We went rock collecting for unique rocks to add to rock garden at home. The home was relaxing and comfortable. My husband does use a walker at times. The open concept accommodated his walker. ##### Michelle V. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Constance A C.

Everything we needed was available and the cabin was beautiful. The beach was clean, the water was clear. Sergey provided excellent directions and suggested a few places we could visit close by. We were visited by some deer, saw a pileated woodpecker, and a few song birds. It was just what we needed to relax and unwind. Thank you for sharing this special place! ##### Constance A C.

The location exceeded our expectations, along with it being very quiet. For as far as we could see in either direction we were the only ones there on the beach. We have been to many VRBO's thru the years and this is our top 3 of all time. Look forward to possibly coming back next year. ##### paul p.

We absolutely loved our stay at Marina’s cabin. It is a lovely, comfortable home right on Lake Huron with all you need to simply relax and enjoy life. There is much to do and see in the area but we mainly stayed “home” and soaked in the beauty of the beach and Lake Huron. Beautiful sunsets, the Milky Way at night and we even got to see the Northern Lights. Also, it is rockhound’s dream location! Sergey is a wonderful host and made sure we had everything we needed. We have stayed at many, many VRBO homes over the years and this one is at the top. We do plan to return!!! ##### Debra M. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Christopher B. Aug 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Beautiful cottage. Nice Property. Great for a quiet getaway. The cottage itself was beyond expectations. Extremely clean with modern appliances all around. Lots of common space. The property is small but has lots of privacy for campfires and morning coffee on the deck. The beach is rocky so bring water shoes. Owners contacted us right away and ensured we had what we needed. Some nice short hiking 10min drive from the cottage. ##### Christopher B. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rose O. Oct 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful cottage, relaxing stay We stayed in this cottage for seven nights and absolutely enjoyed it. The cottage was cozy and very clean. We had basically everything we needed for our stay. The beach is steps away. The whole area is peaceful and quiet. A morning coffee on the porch with the water view, and night soothing wave music was so comforting and relaxing. The town is just 15-20 minutes away, if you want to try some restaurants or get a little more supplies for your stay. Sergay and Marina were great hosts. They were friendly and helpful. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cottage with us, we had a wonderful stay! ##### Rose O. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Breanna S. Jul 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great family get away Me, my husband, our kids, and my in-laws all stayed at this verbo from thursday to sunday. It was such a nice cabin and get away. The master bedroom and on the opposite end from the other 2 bedrooms which gave my husband, me and the kids from privacy from his parents ans siblings. The beach is a littlw rocky so be a sure to being water shoes (they have a few available). It is about 20 minutes away from any town for store which is exactly what we were looking for to be able to relax and enjoy time away from the rush of life. ##### Breanna S. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeani V. Aug 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful We had a wonderful stay at Marina’s Lake House with our children and dogs! As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by Sergey (who was working/staying on property in a separate building). He welcomed us and gave us some helpful pointers about the beach and the surrounding area. The lake and beach were beautiful and the kids and dogs loved the water, going for walks, and looking for rocks. This was a rockhounders paradise!! The house is well out of town and surrounded by incredible nature every where you turn. There were lots of nature preserves, parks, and hikes nearby and we loved exploring them as well. In town we played putt putt golf at Lee’s, visited the local museums, and enjoyed Mexican food and ice cream! It was the most relaxing, peaceful vacation we’ve been on in a long time. We saw beautiful sunrises and sunsets and our last night there, and incredible northern lights show! We are already talking about a return trip in the future. Thank you to Sergey and Marina for sharing your beautiful home with our family! ##### Jeani V. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen R.

The kitchen is well appointed if you want to make meals. The water is steps away out the back door. Plenty of places to see and things to do around Alpena whether you like to explore towns or prefer outdoor adventures. This is the perfect “home base” that instantly feels like home. ##### Nancy M.

Jul 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Marina's Lake Cabin ♥️ The home was fantastic, the lake was steps away from the front porch. We could not ask for a more accommodating host, Sergey was great. This is the first vacation we have been on, where we did not want to leave the home and explore- the lake was all we needed and we loved it. The home is spotless and was easy to keep clean and maintain during our stay, as everything was brand new. We will absolutely be staying here again- we cannot say enough good things about our stay and experience. Thank you!!! ##### Melissa T.
