Relaxing and Perfect

This lakeside cabin is wonderful. So quiet, quaint and perfect in many ways. If you are looking for a relaxing time away, this is the place. Not to mention the beautiful views of Lake Huron while sitting in the enclosed porch watching the sunrise. 🌅

Cabin was cute, location was great. The code to get in was incorrect but luckily the husband was home to get us a key because Jennifer did not answer my text or call at that time. Prior to check in she was great to answer questions. The bed was horrible though. Felt like we were sleeping in a hole. Definitely needs a new mattress. Out side of house and windows could use a good cleaning but inside of cabin was very clean. Over all a good stay.

A lil rustic but cute!

Beautiful views and close to town! Sun porch is very nice but can get real warm. A little tough without the air conditioning but there are fans to help with that and the breeze from the lake. The bed is nice and comfy.

Cousin/Sister get away

My cousin and I came up for a get away. The cabin was perfect. Miss Huron was fierce and her waves were so soothing. We had a toasty fire all weekend and when we got low on wood, Q was right there restocking us. House was immaculate. We’d stay again for sure! Great location.
