Three bedroom, 1.5 bath, on a small lake, kitchen had everything we needed. About a 10 min drive to Cadillac. Everything was clean.We stayed there while ice fishing on Hodenpyl and Mitchell. I'll be staying here again if available when I return for my next trip.Two bedrooms share the half bath. Ideal place for taking it easy and relaxing or just using as a home base while exploring the area. Great experience.

Such a great place to stay amazing view we are on a high school fishing tournament so we are up early and back late. It would be a great place for a family to go and spend a weekend on the lake. Wish we would’ve had more downtime to enjoy it but all in all it was a perfect place to stay very close to town but yet nice and quiet thanks again.

We had a great bike race weekend at this location. It was very clean and comfortable and we appreciate the kitchen and cooking amenities, even a few basics in the pantry was nice. There was low water pressure though which made showers interesting. That’s our only complaint. It was a nice place to lay our heads during a fun weekend.
