Nice home and great location for ATV trails and great golf courses. Enjoyed playing darts in the garage and had a bar in the garage as well. The garage and bar area could have been cleaned up a little better as there was some cludder. But overall the property is exactly as described.

Great place, comfy beds!

Stayed three nights while turkey hunting. Hunting wasn’t that great. The cabin was very comfortable. We all slept great and enjoyed the peace and quiet at the end of the road.

The house was right on the snowmobile trail. Garage bar area was fun with the dart board. Only complaint is the grill was nonfunctional because the burners were all shot. Cooking supplies were pretty bare.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for highlighting the great location and the garage bar area. We appreciate you letting us know about the grill issue—this has since been resolved, and a brand-new grill has been installed and is ready for use. We appreciate your stay and hope to have the opportunity to host you again.

Quiet and peaceful

House was better than expected, we have been on three snowmobile trips this year and this was the best house we have stayed in. Wish the towns in Michigan were as friendly to Snowmobilers as Wisconsin or the U.P. Is so we would book this house again in a minute!

February Snowmobile trip

Great cottage in Lakes of the North right on the snowmobile trail. The cottage and heated garage were exactly as advertised. Four adults enjoyed our 3 night stay with plenty of space & everything needed for cooking meals and hanging out between rides. Everyone agreed the beds were comfortable.

Quiet Cottage

Nice little cottage, clean and well furnished. We loved that it was at the end of the street which was very quiet. Another huge positive was having the trails right in the back yard. We would most definitely return.

Great home base

We went up north for a little getaway. Used the cottage as a home base to do local activities. We were a group of 2 families and we had 5 kids with us. The loft area was perfect for them. The Kids: 12-16 y.o. all enjoyed the pool at the clubhouse. Need to bring your own towels to the pool. We would stay here again in the future.

It was okay- different color house than advertised

The house is actually a navy blue (which looks really good). It just threw us off because we were looking for a cream house when first arriving. The landscaping could have been better. The grass was super tall and just needed to be maintained. The location was good. We went to Torch lake one day and Mackinac Island another day and it was located well for our travels.

A Peaceful Getaway

We enjoyed our stay in this comfortable cabin. We ran into a couple of snags when we first arrived. Nothing major that ruined our opinion of the place or would prevent us from booking again. But I did reach out to the guest contact and never heard back. Overall though, the home was clean and comfortable. Our kids loved having the loft area all to themselves. It really was the perfect getaway spot after the busyness of Christmas!

I try to look at the positives and not leave negative reviews but i was somewhat disappointed in this house. A dozen mouse bait traps ( 2 in every room) is bit excessive and not very hygienic in my opinion and i am pretty sure i still heard mice in the ceiling during the night…The furnishings in the house were clean and the beds were comfortable but thats about all the good i can say.Its an older home that has had some renovations but very DIY style. Just not something i am happy paying good money to rent. Driveway was poorly plowed 2ft ice bank to access the garage. In front of the house it looked like they tried to burn furniture and got halfway thru and left it…I have stayed at many places in lakes of the north over the past 30 years,,,, there are worse places than this and better places choose carefully…

Property as described

The access to trails was perfect, the quiet end of the road was perfect, garage very convenient & definitely a plus for our ATV's. We purchased clubhouse passes but didn't end up using them. Couple cleanliness concerns but nothing too crazy. The bathroom rugs hadn't been washed in a bit and the comforter on the top bunk upstairs had stains all over it. We just took it off. Could use some TLC such as a broken door jam on one bedroom door and damaged drywall in the other. We were just get worried about being blamed. All in all we would rent this property again.
