Reviews

Awesome!!
The Cedar Cabin on the Bay was fully equipped as a home away from home. The location was private, and provided quiet relaxation. Loved the property location, as the beach was lovely! The cabin is a hidden jewel on the bay.

FVR RESPONSE:

Thank you for sharing such a lovely review, Kathie! We are so happy to know you found the home's private location on the beach to provide you with a nice sense of relaxation, and that the home itself was stocked well enough to actually provide a homey feeling! Hopefully we can host you again next time you're in the area!

We loved our cabin stay⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had the best time! The views are gorgeous. We had a beautiful campfire. The place had many items stocked that were not originally said to be there, such as beach towels and even charcoal. Air popcorn popper and waffle maker. So much room. Rustic, yet beautiful! Bathrooms were remodeled and gorgeous. The master bed was soooo comfy!! Lake Michigan is your backyard and private to you! We want to go back already!!

FVR RESPONSE:

Thank you for such a wonderful review to read Melissa and Jonathan! We are so thrilled to know that the home was able to surpass expectations in regards to amenities provided, but also regarding the home itself, and having the lake right there to yourself! We would be more than happy to have you back in the future!

Beautiful setting
We had a fantastic stay. Just as it was advertised. The water was beautiful from my chair I could see it all the time..I just wish that there was a window that opened in the wall of windows so you could hear the waves. We saw e@gels all kinds of birds and we even had deer just walk through the yard pass the wall of windows..the beach was fantastic and we had a fire in the morning drinking coffee. If was great. This is a great place to stay we would do it again. 


FVR RESPONSE:

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay, Terri! I completely understand wanted the chance to open the window to hear the waves, but love knowing you enjoyed your stay at the home, and appreciated the natural beauty the location offers! We would love to host you again in the future!

Wonderful vacation
We had an amazing weekend. The property is well maintained and clean. The surroundings were beautiful. The lake is the highlight. Perfect for a family with kids and pets. The water is just about 50ft from the house and is ankle deep upto 50 ft into the lake. We enjoyed splashing around and building sand castles. The management and house keeping were very helpful with everything. Will be coming back in summer to stay longer.

FVR RESPONSE:

Thank you for such a lovely review, Sabari! We are so delighted to know that your family found the home to be comfortable, clean and able to provide an enjoyable experience inside and playing in the water! We look forward to having a chance to host you again!

Amazing Stay even in the fall!
This was a last minute decision to go up north. We wanted a place to bring our dogs. One who absolutely loves water and one who loves the beach! The Cedar Cabin on the bay was super clean, pet friendly, has all the amenities you could ever need for a vacation. We did mostly just coffee and easy meals but we said next time we come we will do more cooking as the kitchen has all the appliances needed. The owners were super responsive when I had questions prior to arrival and even during our stay. I would highly recommend this place. However,that means it will be harder for me to book again if everyone else wants to stay here too. We met the neighbors who were also super friendly as our dog is quite social. We will be back next summer for sure. Thank you for a great weekend up north. K and S.

FVR RESPONSE
K & S, thanks for the recommendation.  We love hearing that you had such a great visit, and that your dogs were so pleased with Cedar Cabin on the Bay!  When our pups are happy, we're happy, right?  We look forward to your return in summer 2022!

Everything was as described! We had a lovely weekend. The driving directions referred to a red, white, and blue mailbox, this mailbox was very faded and the red was mostly covered up. If it is being used as a visual marker it should probably be more visible.

FVR RESPONSE
Amy, thank you for your feedback.  We really appreciate it.  We're glad that you had a lovely weekend and hope to see you back again.

Great Private
If you are looking for a private up north getaway this is your destination. Cozy cabin, private beach, fire pit, pet-friendly, and not too far from other Michigan upper peninsula destinations. Lots of animals to see. The beach is all sand up to 75 yards out from shore and shallow for little ones. Our family had a great week here watching the sun and moon rise over Lake Michigan every day/night. We will definitely return here next year.

THE VIEW
I still can not get over the view and how beautiful the sandy beach is along with shallow water which was perfect for my younger daughter and dogs to swim and play. This was exactly what my family needed and we wish we could have stayed longer!!

Amazing beach location
Amazing beach location with privacy. It is a rare and beautiful beach that provides the sand ridges under your feet! Level escalation made launching kayaks easy. Gradual depth of shoreline perfect for swimming and floating. Many beach chairs were provided to enjoy the outdoors. Home bathrooms are super cute and the master bath has an amazing shower! Beds were comfortable Great place for a get away. I’ll definitively book again.

