We visited this property in mid July with our young kids and my wife's older parents. We LOVED this place! The house was well laid out, with plenty of space to relax and explore. Lake Esau was crystal clear and provided all sorts of entertainment - listening to loons while the sun rises, kayaking, and late afternoon swims. The property is tucked away off the beaten path, but close to many fun places - lighthouses within 10 minutes, Alpena within 25 minutes (great beach there!), and Ocqueoc Falls within 30 minutes. On top of that, the property owner was incredibly kind and very responsive. We'd highly recommend this one!
