Great property, quiet clean and convinient. Freddy's grocery is just 10 minutes away and has everything you could need. Excellent fishing, there are plenty of pike bliegill and bass in the canal right off of the dock. Trolling motor for the pelican was perfect for getting around the lake. We had a blast.

We stayed here Fri and Saturday left on Sunday. First weekend of October very quiet and peaceful. Place offers a lot of options, plenty of beds for guests, 2 kayaks to borrow or a small John boat with a trolling motor and battery ready to use. A grill with gas out on the deck. Very clean and easy to use home. We were unable to get the wifi to work for us but really didn’t care. Not sure why we followed the instructions but it wouldn’t work.Beds are of the firmer type but not bad.If you plan to use upstairs the stairs are old style narrow and steep.All in all though a nice place well furnished for a stay. Thanks Paul

Anniversary trip

We had a great time at the lake cottage. Everything was as listed and in good condition. We were looking for a quiet place on a lake and that is exactly what we got. We really loved the added bonus of the little boat and trolling motor. We were able to get around the entire lake on a single battery charge. We made sure to bring a paddle just in case. We enjoyed fishing and just floating on the beautiful calm clear lake. Kitchen was well stocked with spices and seasonings to make a home cook very happy. I made every meal at the cottage and I had everything I needed. We would definitely stay here again. Lisa and Nick

Very quiet getaway!

The cabin has been undated and was very comfortable. We loved sitting on the deck watching geese swim by, kayaking on the lake, and catches up as a family. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had all the appliances and tools we needed. It is very close to a small town and to miles and miles of state owned wilderness and trails. We're so glad we booked this place!

Best vacation everr

The house was very clean. Loved how well stocked everything was. Loved the fact we could sit on the dock and fish with the younger kiddos but still be close to the house. Would definitely book again. This is actually our second time booking this house we have been booking it every year for the last couple of years. I honestly don't in have anything negative that I could say about the house or even the property/owner.

Perfect for us

We needed a place to stay during the Sno*Drift race and it was perfectly situated near the school and senior center where those related events took place. Clean and tidy, had more than enough towels, coffee and blankets for us. Very happy. Only thing that was confusing was the lock to get in the door, it malfunctioned.

Great Up North Hideaway

We had an amazing time up north at this rental. The cabin was the perfect spot to relax, fish, and kayak. We watched the davis park/Atlanta fireworks from the street, talk about front row seats! The house had all the amenities necessary for our trip. We had a great time on the Jon boat fishing and caught a lot of fish (bluegills, bass, pike) from the dock + on Crooked Lake. The cabin is situated on a quite street and within a short drive of downtown. Looking forward to booking another trip here!

Host profile image
Hello I’m Paul!

I’m here to help make your stay fun and easy. I am the owner and property manager. My family and I love coming up north and enjoying the lake with fishing, swimming, kayaking. Our other favorite thing up here is riding our quads, dirt bikes and side x sides. The trails are amazing, and we like to cruise around looking for elk, deer, and turkeys. We are planning to make many more memories up here, so feel free to ask for ideas on fun things to do this is nature's paradise!

Why they chose this property

Great location on the lake for paddle boats, paddle boards, kayaks, or just playing in the water off the dock. The lot is extra big for relaxing space with your company enjoying a campfire or grilling out. There’s lots of room to park many vehicles and trailers. Trails for riding start right off the property and can lead you to Gaylord, Traverse City, Mackinaw City, Cheboygan and more.

The cabin is almost 1,100 sq ft, and with a complete remodel and updated open space, it’s ready to accommodate guests comfortably.

What makes this property unique

Atlanta is the Elk Capital of Michigan and there are miles of ORV trails to explore!
