We were in town for my daughter's wedding, which was only a mile away on Wilbur Road and made it so convenient. The house has a perfect set up and even allowed dogs. Beautiful area to walk the dogs. House was clean and comfortable. Ryan was so accommodating, allowing us to check in early, which helped us greatly. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your home.

Great house on the lake

Recently renovated and very well done, this house has everything you need for an "up north" getaway. Plenty of great views and lake access, along with room for our off-road vehicles (3) in the massive driveway. I would recommend this property for anyone looking for a getaway in the Secord, Gladwin, Houghton areas.

Convenient location

I enjoyed a restful weekend during the fall at this house, which was likely much too large for just me. I made ample use of the kitchen. I enjoyed the parks on Lake Huron, some located just a block or two away.

Good time!!

We had a great weekend!!! Plenty of open room for all of us!! I will say though that when it says air conditioning it’s NOT central air like I assumed, it was a room air conditioner and it was soooo hot up there and with humidity noone slept good..not used to it being so hot and humid up there but it sure was!! That’s my only complaint other then that it was a nice place!!!

Disliked: Cleanliness
The home was not clean, and it smelled. The kitchen was not stocked properly and there were dirty pans and silverware in the cupboards. The king mattress needs to be replaced, inside windows were filthy. The living room furniture fabric was stained and worn and you sunk nearly to the floor when you sat on it. The front storm door needs to be fixed and there was a screen on a window was torn. The furnace broke and the host came immediately with electric heaters and it was promptly fixed the next morning. He was very attentive and friendly. Nice location and nice neighborhood.
