The hosts are friendly, communicative and genuinely concerned about their renters. This pet-friendly rental is stocked with everything you might need for your stay. The beds could be a little more comfortable though.

Enjoyed the rustic cabin with modern conveniences like WiFi and two bathrooms. Directions provided by host to get there were helpful and check in was easy. Loved the extra touches such as leaving a bag of ice in the freezer and providing wood for the fire pit. Just a quick drive to get to the public beach access on Long Lake. If you want to experience wildlife "up north" this is the place to stay - the deer behind the cabin were fun to watch at all hours.

My son and daughter and I had a great time staying in this very cute rustic cabin. We loved all the modern conveniences -there’s a tv with Roku in all the bedrooms. We enjoyed the public beach which is about a one minute drive away. We had a fire in the fire pit. The air conditioning works well and cools the house. The furniture is all comfortable. And the cabin is very clean. We hope to return. Thank you for sharing your cabin!

We very much enjoyed our stay, from coffee and breakfast on the cozy porch to watching the deer in the back as we prepared for a campfire! It’s close to the beaches in Oscoda, and East Tawas, Round and Sand Lake , areas we enjoy and Island Lake where we once enjoyed a family cottage! The cottage was clean and inviting! Extra special that our two dogs could stay also!
