Perfect weather for our Labor Day family gathering! The beach was perfect for nearby family to come and play in the water! The house fit our family group perfectly! Tim was very friendly to work with. Being near the beach, sand was hard to combat but if everyone washed their feet at the hose provided we got most of it! Very well stocked kitchen and kids bowls and plates!

Labor Day get away

The house was clean and the property was very nice. It was great to have everything provided.... linens, towels, dish soap and tablets, tons of dishes, a propane grill, with propane and fire wood! Many dont offer all these extras, made it so nice for a 5 day weekend!

Family Vacation June 2025

Overall stay was very good. Cottage was clean and within a handful of steps down to the lake. Upstairs bedrooms were a tad warm due to the AC setup, but we managed. One small inconvenience with the 1/2 bathroom outside attached to the garage. Property manager was prompt and came by to check in as needed. Enjoyed our stay!

Family fun summer get away

We had a great time at the cabin. It was a perfect set up for our group of 8. Kids were able to swim and fish right off the dock. The Paddle boards and canoe were fun for everyone. We were able to dock our boats right at the cabin and even caught a few nice fish( large mouth bass, walleye, perch, and pike). The cabin is located in a nice quiet neighborhood and close enough to lake huron so getting to the big lake was still convenient. Overall we had a great time.

Great Summer Get Away!

Beautiful lake and property! We had an amazing week playing with our dogs and kids on the water. The paddleboarding, fishing, swimming, bonfire under the super moon, and card games in the evenings were just what we needed. The local microbrewery was a lot of fun for an evening out. We also ventured into Tawas and enjoyed a beautiful walk out on the point taking in the wildlife and scenery, followed by shopping and ice cream while listening to live music downtown. Great location with something fun for everyone. Tim and Tanya were fantastic hosts! Thank you for the wonderful memories!

Our once a year vacation

Most everything was clean, beds up stairs were comfortable, however the couch, the pull out bed and recliner down stairs were not. We are 69 years plus 1 of us in a wheelchair we could not sleep up stairs. They were worn out and felt dirty we covered them with sheets. The lake was great, nice porches , fire pit was nice and close and alot of wood. 2 bathrooms were clean and we wre happy to have them..The TV went out and Tim the owner really worked on trying to get our service back. Everyone who slept upstairs said they would rent again.
