We truly enjoyed this slice of paradise for the week. The home was well-stocked, clean, and spacious. Beautiful lake view from several rooms, enclosed porch, and decks. Wonderful outdoor space too - big yard. It was the perfect place to make wonderful memories with our college daughters!

We had an amazing weekend at this cabin. The location is perfect—right on the water with a great fishing deck where we had a blast catching panfish. The cabin itself was incredibly clean and spacious. We loved taking the canoe out into the lake for some peaceful birdwatching. Highly recommend!

Our overall stay on Bad Axe Lake was very nice and pleasant. We love the character of the home with the antiques and access to the water right from the deck. We saw many loons, eagles, swans, and listened to all the wildlife at night. Host/owners were very helpful and easy to communicate with and would definitely recommend for those looking for a quiet place to unplug.

We loved this property! A real rustic traditional cabin vibe! Host was super responsive and nice!Would definitely come back but we thought it needed a few things to make it a 5 rating:1) there were no water toys or anything to use on the water. Would really have enjoyed a paddle boat or 2 kayaks. The lake was beautiful ... really wanted to go out on it. 2) Exterior of cabin/roof/ gutters could use a good pressure washing and cleaning. Lots of cobwebs, spiders, old bird nests and dead branches and pine needles. I know its hard to keep up with these things in the north country but just an observation. But it was truly an old fashion cabin experience. We absolutely loved it!!

We loved our stay at this cabin on a clear, peaceful, and beautiful lake. We spent most days floating in the water listening to the loons. At night, we had a wonderful bonfire by the lake. Our family enjoyed our relaxing stay so much.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful lake home. The cabin is lovely with Northwoods ambiance, is well-stocked, and provided plenty of room for the four of us. We were entertained daily by the resident great blue heron (we named him Aaron) who hung out on the dock every day, pileated woodpeckers, loons right in front of the cabin singing us to sleep, deer across the lake, and a bald eagle that landed in a tree right above the deck where we were sitting. We particularly enjoyed the log swing on the shore and listening to the loons. This place is magical, and we can't wait to stay here again!

This was my first VRBO experience. The host, the communication, the home, amenities and location from the home to the lake was phenomenal. Will stay here again. Home had everything we needed. This family of 5 adults and a 2 1/2 year old really enjoyed ourselves and felt very comfortable being there! Thank you for making this first VRBO experience so easy and perfect!

Being in a cabin on a lake is very therapeutic! We loved all the wildlife including the daily eagle/s that flew over. We loved the loon concerts day and night, and all the other bird song during the day. Canoeing was so fun. We were grateful for the A/C and having a porch. We were very lucky to not have any mosquitos. The beds were comfortable as was all the other furniture. We hope to come back to this cabin in the years to come.
