We had an amazing stay here! The area was picturesque and the cabin had all of the amenities we needed. We had the best time with our toddler walking up and down the beach hunting rocks, listening to the waves in the morning while drinking coffee on the porch, and walking the nearby nature trails. The cabin is the perfect place for a family to stay and have a fun, relaxing getaway in pure Michigan.

We had a wonderful stay at this Alpena gem! The house was very clean and welcoming. The private beach was definitely private and relaxing. Very rocky beach, which was great for us as we love to rock hunt. We had a great time exploring the area!

We had a lovely time. We enjoyed combing the beach for unique rocks and drift wood. The cabin was the perfect size and layout for our family, and close to the shoreline.

Serene Beauty

Marina and Sergey’s beach-front cabin is a beauty. The location is serene - far enough away from town for stillness and relaxation, yet close enough to amenities and activities. The cabin is newly built, open and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.

Great Stay!

We had a wonderful week at Marina’s Lake Cabin! The house was lovely, clean and comfortable. It was a good home base for our treks to area hiking trails and lighthouses. We enjoyed the kayak, fire pit, and collecting rocks on beach. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

This cabin rental is gorgeous, clean and in such a beautiful, peaceful setting along Thunder Bay in Lake Huron. We loved our stay here and just wish it could’ve lasted longer. Sergey was a most welcoming and helpful host. We really appreciate the owners opening up their home for us to enjoy a truly relaxing time. It’s a beautiful piece of Heaven here on earth.

Enjoyed much time on the porch and walking the bay. We went rock collecting for unique rocks to add to rock garden at home. The home was relaxing and comfortable. My husband does use a walker at times. The open concept accommodated his walker.

Tranquility

We had a lovely time at Marina’s cabin. Everything we needed was available and the cabin was beautiful. The beach was clean, the water was clear. Sergey provided excellent directions and suggested a few places we could visit close by. We were visited by some deer, saw a pileated woodpecker, and a few song birds. It was just what we needed to relax and unwind. Thank you for sharing this special place!

Petoskey stone heaven, just grab a couple for a souvenir. Strong internet, owner friendly and helpful. There’s a few condiments, ice cream, etc in frig. He encourages you to use it! Good mattress , great bath towels. Back up generator kicked on for a few minutes while while we were there. Water filter at the sink, kayak and canoe. It gave my spouse some peace from unavoidable changes at work to be there. Also, there are curtains in bedrooms and bathroom, I couldn’t be sure from the photos. You’ll love it.

Fantastic Vacation Spot!

The cabin is wonderful. It has the perfect porch to hang out on. The kitchen is well appointed if you want to make meals. The water is steps away out the back door. Plenty of places to see and things to do around Alpena whether you like to explore towns or prefer outdoor adventures. This is the perfect “home base” that instantly feels like home.

Super clean and right on the water. Very cozy! This place had everything you need pot and pans, cups, coffee maker ,all you need is your family and the memories will come. We had the best time at this place. Good weather and rainy it was a great place to stay. The covered porch was the best!!! Grab your coffee and wake up to the most amazing view. I would highly recommend this property for a family that wants to get away from it all.

Awesome stay

Very beautiful home and property. Clean and well maintained. The location exceeded our expectations, along with it being very quiet. For as far as we could see in either direction we were the only ones there on the beach. We have been to many VRBO's thru the years and this is our top 3 of all time. Look forward to possibly coming back next year.
