Photos and Description of the Honor vacation cabin rental
Cabin, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 6-8)

Located on 16 acres of woods with a creek, this new log home has a campfire area for evening good times and s'mores, close proximity to Lake Michigan and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The cabin has a lovely back porch, loft, living area, well-furnished bedrooms, laundry area, modern kitchen, televisions, internet and wi-fi.

About Phil Lavender

Phil and Ginny Lavender are the property owners. We are both retired and would love to share our new vacation home with you. Our primary home is in Lake Orion, MI. although we both were born and raised in western Michigan.

Phil Lavender purchased this cabin in 2012
Why Phil Lavender chose Honor

Phil's mother and grandparents grew up in the area and Benzie County has always been a second home. The family cabin, built in the late '30's is located just a few hundred yards away. Building our own log cabin has always been a goal for Phil and his sister who also built a cabin nearby.

What makes this cabin unique

Special attractions to our place are the birds and other wildlife, the closeness of Lake Michigan and the Sleeping Bear Dunes, Little Platte Lake and the Platte River. We especially enjoy our back porch overlooking a quiet stream and woods. We also really enjoy evening campfires and back-yard barbecues.

It couldn't have been more delightful. We'd wake in the morning to the sounds of birds chirping and go to bed at night after having s'mores by the campfire. What a way to spend a get-away. The stars by campfire are unbelievable! Sitting at the kitchen table you see a myriad of birds, rabbits, deer, and other species pass you by. It was great getting back to nature. The creek that runs through the back of the property is delightful.

The cabin is breathtakingly beautiful. It is new and clean and bright. Everything was as it was pictured and was totally as we expected. If not better. The beds were very comfortable. The place was even prettier than the pictures indicated. The owner was very helpful in assisting with recommendations, and assisting with questions we had.

We had planned this trip to mostly get away, but we found plenty to do. Since it was chilly (April) we didn't utilize the lake that is only about a block away, but did go hiking and traveled to see Sleeping Bear National Park. It was amazing. Also, with Traverse City only about 25 minutes away it was nice to go up and go shopping and paint the town red. We also went to restaurants and shopped in Honor and Beulah as well. Lots to do and see. I understand there are a lot of festivals in the spring and summer months.

We stayed with our children in our cabin, but also met up with some friends, so it was nice to also have a cabin across the street for them to rent. How incredibly convenient! This was another nice advantage for a large group.

I would recommend this beautiful cabin to anyone who enjoys getting away from the noise of busy life and wants to enjoy nature. You will really enjoy yourself in this restful, lovely cabin.

Our stay at the Log Cabin in Honor Michigan was very enjoyable. The beds where comfortable with nice linen. The bathrooms where very roomy. The kitchen was well stocked and overall the place was very clean. I would recommend it to whoever is looking for an "up north" getaway.
