The sunset on the first evening I arrive for my stay was totally amazing. The orange and red glow from the sun reflecting off the lake setting behind the trees was mesmerizing, and it set the tone for a very relaxed enjoyable week. Local antique shops, thrift stores, gift shops, restaurants, and grocery stores had everything one could ask for and the larger cities of Gaylord and Alpena were so close by. The host and hostess even knocked on my door one evening and took me for a pontoon boat ride around the lake. It was beautiful and wonderful. They were so gracious. I look forward to my next trip back up there.
