This was our second time renting out this cottage and it is just so peaceful and it has everything you need. This lake was my childhood vacation place so it makes me so happy to have such an amazing place to rent on the same lake. I highly recommend staying here.

Clean and comfortable cottage on a beautiful lake.

Makes a great base camp and/or relaxing getaway. Clean and well stocked, if you forget something don't worry. Plenty to do within a short travel and Alpena with everything is only 20-30 minutes away.The hosts are amazing and the cottage is set up perfectly. The sunrise over Applegate island is picture perfect.

This is a GRAND getaway!

We can't say enough good about this home! We loved it, was perfect for us. Very clean (which is important, especially when most owners charge a fee for cleaning).Had everything you would need for a great vacation. Definitely felt like a home away from home. Will look for this place again in the future.

A great mix of fun and relaxation

The Grand Getaway was just what we needed for some fun and relaxation. The lake is beautiful and very clean. The house had everything we needed and was comfortable and clean. It was far away enough from everything to feel private and secluded, while also being close enough to everything to enjoy exploring, eating out, bike trails, beaches, etc. Highly recommend.

Perfect fall location

Came up for a wedding in Alpena and wanted to be somewhere on the water. This was the perfect location. Our second night we saw a tremendous northern light display. This cozy two bedroom one bath cottage is just perfect for four people. Very well equipped. We hope to return soon.

Family Getaway

This house fit our family of 4 perfectly! Very clean and comfortable, with plenty of room to spread out if needed. Water views from nearly every room in the house! Owners had detailed welcome notes, including points to interest in the area, fishing tips and even dining recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - thank you!

Super clean, cozy with a fabulous view

We had a very nice stay. The house was very clean, had plenty of towels, and a very new washer and dryer that worked great. The bed was extremely comfortable. The view was spectacular, and the neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. Communications with our hosts were answered very quickly. We enjoyed our stay very much. I highly recommend this property.

Awesome cottage!

Its been four years in a row that we’ve rented this beautiful cottage, and my family and I absolutely love it. The owners really do a wonderful job of anticipating what a perfect up north house should be. The place is spotless due to a great property manager and very well equipped with fun things to do—including a canoe, kayaks, tubes, and fire pit. I cannot recommend a house more than this beautiful place.

Family Getaway

The cottage was beautiful! They had everything could ever need all set for us! There was one air conditioner in the bedroom, but after inquiring about needing air for my medical condition, when I arrived there was a portable one in the entryway also! The kitchen had everything I needed to cook with and the cottage was very very clean! I am very grateful for such a wonderful lake experience.

Lovely cottage

We had a much needed relaxing stay, Chuck and Lisa were very gracious owners. They were so kind to us! Due to circumstances outside of our control couldn’t arrive til Monday which wasn’t an issue at all for them. The cottage was very comfortable, spotless and the kitchen had everything we needed with the perk of an amazing view of the lake with the fall colors at their peak!
