"Alpena is a quiet, welcoming town, and this home is in a safe, friendly neighborhood that is great for walking with the dog. It’s about a 10-minute walk to Thomson Park Beach on Lake Huron, which has dog-friendly areas. Starlite Beach is a little farther away and was busier during our visit, but it offers a splash park and public bathrooms.Rockport State Recreation Area is a 20–30 minute drive north and has Devonian-era fossils you can collect, while Negwegon State Park is about 30 minutes south with a beautiful, undeveloped shoreline that’s perfect for hiking and beachcombing. Both parks are dog-friendly.The house is updated, exceptionally clean, and comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen and thoughtful extras that made our stay more enjoyable. The fully fenced backyard works well for dogs of all sizes. The host was quick to respond to any questions.Guests should know that the upstairs has low ceilings and firm beds, so taller guests may prefer the downstairs bedroom. The house does not have central air conditioning, and the window units can be noisy, but in early August we found nights cool and breezy.We enjoyed dinner at Mango’s, the free NOAA Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary museum, and a glass-bottom boat tour on Thunder Bay. There are both Aldi and Meijer nearby for easy grocery shopping. If we visit Alpena again, we would gladly stay here a second time."
"We enjoyed our stay! Close to town, relaxing waves, plenty of room for the whole family to relax and enjoy. Thank you for sharing your home with us. "
"This place exceeded my expectations- it was such a cute mom/pop spot. The fridge and microwave both worked great, good selection of channels on the tv. The room was a little on the small side but very clean. My kids were a little bummed the playground was disassembled but they had the beach and park right across the road to make up for it! "
"Very nice facility, only thing I could say is the room doors don't seal to the floor and hallway noise transfers into the room, other than that very nice pleasant stay in room 213"
Family owned vacation suite conveniently located across from Lake Huron beach.

"The checkin was easy and the kitchen facilities, bedrooms and bath were clean, well stocked and very accommodating. Will definitely stay at 40 WINKS again ."
"We really enjoyed our stay here. It was very peaceful and quiet. Very unique and pleasant surroundings, being right on the creek. We enjoyed hearing the creek at night as we slept, and drinking morning coffee over looking the trout pond. The place is very clean and easy to stay at. The owner is friendly and helpful. Feeding the fish is pretty fun! There are many beautiful places near here to visit and enjoy. We will definitely come back if we are in the area. "
