Wonderful property!

We stayed three nights at this charming lake cabin and it was just great! Literally on the water, the patio off the back door was a great place to hang out and relax. The owners really thought of everything and made it super easy. Wal-Mart and grocery within minutes of the cabin. My wife and I love golf and there are several within 30 minutes which we played, and they were amazing too! Overall 10/10, highly recommend! It’s exactly as pictured and described, and we will definitely plan to return.

Fabulous views- great place to stay

Loved our time here- we came in the middle of winter and the hosts had extra blankets in every room. There is everything you need here and the views can’t be beat. We’d love to come back!

Right on the water!

This is a cozy cabin, right on the lake. It was perfect for what we needed. Easy communications with the Host, she was very nice and accommodating. It was a great visit to Michigan and this cabin was a perfect "home base".

Beautiful Cottage

We had an amazing time at the cottage, it was very clean and well taken care of. We appreciated the small touches such as snacks, coffee and a bag of ice that was in the freezer. The decorations were beautiful and made the place feel very cozy. Bedding and mattresses very comfortable as well. We would definitely stay there again. Thank You

August nights

Lovely little place that couldn't be closer to the water! It was very clean and nicely equipped. The outdoor patio was great and we enjoyed the kayaks that were provided. Nicely decorated, too. Bedrooms and bathroom are small and we were a little tight with 5 adults, but all in all it was very nice.

A wonderful cottage

This charming cottage was perfect for myself and 2 friends. The weather eas rainy but cleared for beautiful sunsets. We even saw Northern lights. If the temperatures were warmer we would of kayaked. We had fun playing games, doing puzzles and takjng a day trip to Alpena. I would rent this cottage again when the weather is warmer to kayak and play in the lake.
