Peaceful week
The house was great! Perfect size for us and we loved being able to see the boats pass by on the river from the couch. We appreciated the nice set of dishes...especially the perfect coffee cups! Our dog really enjoyed the fenced in yard and the ability to run in to cool off whenever he wanted. Such a relaxing week! Dorene and John were an incredible pleasure to work with. Very accommodating and helpful, I wish all property managers had this approach.

Winter Wonderland
The house was very clean and the check in process was easy. The owners of the house even reached out to us that we could check in early because of a winter storm getting ready to hit the area so we were able to get on the road earlier in the day. That right there should tell you alot about who you are renting the house from. I give the house 5 stars and will be returning in the near future! O and the view from the deck is amazing looking over the Indian River where we saw numerous bald eagles cruising the river looking for a meal. Great place overall.

Wonderful getaway
Beautiful river view, close to everything yet private and quiet. Swans floating by all day and a pair of bald eagles fishing right in front of the cabin! Large bedroom, comfortable bed and very nice cabin decor. Very well stocked kitchen and baths. Jacuzzi was great after a day of skiing. Perfect for the two of us and our doggo.

Peace on the river!
We had a great stay while skiing in Harbor Springs. The house was only 20 minutes from the ski hills & the hot tub was the perfect way to wind down each night. The house was perfect for our family of 3. Clean, tidy & offered all the amenities as advertised. The location is peaceful & private with scenic views overlooking Indian River. We saw eagles & swans daily- our teenage son got a kick out of "calling" to the swans, they waited for him daily in the am & they'd "talk" back & forth! Dorene was helpful with any questions we had prior to arrival. We'll be back!

This cabin on the river is perfect for all who enjoy summer activities like boating, fishing, swimming, rafting, shopping and golfing!! This is all at your fingertips and the inside and outside accommodations of this lovely cabin including a boat dock and hot tub are amazing. The owner offers something for all ages and the communication, check in and out process, and security were the best we have experienced!

My husband, John and I truly love everything Up North offers from Lake living, trail riding, hiking, boating to Snowmobiling as this area defines the word Vacationland plus the clean air and stars in the sky are so vibrant!

The homes which we offer are our own personal paradises which we stay at as much as possible.

We love sharing our Vacation Homes to create memories with their families just as we have as well as give you an experience living in the area which you will never forget. All the homes are strictly set up for the Vacationer in mind and all in highly desirable areas with so many different type of activities imaginable for any age group. The homes which we offer have amenities which everyone needs (like me!!!) such as Wi-Fi, Cable TV, Air Conditioning, updated bathrooms and kitchens plus kayaks to use with each and every lake front home, some homes having also canoes and Paddle boats and all the homes have their own private Outdoor Hot Tub usable all year 'round which are all Pet Friendly (fee posted in house rules) as our four-legged family members love it Up North too as you won't have to kennel or have someone watch your pet.

Hope to have you stay!
