The property is nicely located on the canal. That was the reason we rented this place with an easy access to the water. The access wasn’t as easy as we were hoping making it hard to get in and out the kayaks, etc.. The house is old and needs some fresh paint and a deep clean. The strong smell of bleach coming in was covering a musty smell. The windows were dirty, there’s was nothing on the house manual about the area, no recommandations of places to visit or restaurants to try, etc… Only a bunch of to do lists at check in and checkout time. There’s 2 grill, one charcoal attached to the deck full of old ashes that we couldn’t removed because it was chained. The second grill, a gas one, had only one burner working. Our grilling night didn’t end up the way we were hoping.. The kitchen doesn’t have much, like I couldn’t find a whisk or a wooden spatula to make eggs, there’s was only 1 wine glass, a bunch of champagne flutes and plastic cups. The communication was very business oriented with a contract needing to be signed. I never rented a place that made me feel like I was borrowing it from someone I owed to.I am very surprised about the review prior to us, maybe relatives..?

Good enough

We just had a short stay, simply a place to sleep. Main bed was squeaky, the water was slimy( too soft), and the bunk beds were difficult to make. Otherwise it was fine enough.

Nice, clean place to stay in the water! Everything is as described, and it was perfect for a nice, relaxing getaway. It was a very nice touch that we were able to bring our dogs! That is hard to find! Thank you Dewayne for being a great host!

Great little cabin

Came here to do some ice fishing. Perfect little cabin for us, has all you need for such a trip. Access to the main lake just a few houses down the road, with the canal out back (which I'm sure is awesome in the summer).

About the host

Hosted by Dewayne Kirkman

Host profile image
I own multiple vacation rentals in the Cadillac area. If this one is filled, please ask if I have others available. I am a realtor in the 6-county area. Have 2 children, and love spending my time away in the rentals I own when they aren't rented out.

Why they chose this property

All the access to Lake Mitchell and Lake Cadillac without the higher prices of most lake front rentals! No cleaning fees. Yes, you are asked to clean after yourselves, but for an hour of work you get to keep your money in your pocket.

What makes this property unique

All the access to Lake Mitchell and Lake Cadillac without the higher prices of most lake front rentals! Dock your boat 20 feet from the house.
