What an amazing weekend!! Everything about the house was as described, it had so much room and it was nice to be able to have some space when traveling with family. Nice location, we were able to get to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Mackinac Island within a 90 min drive. We will definitely be back!!

The back yard is peaceful and inviting, with the dock and the lake, and so pretty to enjoy morning coffee or an evening fire (we didn't have the best weather so we didn't sit out to eat meals). At times the gas station next door is annoyingly loud with some cars and/or music from the cars, (not the hosts fault of course but it's the location). As a cabin on the lake it was a nice place to stay for a short get away, we didn't find the beds to be very comfortable, so unfortunately we didn't sleep great while we were there. The location made it easy to go to the various northern locations we wanted to go to, so that was nice! Wouldn't rule out staying there again, though I feel for the price it could use some improvements and/or updates. Overall a nice place to stay with easy access to different northern Michigan hot spots, and great that we could take our pup with us, she doesn't like to leave our side.

Very nice and comfortable, wish weather would have cooperated so we could have used kayaks a bit more. Kitchen and bathrooms were great - would suggest a regular table to eat at with more comfortable chairs, instead of a high top table - but not a big issue. Back yard was great.