Colleen, thanks for this great review!  Great beaches are the best!  We look forward to hosting you again

Hello, The property is beautiful and serene. We enjoyed the stay and it provided a much needed change of scenery and break from all the turmoil in the world right now. We enjoyed the visits to surrounding attractions (Dave's Falls in Wisconsin and Pictured Rocks). The bay is spectacular and our dog LOVED fetching a ball in it every chance she got! Thanks! Renee Upham

FVR RESPONSE
Renee, there is nothing better than playing fetch with your dog while on vacation!  Cedar Cabin on the Bay certainly is the perfect spot to do that.  Located right on beautiful Green Bay (Lake Michigan), it is a wonderful space which sleeps 6, has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and fully-equipped kitchen.  There is a firepit for late night storytelling.  We look forward to working with you again!

A wonderful cabin....
If you are looking for a northwoods cabin to get away, this is the place for you! Beautiful view of the bay, charm, remote feel, everything you could need is provided to allow you to just enjoy the U.P. The shower was AMAZING, the bedrooms were more than ample. The only blemish is a waste disposal under the sink that needs repair. There is a warning about it, and if you heed that warning you will be fine. We will use this cabin for future fishing trips, of that there is no doubt.

FVR RESPONSE
Dave, we are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay at Cedar Cabin on the Bay.  Nothing beats being on Lake Michigan.  The cabin sleeps 6 in 2 bedrooms, plus your dog is welcome to join you!  It has 16 feet of windows allowing you  gorgeous views of Lake Michigan!  It also has excellent swimming.  We look forward to your return!

Lovely Anniversary Trip
We thoroughly enjoyed our cabin experience ... a long weekend for our anniversary. The location and beach are beautiful ... looking out at the moon over the water. The bed is very comfortable and snug. We enjoyed fires in the evening and cooked delicious meals in the well stocked kitchen. Thank you for a lovely stay.

FVR response:
Heather, first off, happy anniversary!  We are so pleased that you spent it at Cedar Cabin on the Bay, and that you enjoyed your stay.  There is nothing better than being on Lake Michigan with the beaches and the views.   Cedar Cabin on the Bay  is a real log cabin that sleeps 6.  We hope to see you back again.

The cabin is amazing! You can see deer and turkey sometimes as you drive up to the cabin! The lake waves are so peaceful to listen to and to watch! It is in a quiet area, and you are away from people! You feel like you are all alone in the woods, and not right off of the highway. The internet is a little slow, but honestly it wasn't terrible! The only issue my new husband and I had was locating the cabin. Google Maps had us going to the middle of Highway M-35 even when we did a direct navigation to the address. That was our only issue, but we figured it out eventually. If you struggle finding it, we suggest putting a pin in the Google Maps app to easily find it later. But honestly, this was a fantastic location for our honeymoon! It is clean, quiet, peaceful, and super cozy! We loved every second of our honeymoon!

The property was absolutely beautiful! Waking up to the waves was breathtaking! The convenience of the 2 full bathrooms worked great with having 3 kids. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great getaway!

Freshwater Vacation Rentals Response
Kaitlin, thanks for taking the time to write this review and for your strong recommendation.  We agree, waking up to the sounds of waves just can't be beat, especially when those waves are on Lake Michigan.  We do hope to see you again.

Cedar Cabin on the Bay
The home is well equipped and looks just like on the pictures. There is no AC but the temperature was fairly comfortable in the house. It has a charcoal grill and fire pit right on the beach. The surroundings are beautiful. We loved the clear and shallow water and the private sandy beach. It's perfect for swimming, especially for kids. The only problem we encountered was the sandflies that were horrible to the point we had to stay home all day. Despite that issue, we still had a wonderful time. Thank you for hosting us and the welcome goody bag.


Freshwater Vacation Rentals Response
Sylwia, we  love that Cedar Cabin on the Bay worked out so well for you.  Staying right on Lake MIchigan is such a joy. Swimming, fishing, a fire pit plus being pet friendly makes this the perfect summer vacation spot.  Sorry about the sandflies - they can be pesty at times.  We hope to see you again.

Beautiful place!
I definitely recommend the property. I stayed there with my 2 teenage kids and a dog and it was a memorable experience. The house is located beautifully in the woods at a small beach on Michigan Lake. Lots of privacy and peace. The house is very clean and cosy, with beautiful new bathrooms. We would definitely come again!

FRESHWATER RESPONSE:
Monika, we are so please to hear that you and your family enjoyed Cedar Cabin on the Bay.  Located right on beautiful Green Bay (Lake Michigan), Cedar Cabin on the Bay, is a wonderful space to vacation.  Bring your pet and sit by the fire pit for late evening conversations.  This is a true log cabin.
