Cabin vacation rentals in Hardy Dam Pond

We loved the property of this cabin. It was beautiful and well maintained. The river was one of my favorite spots to read or have my morning coffee. There were many perks and amenities to this place that weren't listed online, like hammocks, campfire pokers, blow-dryer, yard games, fire pit, folding chairs, plastic storage containers, etc. And I loved all the buffalo plaid decor all around. The signs and decor were really nice too, So much to look at. My family had plenty of room inside the cabin to sleep and have their own space. There was also lots of outdoor seating and space outside on the property to come together for dinner or games. Nina was very responsive and gave clear instructions for entering and leaving the property. She was polite and made our stay pleasant. We would stay at this property again.

We really enjoyed staying here for a five year anniversary getaway and relaxation. Our pup got her zoomies out and even explored by the River! We would definitely book again! Both Frank and Kaylee were responsive if we had any questions and great hosts!

It was just the quiet stay we were looking for. The kids enjoyed the hot tub, Cornhole, and fire pit.

A great house!

We had a wonderful getaway at Maggie’s place. We loved everything from the decor to the stocked kitchen and the gorgeous yard. You can tell that Maggie pays close attention to details- anticipating everything that guests may need. The hot tub on the screened-in porch was absolutely perfect. Everyone in our group slept great in the comfy beds. Plenty of linens, sound machines, ceiling fans, and heat and AC. We lucked out with perfect weather so we were able to sleep with the windows open and wake up to the sound of birds which added to a perfect relaxing weekend with old friends. We were even able to enjoy some yoga in the well-kept backyard. We are already talking about when we all get away again so we can come back!

A wonderful place!! Beautiful and peaceful! We had 8 people and it fit everyone comfortably! Plenty of space for kiddos to run around and play. Perfect for a weekend getaway, highly recommend!

This was an amazing home to stay at with great amenities and lots of room for big families! Great host, very responsive and answered any questions I had during my stay.

This place has EVERYTHING you could want from an Airbnb! A large deck overlooking a beautiful, serene setting, fun amenities like onsite hiking and a hot tub under party lights, ambient fireplace, wood burning stove, binoculars to enjoy all the wildlife, a hidden reading book, and a functional, beautiful, well-stocked, clean place to cook and sleep. What a great experience! Mark was helpful and easy to communicate with and had great local recommendations. Also a great place to travel with a baby. The house was friendly and peaceful for our 1 YO - no hazards aside from the staircase on the deck, for which you might want to bring your own gate if you have a crawler. We were thrilled with Mark’s place and will definitely be back!

This is our second stay at this cabin. We love how peaceful it is and that it is surrounded by woods. My family loves being able to enjoy the woods while staying there and a convenient drive to Manistee for our annual fishing trip. The house is always clean and if we ever have an issue Tara is quick to respond. Tara's cabins are our family go to stay.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Yellow Door Lodge! The place is beautifully designed — cozy, stylish, and thoughtfully put together in every corner. It felt like a perfect home away from home. Rex was incredibly responsive and went out of his way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. His warm hospitality truly made a difference and added to the overall experience. Our dog, Puntu, had a great time too — it’s such a pet-friendly spot! He enjoyed exploring and relaxing just as much as we did. The lakeside area was a highlight. We spent some peaceful time there soaking in the view, and it added to the whole relaxing vibe of the trip. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful, well-designed getaway with great hosts!

So happy with our stay! So many trout to see in the river, and even though there's a neighbor nearby, it felt so secluded. Amenities were great, and Jordan was very quick to respond to any questions we had. Highly recommend!

The Gabriel Cabin was such a pleasant stay for us. we brought our dog Elvis for one of his first camping/outdoor experiences. we enjoyed walking the Her-See trail in particular but we did also walk the Heron Path as well. we found the mosquitos in full swing so we did enjoy more solitude indoors. The cabin itself was tidy and had cute added touches for decor that created an experience of its own such as the lighting and fun remote control lamps. I especially liked coloring a mushroom page and we also found a rock to add to the stove collection. we cooked all meals at the cabin and found amenities to be plenty. We walked the larger Labyrinth and was able to see other cabins around the property as we passed them. the creek is absolutely beautiful!! The outhouse was clean and adorable. we have been all over Michigan but never in that particular area so while the property itself was nice we did have to drive a ways to get to other hiking trails. we would return for certain.

