We love staying at the Spruce cottage every time we come up to Hubbard Lake. You wake up to find deer right outside and a beautiful sunrise off of the lake. Alpena is only 35 minutes away with plenty of nice restaurants and shopping. What an awesome and cozy place will definitely be coming back.Thanks again for having us

About the host

Host profile image
3rd generation Hubbard Laker -been enjoying this beautiful lake since I was 2 years old!
Blessed to have moved here permanently in 2017.

What makes this property unique

I live just down the hill from the cottage so I am a hands on host, allowing for quick response times and last minute requests.
I take great pride in providing an exceptionally clean place for your visit!
A unique property that is within walking distance of the lake, yet very private location with woods surrounding 3 sides.
