Uncle Dave's Cabin was a great place to stay. We were in town for a softball tournament and it was close to the fields in Pinconning and the house offered us everything we needed. The beds were comfortable (they seemed like pretty new mattresses), everything you could possibly need was provided, including good highspeed internet. It's such a nice house and we will definitely stay here again if we are in the area for anything. Earl was quick with the responses too and we were able to bring out dogs and the house/yard was very dog friendly.

One thing we really liked about the place was the ability to park a boat there as we were there to go fish the Saginaw bay. It had a place to clean fish/game and a man cave - couldn't really ask for more given our goals.
