had our 3 big dogs with us (2 being 100+ pound bully’s & the other being about 60 pounds doodle) we had stakes with leads on them and it was the perfect area for us to have them. The cabin was big enough for all of us to fit comfortably! He keeps little trash bags to pick up after your pups if you forget bags. I would definitely recommend staying here! Tim is very nice & makes sure you have everything you may need. He was very helpful with any questions we had, and has recommendations if you are looking for something specific to do. The bed was very comfortable, we were worried as we have stayed in some air bnbs with some of the worst beds but his is so comfortable we were able to get right to sleep! The bathroom is a portable toilet with an outdoor sink, if anyone was curious. We had a great time & totally recommend, especially for those with dogs who need somewhere for them to be able to have some room!

Nice lake view for watching freighters and the bridge. Rocky beach not the best for swimming. Provided two types of firepits and wood. Cabins were dated but very nice.

Weekend Trip to pineleaf.

My husband and our two kiddos (4 & 7) stayed for two nights in the cabin. It was so relaxing and felt like we were deep in the woods. Timothy was amazing from the start. I had asked if we could possibly check in early and he was okay with that. We ended up having car trouble on the way to the cabin and didn't check in until dinner time. He was so great about the whole thing and had even turned the heater on in the cabin before we arrived because it was a cool night. The cabin and bathroom were both clean. Timothy was lovely to chat with and was available by phone or in person at any time. He gave us a complimentary bundle of fire wood, a goodie bag, and three gallons of water. Pineleaf and Timothy are both wonderful and we plan to stay again in the future. A tranquil, quiet place to stay and a very accommodating host!

We enjoyed 3 nights over Memorial Day weekend, simple cabin set up - appreciated the bathroom and small kitchen area… (normally tent camp) Queen and twin bed in each cabin as well. The beach was wonderful for rock hunting, we saw a bald eagle swoop down while eating breakfast out there too! Close to the bridge - great starting point for a UP and/or Mackinac Island day trip!

I’m writing this review while sitting on the deck shortly after sunrise. Tim, the host is absolutely awesome! He greeted us at a meeting spot to lead us to the cabin, it is very secluded and hidden away in the woods. Once we got to the cabin I was more than pleasantly surprised to discover the cabin not only has a nice little fireplace heater for the chilly Michigan nights but there’s also a small refrigerator that helped a lot! Tim gave us a goody bag at check in that had yummy happy treats! He also provides the first night of wood for free, only $5 a bundle after that. We enjoyed our stay so much we decided to extend it a night. We will absolutely be back!

Weekend Trip to O Me, O Mio

Such a cozy cabin! Nearby Mio is a very cute town and there’s lots of cool places for easy hikes, bird , scenic overlooks, and enjoying the river nearby. This place is perfect for a “modern technology” detox weekend; the cell service extender works just good enough that I feel like emergency alerts would come through, but other than that no modern technology.
