Cabin vacation rentals in Manistee National Forest

We love staying here! It is so private, peaceful, cozy, and perfect for what we look for in a little vacation. Joannah is a great, responsive host. The bottle of wine was a nice touch. She leaves tons of local recommendations for you to discover. The hot tub on the river is exactly what we needed and look forward to! We’ve been back a few times and will hopefully return.

What a great place to stay for a weekend getaway with friends! Very roomy, hot tub was great, kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Everything in the place was very high quality!!

This is our second time staying at Nina's cabin. It's so clean, comfortable, and has everything you may need for a relaxing getaway. Do not pass on Nina's cabin or you will be missing out.

Very great place to stay, extremely cozy and warm feeling. We loved the hot tub and the fact they had a grill and a nice kitchen for cooking. Only a short drive from Ludington and Manistee as well. 10/10 would recommend.

This was the perfect place for our weekend getaway. The house is in a quiet area with easy parking and views and an easy walk to the bay. Check-in was simple, with Kate providing great instructions for the keypad to let ourselves in. The house was cozy with all amenities as described, and we felt right at home. All the Traverse City attractions were easy to get to, and Kate provided great recommendations. We had an awesome time and would definitely stay here again.

Jeff’s place was exactly what we hoped for, my fiancé and I had a wonderful and peaceful stay. We would love to come back again =)

Awesome stay at the Thompsonville Lodge! JT was a great host. Everything was in good order! Got a detailed guide in advance from JT with great local suggestions like Rosie’s Country Cafe. That’s another 5 star recommendation! A must go for an amazing breakfast! The whole place, including the Hot Tub, was immaculate! Kids loved the bunk bed in the loft area, and the arcade game that had a a ton of different playable titles. Great place all around, and would definitely stay again!

The home, property, setting, views, amenities and responsiveness from our host at Agape Vacation Rentals ( Jean) was amazing! Easy drives to the lakes and Leelanau Peninsula. Great spot and great host. Lost power in the middle of our stay but, made the best of it and enjoyed quiet time around the fireplace.

The log cabin was fabulous. It was perfectly appointed and, even though not quite warm enough outside just yet, Bar Lake made all stress subside.

Everything thing was just as it is described. Matt answered all our questions. very helpful. cozy and welcoming

This was our second stay at Russ’ and Jade’s. If you’re looking for a peaceful and quiet place in nature..this is it! The cabin is very inviting and clean, and the view of the river is beautiful. We appreciated the immediate response from the hosts when needed. It’s a great place.

Cabin was perfect. Clean & comfortable. Great location. Road orv trails. Really enjoyed the fire pit. Cabin is close to the road, but don’t be concerned about that. We only saw a handful of vehicles pass all weekend. No neighbors within sight. Kids enjoyed running and playing in the yard. I would highly recommend

We enjoyed our stay! The dogs loved the fenced in back yard and it was in a perfect location to go hiking.

This was a great place to go to reset and relax. The water was a serene experience and left us feeling awww’d Going to town wasn’t far to get needed supplies We look forward to visiting again!

This was my first time renting an Airbnb and I was hesitant given the reputation. Christina's cabin was beyond 5 stars. Quiet, remote, peaceful, and beautiful. There were instructions for any questions you could think of. Christina has thought of everything. Even if something was forgotten, Christina had extra. I will be back for another fall vacation at this cabin in the future.

Beautiful cabin! Lots of hiking around the area that was great for our dogs. Everything is under a 10 minute drive which was awesome. We got lucky with amazing weather during our stay so we were able utilize the outdoor furniture and space! The cabin itself was super tidy and clean and loved the look of it all. The hosts left us a nice bottle of wine and delicious cookies! Overall, a great weekend getaway!

We had a great stay! It was peak fall foliage and 70 degrees. The cottage was perfect, nestled right on 3 private acres which made it the perfect child free weekend getaway. We enjoyed the sauna, the fire pit and the sounds of nature. Robin was very responsive and helpful! If you're looking for rest and relaxation I would recommend The Acorn!

The cabin is beautiful and very clean. It is well away from the nearest neighbouring cabins and the driveway is about 300 yards long into the forest so completely secluded and very peaceful. We had a few visits from the wild turkeys in the evening just before dusk which was lovely. We did have one evening where we were visited by lots of mosquitoes but being in the middle of the forest it was to be expected. We bought some oil and a burner and problem solved! The gas bbq was an added bonus. A lovely stay, thank you.

We had a great time staying here for our ATV trip! Location was great! Host was great at responding to any question I had.

Krista's Cabin #5 (and the whole place in general) is really nice! It's a beautiful property that is perfect to getaway. The cabins are perfectly in-between the right amount of outdoors and cabin in the woods feeling while still being a bit nicer. It's the perfect mix as many cabins we found were too renovated and too modern. We wanted to feel like we were in a cabin and that's exactly what we felt like! The grounds are cool and entertaining, the lake front is nice, the lodge is always neat to have a "community center" like that. It was the perfect cozy getaway that we wanted for our weekend. It was so comfortable and relaxing. If you live anywhere around people, get out here to this property and take a break!

Great cabin with plenty of room and amenities! I look forward to coming back and staying again.

This cabin was just as described . It was very secluded and peaceful. Lots of wildlife and beautiful views. The cabin was cozy and had all the amenities we may have needed to use per the host. Excellent get away spot and close to Cadillac if you need to get out and about. Our host was very quick to respond whenever we had a question . Would definitely recommend this cozy cabin getaway and I would love to stay again sometime.

We had a wonderful stay. The cabin was extremely clean, and super cute. The property is charming! Having no Internet was tough with 3 kids! But it forced us to be in the moment and actually talk to one another. On our first night there as we were unpacking the car, a porcupine walked into the yard. The kids were so excited to see one in person. They are still talking about it. I would absolutely stay here again.

Wonderful place to stay. The check in process was very easy for my first time staying at an Airbnb. The bedrooms, kitchen, living and linens were clean. I would definitely stay here again when I visit this area again.
