Clean property with everything you need. We had a great weekend. Played bags around the fire and had a beautiful day on the lake. Comfortable beds and beautiful decor!
Awesome up north get away! Very close proximity to the lake and state park! Easy check in process with everything we needed for our stay! Perfect little outdoor area to enjoy a bbq, bonfires and yard games after a day on the water! Host was very responsive, nice, and helpful! Would definitely stay again!
Overall a nice place and would recommend to families. Within an hours drive of some great ORV 4x4 Trails.

I'm glad you & your family enjoyed yourselves & would welcome you back in the future 😊
The house was exactly what the description stated. We (myself, my son and his family, 2 girls 8 and 4) stayed for 4 night but the girls wanted to stay for "2 weeks" they definitely had a good time. Enjoyed the lake during the day and a campfire every night! Will more than likely try to book again next summer.
Location was great for Northern Michigan summer fun! The property was as advertised, very comfy, and felt like home for our short get away. We would definitely consider a return visit!
