Gracious and communicative host. Lovely cottage, very clean, and comfortable with a well kept yard. The outdoor deck has plenty of seating, with a great view of the lake. The dock was great for our fishing boat and provided opportunities for all types of water activities. Nice kitchen and convenient appliances. Overall a great Cabin for a fun and memorable vacation

We stayed at this cottage for 3 weeks. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was so nice to sit out on the deck and watch all of the ducks, geese and Mergansers swim by with their babies in tow. We even had a doe and two fawns walk by the cottage and walk out to a small island just off of the beach and then disappear into the trees. The sunrise over Long Lake is spectacular. Lots to explore around the area. Alpena is a neat town with much maritime history. The cottage was clean and well stocked with cooking and kitchen utensils. Ryan was attentive to our needs and checked to see if we needed anything. Again, we enjoyed our stay very much.Andy and Jackie R.
