Nature lovers paradise w/direct access to lake, trails & ample trailer parking.

House is beautifully 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with 3 separate living areas and additional sleeping in basement. House is 1750 square feet so there's plenty of space to spread out. Interior is completely finished with knotty pine. Located on beautiful Avery Lake in Atlanta Michigan adjacent to hundreds of acres of state forest. A natures lover paradise.

Family room features a 50 inch TV with satellite TV and some board games. Living room features a fully functional wood burning fireplace, 50 inch TV with satellite, 2 recliners and couch. Walk out basement has game room (air hockey, table shuffleboard, ping pong, table for games/cards), couch, mini-fridge and 2 twin beds.

Sleeps 8: Linens provided. Loft bedroom has king bed, two main floor bedrooms each have queen bed, two twin beds in the basement.

House has two main floor bathrooms (one with tub/shower combination and the other with stand up shower).

Property features: Horseshoe pit, throwing block (for axes or knives - must bring your own), campfire pit (hot dog forks and campfire pie cookers on site), gas grill, canoe, 5 kayaks, 2 paddle boards and boat dock.

Avery Lake is 350 Acre All-Sport Lake with quiet hours from 7 pm to 10 am. Quiet hours are for fishing and observing nature. This lake has a mostly natural shoreline and beautifully clean water. Two-thirds of lake is surrounded by state forest land. Excellent fishing for Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass, Sucker, Sunfish, Walleye, and Yellow Perch.

Canoe, kayak and life jackets are available. Please use at your own risk. Bring your own boat, jet-skis, etc. Boat launch 1/2 mile down the road at Avery Lake State Campground and park at our dock. Rental boats are available from Twin Lakes Marina in Lewiston and able to be delivered to Avery Lake for your use.

Avery Lake offers excellent swimming opportunities for families of all ages. There's a nice beach at the state campground 1/2 mile from the house.

ATV/Snowmobile riders paradise. There's miles and miles of trails throughout the state land. Many of the trails are groomed.

Excellent home base for day trips. Only one hour to Cross in the Woods Shrine in Indian River, 90 minutes to Mackinac City. Take the kids on a ferry ride to Mackinac Island or across the Mackinac Bridge to the UP of Michigan.

Our best mancation ever

The furniture was comfortable, the rooms were large, the kitchen was well stocked with pans, silverware, and spices. Theres box fans in every bedroom, the air conditioning kept the house cool on the hottest days of the year. We played corn hole, fished, ping pong, watched some baseball and golfed every day. We are looking to come back next year.

Family Fun!!!

The property was very nice..clean..well equipped with bath products & kitchen “stuff”!! Kids had fun fishing the channel..lots of fish for them & turtles all over!

Truly a nature lover’s paradise

The house was lovely - clean, inviting, & well appointed especially in the kitchen. Plenty of outside space - perfect porch, fire pit, & small dock. Garage access was nice with dogs as a staging and clean up spot before entering the house. Nice walking/hiking options both around the small neighborhood and the vast trail system that is steps from the door which allows endless outdoor exploration. Good location for day trips - ~30 mins to Gaylord & under 1 hr to Mackinaw City/Island & Alpena. Lastly, but critical, the primary bed was comfortable. There was even a massive dog bed that our pups took full advantage of. All in all, the space felt like home.

Family Getaway

My wife and I vacationed this year with our youngest son who is home from college, our Daughter and her husband, and our 2 year old Granddaughter , we wanted a chance to get away with them before she has our 2nd Grandchild this August so the timing was perfect. We had an awesome time, we fished from the canoe as well as from the dock, went to some antique stores , were able to go to a very nice local beach that Michelle recommended to us as well. We did have on and off rain for most of the week so we were not able to have a fire outside but still had a wonderful time. We finished off with a movie and popcorn night the night before we left. Thank you again Michelle, we couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay! Finch / Bishop families.

Always amazing!

Well we had an amazing time once again at this incredible property. Everything from my house, to the amenities, to the lake and nature is absolutely perfect. We did some fishing…the girls caught a big Bass and a big Blue Gill….there was two families of Geese the girls named one Debra and Chuck but don’t remember the all the other names. Lol. We had a bonfire every nigh with s’mores, had a comfy, cozy bed to sleep in,…then coffee on the deck overlooking the water in the morning. So relaxing. Great night’s rest, and a great way to start the day! We didn’t want to leave. No need to bring extras…everything you’ll need is there. The game room in the basement was perfect for the kids…they’re own little nook. Lots of games too. We did some cooking and didn’t have to bring a thing…it was all there. Michelle is an amazing host who makes everything as smooth as possible, and will get with you in a heartbeat if you have a question or need help with something. This property is surrounded by state land so there’s lots of things to do outside and also not far from Lewiston or Atlanta either direction if you need to run into town. Overall, this was our second stay, and it felt like home when we walked in. We will be going back next year!

Had our annual family vacation with grandparents, 15 year old son, 11 year old daughter, hubby and myself. Had plenty of room for all of us and could have accommodated another couple. The house has everything you could want or need. The kitchen has been updated since the last pics and has a coffee pot with the K cups option which was super nice. The property is well stocked with dry wood for bonfires too! We enjoyed the games, ping pong, shuffleboard and darts downstairs. The true gem is the lake!! It is AMAZING!! The channel was quiet and great for kayaking. We loved the lake. It’s clean and has clear water. It doesn’t stink or feel icky like some of the inland lakes. We didn’t rent a pontoon and instead brought a fishing boat with us. We saw several big fish!! We plan to come back again next year and definitely will be renting a pontoon boat! Highly recommend this property!!!

Very quiet

Place was well cleaned and did have everything you could ask for. However, the yard was not mowed and the water pressure was terrible. The lake was not what I was expecting. You cannot get in the water by the cottage. You need to go out to the lake. We did enjoy our stay, just a few nit picking items

If you want to go to a relaxing, quiet and CLEAN place for a vacation this is it. We (my husband, daughter, son in law and our 2 grandsons 11&14) had the most fun. We were never board and the beautiful spacioue cabin had everything and I mean everything any of us needed and more. We pick a differnt cabin every year and we all agreed this was our favorite. Thank you to our host as well for their communication. Trust me, you're family will have a FABULOUS time!!

I have stayed in many VRBOs over the years and this home is the nicest appointed I have ever stayed at. It had all the little things that most VRBO renters don't think of or don't bother with that make a big difference in comfort and convenience. Great for families for a nice up north stay.

Relaxing

We had a wonderful stay! The well stocked home was perfectly clean and ready. The fish weren’t biting but the whole family had a fun time out on the lake. Campfires each night for s’mores or pie irons. We aren’t familiar with horses so we didn’t know the near by equestrian campground was going to be upset with our bike ride when we were off exploring! Oops! Won’t make that mistake again. Owners were great with communicating what we needed. Great place to stay!

Great Getaway Location

Had a wonderful time. Cabin is beautiful and was wonderfully decorated for Christmas. We were hoping to do more winter outdoors activities, but the weather did not cooperate. We did, however enjoy our time together playing games as a family and watching some Christmas movies. The cabin is definitely off the beaten path, but we loved the secluded little neighborhood. The cabin had wifi, but cell service in the area is very limited.
