A great little spot for a weekend getaway! The cabin was very clean, strong internet access, and well stocked with kitchen amenities. The neighbors were quiet and the lake was very clean. We had a wonderful stay and would be happy to stay again!

Excellent location on Long Lake and a short trip to the big lake and Alpena. Open floor plan was great and the kitchen was amazing. Firewood ready to go for the campfire and plenty of chairs for everyone. Everything went smoothly with directions and check in, wireless connectivity and working smart tv. A very nice experience!! Thank you!

This cottage on Long Lake was perfect for our little family (two adults and two small children) for our week long vacation. It is cozy, clean, well stocked, and in a great location. The inclusion of linens, towels, and a fully stocked kitchen was such a great thing for us. In addition to being just steps from Long Lake, it is also only 15-30 minutes from many fun spots to explore Lake Huron and do any shopping you may need. The homeowner was incredibly helpful, thorough, and prompt in his communications with us from trip preparation through our exit at the end of our time. We made lots of wonderful family memories here and would love to return again in the future.

A wonderful comfortable cabin by the lake.

From the moment we arrived, the cabin was welcoming - clean, organized, all the items we needed for cooking and serving, feel at home decor. A great set up outside, as well. The location is a nice short drive into Alpena and the surrounding area. A beautiful view across the lake, including a wonderful view of the sunrise. And nicely quiet. We highly recommend this rental. Great communication with the host (quick responses and wanted to make sure our stay went well). We will be talking about this trip for years to come and that is in great part to staying at this location.

Change of plans

Due to some family stuff, my party of four turned in to a party of one. The place was a perfect relaxing getaway right on the lake. It was a great location for me because it was close to other family members, and many of them were able to stop by for a visit. The little store and the restaurant on the water were in walking distance and had pretty much anything I needed, not that town is that far away. I would stay here again but next time will try to bring my boat.

Very Nice Cabin

Family had a wonderful stay with our young grandchildren. House was very clean and just the right size for our group. Everyone enjoyed walking right out on the dock to have breakfast. Beautiful location and very quiet neighborhood. Wish we would have booked the whole week instead of three nights.
