Tiny House with Spring Wildflowers!
Coziest little cabin!
The tiny house was perfect! It was just right for a weekend get away. The bed was comfortable, and the tiny home had everything we needed for a great weekend. The host was so accommodating and super easy to reach, I highly recommend this spot for a cozy weekend retreat!

Ten out of ten!
Everything was perfect. My husband and I stayed the weekend on this tiny house for my 37th birthday. The house was lovely and we had everything we needed. There’s a little packet in the house with info on local things to do, trails, restaurants, etc. We went on a hike, went downtown for shops and food, and were beyond blessed to see a STUNNING sunset — all based off the suggestions in the packet from the owners! 10/10 all around. Thank you! Can’t wait to come back for my birthday next year! We plan to make it an annual tradition.

Tiny House with Spring Wildflowers!
Tiny Home Weekend Retreat
This was a lovely spot to get away from everyone. While driving past the neighbor’s trailer was a bit unsightly, we did not encounter any issues with anyone. The location was close enough to towns to grab a bite to eat and bum around town, it was also far enough away for privacy. The tiny home itself was very quaint from the moment we saw it. Once inside, the propane heat had already been lit to take the chill off on this pre-winter fall weekend. The loft bed mattress was super comfortable and there was more room up there than we expected. The ladder is right next to the wall, which made getting up and down a little tricky in the middle of the night with the propane heater right below and boy does that get hot. Would have loved a couch of some sort to sit on vs the table and chairs, but everything was still fantastic. We were also able to make a fire each night and enjoy some cool evenings fireside. The hosts were very attentive and answered all questions very quickly.

Tiny House with Spring Wildflowers!
Cosy tiny house in quiet woods
I spent a wonderful birthday weekend at Lisa’s tiny house and I wish I could have stayed another week! The tiny house was spotlessly clean, perfectly ordered, and beautifully functional. The kitchen has everything you need for one or two people, the loft bed is sooo cosy and comfy, and the living space is furnished with plenty of seating and lovely books and games for those who didn’t bring any. The little propane heater on the wall kept me quite comfortable in the cool evenings and mornings. I didn’t use the fire pit outside because it was a bit chilly when I was there but I did eye it enviously and I’m sure the view of the night sky at nice is amazing. The little bathroom in the back of the tiny house has a toilet and walk-in-shower and is perfect for a quick rinse off. I brought my dog and she slept comfortably on her bed under the table. Lisa’s directions were spot on, making the house very easy to find and to figure out where to park. The drive is not long, so if you are worried about making the little hill on the way out, it’s not far to walk your things to the tiny house. The tiny house is so conveniently located to so much great hiking and small northern Michigan towns, never more than 15 minutes to anything interesting. We enjoyed the nearby trails, the views of the lake, and the local breweries. I can’t speak highly enough of the space that Lisa has created and maintained. It feels so wonderfully peaceful and has everything you need for a relaxing and fun stay.

So zen
The space is so wonderful! I felt so relaxed while I was there. The house is so much nicer than I was expecting for a tiny house - super comfortable and I especially loved the indoor toilet and outdoor shower :) Thanks to Lisa for a great experience.
