The home is beautiful. We played a lot of games, went swimming at the lake that’s close, did some fishing, and sat by the fire for family time!

Excellent Stay

We had seven family members on our vacation getaway and we had the best time. The cottage was so nice and it had everything we needed for our stay. Fishing on the lake was fine and there are definitely a lot of fish out there, some of them quite large. Another bonus was that they allow dogs and we were able to bring them with us. We are already planning another trip, maybe in the winter this time. Thank you Meri and Rachel!!!!

Amazing property and location. Has everything you need for a fun and comfortable stay. We were 2 families total of 9 with kids ranging from 10-17 and they had a great time. The manager is super helpful and responsive. They had a cute gift basket with needed items upon arrival. And all the water items you would need. The towns hear by are so cute and if you plan to fish get the night crawlers from Mug and Jug and you will catch a ton of fish! Thanks for such an amazing time.

Wonderful stay!We had a group of 4 adults 5 kids 1 dog, and the recently renovated space accommodated us comfortably. Fully stocked kitchen supplies, games, extra cozy blankets, pet necessities, bonfire stuff, and a thoughtful extra cabinet full of “just in case” items. We loved the large outdoor deck and lake access. We spent time kayaking, swimming (floating dock in the middle of the small lake). Spent a day out in Alpena (45 minute drive) at the Starlite beach and Austin Brother’s brewery (also 5stars). The hosts are phenomenal, super kind, quick to respond to any questions, and available nearby on-site. Excellent hospitality. Would recommend to groups or families looking for outdoor adventures and indoor comfort.

Beautiful and Clean!

First of all Meri and her family are very nice and I had great communication with them. We had a welcome basket when we arrived. The house is updated, clean and is currently getting more updates. Very private, neighbors are far apart. The fishing off the dock was great! We had a great time relaxing fishing puzzles and games they supply everything all you need is food. If i had any suggestions window air units in bedrooms or fans for downstairs bedrooms. Summers can be very hot. We will be back!