Seth was very welcoming and responsive with any questions. also offered great recommendations. I would definitely go back. Thanks Seth

Nothing really to say. I would only suggest a boot brush outside. We take our shoes off, but hiking shoes etc, get full of mud and dirt. Everything is provided... inside and out! We will be back for sure! Love this little cabin!

From the moment we arrived, we knew we’d stumbled on something special. This place isn’t just an Airbnb—it’s a memory factory. Tucked in a peaceful setting, it offered the perfect balance of comfort, charm, and thoughtful touches that made our stay unforgettable. The space was spotless and beautifully designed, with cozy furnishings, quality linens, and little details that showed real care—everything from the welcome snacks to the clear check-in instructions. The beds were incredibly comfortable, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the outdoor space (deck/firepit/view/etc.) was a dream. But what truly sets this Airbnb apart is the host. Communication was friendly, prompt, and genuinely warm. You can tell they care not just about the space, but about your experience. We felt like valued guests, not just customers. We’re already talking about when we can come back. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful getaway, a home base for exploring, or just a place to recharge, this is it.

Had a wonderfully relaxing and peaceful stay at the Fox Den with my fiancé and our dog ❤️. The weather took a bit of a turn but we still made the most of our stay: fishing, walking around nearby trails, cooking on the campfire, reading on the front porch with the birds chirping in the background. When it did start raining, the electric skillet more than met our cooking needs. Overall, we spent the weekend rejuvenating and soaking in the peaceful and natural beauty around us, and the Fox den was perfect for this!

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!

A perfect place to get away from everything. It was hard to choose whether to sit on the deck, down by the water or the fireplace! Walking into the river to fish right from the backyard was a huge bonus. Cathy was quick to respond to all questions and recommendations. Can’t wait to stay here again.

We loved everything. Awesome view of the river. A true northwoods gem of a lodge

We had a great time during our short visit to the cabin. There was coffee & oatmeal available, and the firepit was stocked with a bundle of wood for us. (There's a small pile of bramble close by to pick through as well). Internet worked great despite the remote location of the cabin. We visited to travel into Ludington, but actually spent most of our time & money in Custer & Scottville (great close towns with markets, meat shops, & cute gifts). Warning for any plus sized guests: the toilet is placed directly next to the wall. If you've got a big booty like mine, you will not be comfortable using it. Great amenities, quiet location, easy to find, and exceptional, friendly hosts. We will definitely be back if we're in the area again!

Perfect weekend getaway! Very private. Our family of 4 and our GSD had a great time.

This place is AMAZING. Looks exactly like the pictures, perfect little hideaway with a perfect view from the back balcony/porch. Amanda was super responsive and helpful, including answering a Friday night text about the alarm system when we had a question. The place feels so serene, private and peaceful but literally minutes from the main downtown area right down the road. We will definitely be staying again.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) I had a fantastic stay at Dawn Marie’s place! The property was exactly as described, very clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Check-in was smooth, and communication with the host was easy and quick. The space had everything I needed, including plenty of smart TVs and Wi-Fi, kitchen essentials, and a very comfortable beds. plenty of games provided I especially appreciated the coffee provide it was a great touch and made our mornings even better. The view of the water was perfect and truly added to the relaxing atmosphere. On top of that, the place is a smart home, which was really awesome to have it was super convenient and made everything feel modern and easy to use. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Harrison. Thank you, for a awesome experience

A quiet, peaceful weekend after the Memorial Day rush. I was able to go Mountain biking, kayaking, and enjoy the area with my dog. Also, it was just a nice place to stay inside and relax. Close to a lot of things, but far enough away to feel secluded.
