Perfect up north cozy cabin

Exactly what we needed for a 3 night stay up north. 3 adult men stayed in this location, and with the pull out couch we all had our own beds. Everything was clean, the owner was easy to communicate with, and we'd stay there again without hesitation.

Relaxing get away

This place is a perfect get away for the family and a fun return to hubbard lake after 5 years. The property manager is extremely friendly and attentive, house is extremely clean and organized, overall good place to stay to explore hubbard lake and/or to just relax. Will probably book again on our next visit to the area.

Cozy and simple

For the price of about 104 a night, we felt that we got what we paid for. The cabin was in a great location and was cozy inside - the up north cabin vibe you’d expect! The living space provided a comfortable spot to lounge with a few people or kick back in one of the recliners and the kitchen had a small table you could sit at if desired. The beds were also comfortable. Deb, the host, was an excellent communicator and very thoughtful in turning the heat on before our arrival since the weather had taken a turn. Everything was meticulously clean upon our arrival and check in was smooth. Some things to note: Neither of the bedrooms had doors on them, only curtains, which I didn’t remember seeing in the listing. Be sure to bring cooking spray or oil as there wasn’t any and the pans were older. Only two of the four pillows on my bed actually felt like they still had enough stuffing in them so luckily we had brought the kids’ pillows for them sleeping on the sofa bed.For the price per night, which was during the off-season, I felt that it was worth the value overall and would recommend the cabin to future guests.

Cute Cabin and Excellent Location!!

This cabin is cozy and cute. Big enough for a family of 3 or 4, and super comfortable. It is in a great location, with access to driving around to see many different things. The area and neighborhood are quiet and peaceful. The woods behind and around the cabin are nice, you are not closely located to anyone else.

Perfect get away

We wanted a quiet place to see some of Northern Michigan. This fit our needs. Deer and other wildlife nearly walked up to the back door. We could have cooked, but we found a variety good food at local restaurants. Relaxing stay.

This is a perfect little quaint setting of a cottage in a wooded setting

A perfect little place for four or less guests. Great location for anyone boating, ATV's, winter snowmobiling or fishing. A short walk downhill to beautiful Lake Hubbard. Debbie is also a fantastic host, very good communicator. The cottage has all the little necessities available. Enjoy your next stay here and book with confidence.

Perfect Place for a Quiet Getaway!

Welcoming, homey cabin with everything we needed and more. Tidy property with a nice picnic table and deck, fire ring, and firewood. The kitchen was well appointed, and the bathroom was clean. Every window had blinds, and they all worked! A few references were on hand to provide us with ideas for day trips and good meals. No overbearing rulebooks, and the WiFi password was in plain sight. There are curtains, not doors, providing privacy in the bedrooms. This was not a problem for us and added to the charm. We hope to visit again soon!
