The Red Cabin Retreat was a 1st Class wxperience and exceeded our expectations on every count. The property was inviting, spotless and had everything we could want to ensure we were both entertained and able to relax. I highly recommend this particular property for anyone looking to truly escape the crowds and noise of the hotel chains.

This place grew on us during our stay and we hated to leave on the day of our departure. The inside was well equipped for being able to cook and prepare meals. The outdoor furniture was dusty and we cleaned it off before using it. The inside was very tidy and the bed was super comfortable! I would definitely consider staying here again!

Another pleasant stay!

This is our second time staying at the cabin and it was just as nice as the last. The cabin has everything you need and communication with the owner is always great. Neighborhood is nice and quiet so after a long day in downtown Ludington, it’s nice to come back to the peace and quiet.

Perfect Couples Retreat

The Little Red Cabin was a perfect destination for our romantic weekend getaway. Elly’s attention to detail was superb; everything was thought of. We had a great time making breakfast together in the kitchen, relaxing bye the fire, and flopping around the lovely little cozy cabin. We would 100% stay here again. Thanks for the memories!

The cabin that has it all

We absolutely loved the red cabin in the woods. Has everything you could want. The weather didn't cooperate for us to enjoy outside however it was really nice to be able to just relax. The bed is very comfortable and soft. Highly recommend!
