We'd like to complement the owners, Tom and Michelle, for making our week long vacation very memorable. Their cabin is spacious enough to sleep 3 adults and a 12, 3, and 1 year old very comfortably and the fully stocked kitchen had all the pots, pans and utensils needed to prepare meals. The richly decorated and renovated house made us feel like home and for those who miss their electronics, you'll be happy with the speedy wifi, Blueray movie selections and cable tv. If you stick around the cabin, you'll enjoy fishing off the pier (we caught some bluegill) wading, swimming or boating. The pier has an easy stair access into the lake. At night you can watch the sun set and make smores over the firepit. You are a short ride to golfing, Higgins Lake State Park complete with a sandy beachfront and a selection of local pub type establishments or fast food. 60-90 min. in each direction got us to Grand Rapids and Mackinac Island for a day trip. I have to give a special shout out to the owners who were very responsive to my questions and helped provide a worry-free vacation. They even immediately responded to a suggestion from a previous reviewer and supplied box fans for us!
Suggestions for visitors: As previous reviewers mentioned, wear shoes on the deck as it weathered but structurally sound. Consider heading the 8 miles to Walmart if you are looking for budget groceries. Otherwise you can get top quality meats, dips and cheeses at a higher price at the local meat market/grocer. Bring some mosquito spray if you are going that time of year. The property is safe and comfortable for small children to get around, but don't forget to bring plug covers and move some of the nice decorations out of way of small hands! Also - no need to overpack since there is a washer/dryer on site!
We'd definitely rent from Tom and Michelle again!
