Comfortable Getaway Near the Lake

My husband and I enjoyed our stay here for a long weekend. The bed is comfortable and overall it was a positive experience. Apparently I did not read the listing closely enough and I did NOT realize there is no WiFi available here, so that is just something to keep in mind. The location is great, we were walking distance from the L lakes and we had a great time.

Nephews wedding in Baldwin

Nice and convenient for daily activities and coming back just to relax without any distractions from neighbors we would encounter staying in hotels. Hancock house was nice and clean with essentials for cooking/sleeping/showering with a very spacious yard. Thank you.

Nice, clean and nice location

Property was very nice and clean. Only thing to be aware of is that there is one queen bed and then twin bunk beds. Listing gave the impression of two queen/double, but one is a fold out couch. Very nice place though!

Perfect Little Getaway Spot

It was a perfect place for our family to unplug and unwind. Check in was a breeze and everything was as advertised. We have AT&T cell phones and reception was limited. There is also no WiFi. We loved it! We played games and just hung out as a family.

Adorable Cottage

House was clean and comfortable. I would note that the bunk beds are twin beds, as we assumed they would be queen sized based on the description of how many the house would accommodate. I would say 3 adults or 2 adults with 2 children would work best. House was cozy and easy to find; set back from the highway for privacy and a beautiful property. Owners are so kind and easy to communicate with. We would stay again!

Perfect Baldwin Getaway

We've stayed here before and we were happy to return. Clean, comfortable, updated & modern yet keeps the cabin "feel". Well stocked. Nice large lot, privacy, room to enjoy the outdoors. Cellular data service in the area seemed minimal so remember to download whatever you may need. You are up North, so enjoy the great outdoors. Phone and text worked fine. Perfectly located to the canoe/kayak rental and grocery store. We like to kayak the Pere Marquette at least once a year and would definitely stay here again.

Very clean. Well stocked kitchen supplies, towels, and even coffee was available. Did not find any ice trays in the freezer but purchased ice at the local store which is very conveniently located.

Such an adorable place, be prepared for no wifi although when booking you will receive a message to contact the owner for WiFi there is none. Amenities were nice, plenty of sleeping rooms. Lots to do in the area.
