Dock + Lakefront! Family-Friendly Michigan Getaway

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear you felt well taken care of and that our responsiveness helped make your stay enjoyable. It's wonderful to know you found the home beautiful, welcoming, and comfortable for your group. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to host you again at Avery Lake Escapes anytime!

From the owner: "Thank you for staying with us again and for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you enjoy the cabin and appreciate the suggestions. We’ll be checking the thermostat zones to ensure the bedrooms are heating consistently, addressing the upstairs shower pan, and giving the carpet a deep clean. We’re also reviewing our starter supply setup and entry code system to make the guest experience even smoother. We appreciate you bringing these items to our attention as we continue improving the cabin for our guests."

Thank you so much for sharing your detailed feedback about your stay. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the lake and had fun using the kayaks and fishing off the dock. Alpena sounds like a wonderful spot to explore, especially with the beach and splash pad for the kids. We are sorry to hear that the portable AC units weren’t quite enough to keep the bedrooms cool during the heatwave. We appreciate you letting us know for future awareness. Also, thank you for mentioning the garbage bag situation. It’s great to know that overall you found the home comfortable and clean. Your tips about bringing extra garbage bags and fans on hot days are very helpful for guests. We hope to have the opportunity to better serve you in the future.

Ryan, thank you for sharing your experience, we’re pleased you loved the cabin and had a great stay! It’s good to know you found the home well-stocked and would stay here again– we’d love to have you back. That said, we apologize for the issues you encountered that detracted a bit from your visit. To clarify, while we do provide a starter pack of supplies that includes toilet paper, this is only to get your stay off to a good start and may not last through your entire stay. We apologize for any inconvenience this caused. Our team and the homeowner inspected the home the day before your arrival and it was clean. We truly apologize for the mouse droppings and flies that you saw and pest control will be contacted to remedy this concern. Regarding the heating upstairs, there are three boiler system zones controlled by three thermostats and the system has been simplified to have only one thermostat in the kitchen. A plumber did a complete inspection and found no leaking water from either bathroom or any other plumbing. A pipe in the heating system was found to be corroded and has been repaired. We are truly sorry for any issue you had with the 10-digit code and lower knob lock and the homeowner is looking to replace the door handle with a different style to address your concern. We truly appreciate your feedback as we are always striving to improve. We enjoyed having you as our guest and look forward to hosting you again!
