This cozy cabin was just what we were looking for. The host, Mike, was really lovely and we had everything we needed. The kitchen is fully stocked, and it would be a great place for kids to bike around a bit (we didn't bring bikes but we should have!). The dirt roads are very quiet. It's about an hour to Petoskey or Charlevoix, a great starting point for hiking and visiting Lake Michigan. Our kids (7&9) absolutely loved the loft - they felt like they had their own fort in the cabin, and they engaged in a lot of imaginary play.
We had no problem getting into the area in our Mazda3 (front-wheel drive). I'd recommend accessing the area via Boardman River Road and Wildwood rather than Shippy (the way Google kept telling us to go) since it's a better dirt road.
The front porch was a relaxing place for coffee and reading, and there were hardly any mosquitoes (at least this year).
All in all, a great stay, and I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for a north woods getaway.
