East Twin Delight

The cottage was just as described. Perfect for the wife and I. The hosts were fantastic. Jim even helped launch and pickup the boat at the marina. There was a small snafu with the guest dock, which Jim and Marilyn quickly remedied in order for my wife and I to continue to enjoy our vacation.The nights were cool and the heat worked great. A couple of the days were hot and AC worked great. The area is quiet. East Twin is a large boat prop friendly lake. All sand. The cottage is a mile from town, which allows quick visits to town.

Great Get Away

The Holiday House was the perfect place for a lake side get away for our family. The owners and their family were amazing and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. It was fun to be able to walk out of the cabin to the beach in front and the water was just a few more steps away Lewiston is a great small town with great places to eat and Gaylord wasn’t far away for extra things to do. We will definitely go back!

Classic lake cottage

We enjoyed a wonderful, relaxing week at Holiday House. The hosts Marilyn and Jim could not have been nicer, they welcomed us and made us feel right at home. The cottage was immaculate with everything you could want. The towels were fluffy and the sheets were crisp. Our cottage was steps from the lake and we enjoyed magnificent sunsets. It is apparent that Marilyn and Jim really care about their guests comfort and enjoyment. We would definitely stay at Holiday House again.

Adorable cottage and gorgeous lake views

This little cottage is just like out of a dream. Clean, well stocked, awesome location and great owners. We loved being only steps away from east Twin Lake , and only a few minute drive from Lewiston where we enjoyed getting ice cream and doing some local shopping. The owners had lots of beach toys for our kids which they loved.

Our Stay at the Holiday House

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The cottage is very quiet and relaxing – just steps away from the beach. The hosts take a great deal of pride in the property and it certainly shows! It was immaculate inside and out. It was very comfortably outfitted and had plenty kitchen items, as well as a gas grill, that made it easy to prep & enjoy meals. The added bonus, and the nicest surprise, of our stay was the hosts – we truly felt at home! Highly recommend staying here!!!

2nd Time Guests

This was our 2nd stay and it was just as lovely as our first! House is nice and clean. Hosts are available and accommodating. Location is amazing! This house is on the beach and rolling up the windows in the morning feels like you are actually in the water. Nice little beach for swimming. Beautiful sunsets, we will be back next time we come. Thank you so much

Hidden Gem

My husband and I rented this cabin for a week. I sure wish I would of rented longer. Its quaint and sits right at the sandy beach. We loved to sit on the rockers on our porch at night and sip drinks looking at the beautiful sunset. Coffee in the morning with a nice breeze off the water. There is a private dock to bring a boat. Huge bonfire area. Great for all ages. We brought our side by side and they had plenty of trails to ride in the area. The cabin has everything a person would need and it very cute and clean. I have to say Jim and Marilyn are the absolute best host we have ever met.They made our trip memorable for sure. We were welcomed in and they treated us like family/friends. We are truely grateful to have met them. A definite perk. We will be back again for sure.

The best lakefront rental cottage experience EVER!!

The hubs and I have been renting two different lakefront properties in Michigan a year for the last 7 years. The "Holiday House" was, by far, the cutest and most up to date. It is clear from the moment of your arrival that the owners take your happiness and comfort seriously. Jim and Ian helped the hubs launch the boat and allow you to park the boat at their dock. The windows allow a full view of beautiful East Twin Lake, just steps from the large, sandy beach. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you need including dish towels and dish cloths. Living room furniture is comfortable and relatively new. The sofa pulls out to an air mattress, queen bed, as does the love seat (a single bed). ALL linens are provided (sheets, pillows, comforter) as are large, plush bath, hand towels and wash cloths. This is a one bedroom cottage with a full size bed. The bedroom is not huge but we slept comfortably and well every night. The bathroom is smaller but has a wonderful shower with nice, hot water...and, don't forget the nice, plush towels provided! The weather cooperated for our boating, which made our stay at "The Holiday House" one of the most enjoyable, vacations EVER! Everything stated in the VRBO ad and the pics show you exactly what you can expect.. Again, the owners take pride in this home and your comfort and happiness is their top priority. Hopefully, once we get organized in our next year's rental vacations, we will be able to book again. The hubs said, at least once a day, "I love this place." I guess that says it all. Thank you Marilyn, Jim, Ian and Pam for a great week.

Perfect getaway to beautiful water in a charming cottage

My husband, 5-year-old and 2-month-old enjoyed our stay at the charming Holiday House on East Twin Lake. The cottage was well appointed and had everything you would need for a one week stay. The owners were so friendly and checked-in to make sure we had everything we needed. The water was crystal clear. So rare to find an inland lake front place with a sandy beach for kids to play. We will definitely put this place on our list to return to!

Starry Nights and Gorgeous Sunsets

This property is a quaint cabin right on the lake. It still has that cabin feel, but the look inside is more refined with furnishings, carpet, heat, and A/C, but it is still a small cabin. The beach is steps away, and it is a great area to watch the sunsets or look up at the beautiful stars. Other than that, it was far too cold for us to utilize the beach. This is not a luxury hotel, and if you are looking for luxury, then you are in the wrong place. It is a cabin in a small town, in the middle of the woods, with birds, and critters, bugs, and a lake. The cabin was clean, and they provided disinfecting wipes, and hand sanitizer. In no way, did we ever feel unsafe or worried about Covid in the house. Due to unforeseen issues, we arrived at the cabin far later than planned. We did not want to appear rude and wake up the neighbors (which I am sure we did), but the owners were very gracious and understanding. The sky was fabulous that night and we were grateful for the peace and tranquility it offered. They have a total of three cabins, with this one right on the lake. The entrance to the lane is difficult to find in the dark, so I suggest you try to get there sometime before dark. Look for the sign that says Holiday House, and the orange ribbons. The parking is across from the fire pit and was more than adequate for our large SUV and boat. One of the owners stayed in his cabin throughout our stay, but I do not believe this is a usual occurrence. He was kind and a gracious host. If we needed anything, he was more than happy to help. We tied our boat up to their pier and enjoyed several days of fishing and relaxation on the lake. Is this cabin perfect? No, but we didn’t rent this place for its perfection, we rented it for the view, the lake, the sunsets, stars, and the peace. If you are looking to work from home in this cabin, I would suggest bringing your own WiFi. They have internet and TV, but it sometimes glitches and that was okay. There is not cable, but they provide enough options on the smart TV to be comfortable. The bathroom is small, but it had everything we needed. The bedroom is tiny with a full bed, but who’s going to spend all their time in the bedroom? The bed was way too firm for me, but I just layered blankets on top. We really enjoyed our stay, and we would like to thank Marilyn, Roe, and Jim for opening their home to us and allowing us to use their pier. We had a great time!! This was a little oasis!!
