Nice, clean, and private cottage. Only sad part was we never were able to try the restaurant because they never plowed/opened it. Not a good spot for on-site dining during the winter. Waterfront was also snowed-in and not plowed so we never got a good look at that either.

Nice enough setup for a summer getaway, not too far from alpena. Shower water made the whole room smell like rotten eggs which was somewhere between weird and concerning

We stayed in a cabin close to the road and we were a bit worried about the noise as both my husband and me are light sleepers. But we were surprised to have slept soundly that night. The bed was comfortable, sheets and towels clean, but the water has a bit of smell being a deep well sourced. They have a restaurant that served great food and ton of options. We loved our breakfast and wouldn't mind staying there again if we ever make a trip in the area.

Decor was good, bright colors, kitschy. Unfortunately the bathroom was not in good shape, backed up drain and mild. I sent the owner a note and he stated they are in the process of remodeling all the bathrooms. He also gave me a refund due to the poor condition, so good on him. Beautiful grounds right on the lake.
