We stayed here for the weekend and went tubing on the AuSable. The cabin was in a perfect location for us. Close to the golf course and Alcona Canoe Rental. My wife and I enjoyed sitting on the large front porch watching nature in the Michigan shaped chairs. The cabin is tastefully decorated in rustic Michigan style with all the amenities. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this lovely home.
We stayed a short weekend to hunt and hike. There is hunting near by. Lake Huron is about a half hour away also. The cabin had everything we needed for a short weekend get away.
Comfortable and cozy really felt the cabin experience!
Everything went smooth and easy, very nice! I would definitely stay again for a variety of reasons!

Enjoyed family time, nice house, although it shouldn’t be booked as 3 bedroom…I don’t consider a futon in the livingroom a bedroom. Quiet area, was hoping to see more wildlife than the neighborhood cat! But it was clean and roomy for us and the pooch!
Great for a mostly peaceful getaway, very quiet except for neighbor occasionally working on car outside. Had a pair of owls that hung out with us outside almost every night which was cool. Easy check in besides the mowers showing up right as we were unloading our dogs. The couch seemed a little rough, recliners were difficult and the arm rest areas kept flopping backwards. There was not a vintage stove as listed, just as a heads up, but did not affect trip at all. Amenities are minimal compared to other rentals I’ve stayed at, but that is communicated prior. I feel like with a few more kitchen resources this place would be almost perfect. Master bedroom was very comfortable and peaceful. The house does not have central air and is cooled by one window unit in the living room, which was a surprise but work better than expected. Kitchen faucet handle needs to replaced, not easy to switch between settings, and seems like the bathroom sink regulator is broken as well. Golf course in Glennie is great for a round as well as dining option. Internet was not very fast but we brought our own internet as well, so it wasn’t a big deal. Overall great if your looking to get away from people and technology and unplug for a few days.
Nicely decorated and clean lodge for family gatherings. Large great room with plenty of seating for catching up with the family and friends. 2 Bedrooms sleep 2 each and futon in great room can sleep 2 more. Plenty of attractions nearby to get out and stretch your legs. Major grocery chains are less than an hour away.

Thank you, Nikki! We’ve added many more kitchen items, we appreciate your feedback!!
Our stay was better than expected! There happened to be a booking issue and Alyshia totally saved our weekend. She was able to put us in another one of her VRBO houses and it was just amazing. Had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Thank you for being so flexible during your stay! We hope you come stay with us again in the future!!!
My husband, Justin, and I began renting our first cottage on North Lake when we were too busy with our kids summer sports to enjoy it with our family. Glennie has become such a popular up north vacation destination, we now own three houses in Glennie! We get so much joy from sharing our homes with guests, and love hearing reviews of how they are making the same memories our family has been able to enjoy since coming to Glennie!
