Pack your swimsuits cause you will need it as the sandy beach is great to swim and play. Pratt lake is great for your skiboat, waterskis, tubes, pontoon, kayaks or jet skis to play on all of the 180 acres Pratt Lake offers! Relax at the picnic table or sit and gaze at the lake from the deck. Grab a book and read in the sand. Enjoy the beach and great views of Pratt Lake. Pack your 'Smores' for the outdoor fire pit. Fish from the 40 foot dock. Public boat launch down the street to launch all of your toys. Plenty of room to secure your boat on the dock. Canoe and Row boat included for use. Clear water - great swimming. Water depth at our shoreline increases gradually - good for children (we have 4, so its actively used!). Firm, clean bottom. If you like to fish there is good pan fish, bass, and pike fishing. A few walleyes are caught each year as well. If the fishing is tough, take a trip to downtown Gladwin and hit the trout pond! Light boat traffic except on holiday weekends. Our cottage was built in the 20s and was one of the original cabins on Pratt Lake. It has a full kitchen with granite and dishwasher with all of the pots/pan/cookware amenities, 1 full bath room with tile floor, a large living room, lodge style knotty pine walls. Dark bamboo hardwood floors. There are three queen beds along with one sleeper sofa. Very open kitchen/ dining/sun room view looks out over beautiful views of the Lake. Awesome sand bar to park your boat for a relaxing stop in the lake. Enjoy 1000s of acres of state land within miles of quiet paved roads ideal for cycling, ATV, hunting or walking. Canoe around the lake at dusk for great wildlife viewing. Look for our breeding pair of bald eagles or listen to the loons on early Pratt lake mornings. Look out at the point and you may see our local deer enjoying the water. Golfing within 10-15 minutes. 5 minutes to the public library. 6 miles to downtown Gladwin for shopping, 30 miles to Houghton Lake, Midland and West Branch. 2.5 hrs from both the greater Detroit and Grand Rapids suburbs. Excellent ice cream store with the Gladwin famous “Pigs Platter” within 4 miles that can’t be missed!

Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Lindsey W., Bay City, MI Jul 19, 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### We enjoyed the Red House on Pratt Lake. This is our third year staying at this cottage. We really enjoy staying on Pratt Lake. The lake is super clean and sandy bottom. We brought our Kayak and Paddleboard and were able to spend most of our days on the lake. The house has everything you need to cook as well as nice newer furniture in the front room. Some things that would help make this a five star house: New linens in the bathroom.. We had a hard time finding large enough towels for showering.. It is mostly beach towels and older smaller towels. This was our third year here, and since our last stay, I think the cleaning has gone down hill a bit. I am a bit of a clean freak and for the price, I expect to walk into a clean property. The floor in the bathroom didn't seem like it was washed before our arrival and the cabinets could use a good scrubbing, as well as where the trash can is stored.. I pulled the trash can out to avoid having to look at the mess under the sink. The cleaning crew also left some cans behind for us to take care of... We really do love this cabin and think families would enjoy it, but it would need a little TLC in the cleaning department before we would come back. ##### Lindsey W. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Sally N. Jun 26, 2018 #### The cabin was charming and quaint. My idea of what a cabin should be, however it was filthy. When we walked in the cabin, I noticed the chairs were turned over and on top of the dining room table. At first I thought the cleaning personnel must have forgotten to put them down after cleaning. Wrong!! The floors were covered in sand, dust and grass. My husband and I decided to clean before we ever brought anything in. I believe there were clean sheets on the bed and the bathroom didn’t appear to be too bad, but that was it. The kitchen was very dirty. The windows, appliances, cabinet fronts, sink and dish drainer looked like they hadn’t been touched in years. Inside the cabinets were cobwebs and crumbs. Even the grill had not been cleaned in a very long time. My daughter has bad allergies and had a rough time with the dust the couple of days she was there. I guess the final straw was when my daughter’s dog kept sniffing under the edge of the couch and when we moved it, we discovered a dried up piece of ham. We ended up leaving a day early. I did contact the owner when we got home and he said he would reimburse the cleaning fee. I would never rent this cabin again. ##### Sally N. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Jessica P. Aug 16, 2014 #### Nice comfortable cabin Cabin is pretty basic, owners description is spot on. Cabin was clean and had everything we needed (except food of course.) The lake was awesome and just as described. We didn't catch many fish, but I would think that is from the boat traffic on the lake which was fairly heavy during our stay. There is also great biking trails within 1 mile of the cabin. The reasons I only gave a 3 star rating are: The neighbors are very very close, (they are also the owners family and the weekend we were there they had a big crowd up, including lots of kids), pretty much you cannot have a conversation on the property without someone hearing you and you can also hear everyone else's conversation. So you can expect next to no privacy, which for some is no big deal but this weekend was mine and my husbands 1st solo vacation since we had a baby and we were looking for something a little quieter and with a little more privacy. Also the shower head is very low and you have to do weird backbends and what not to wash your hair, that wasn't much fun. The stove worked intermittently and is leaning to one side so some of our food cooked a little funny and the microwave is not usable (it sparks on the inside.) We couldn't use the outside gas grill either, there was still a lot of food "leavins" left on it and it had a funny smell, so we opted just to use our little charcoal grill we had brought with us. These were only all minor complaints and issues we had and overall we had a good time and enjoyed the cabin, even if we didn't exactly get the romantic getaway we were hoping for. The owner is super nice and was easy to work with. We will most likely not return just for the fact that the cabin is so close to the neighbors, that's just our personal preference though. ##### Jessica P. ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa P. Sep 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Pleasant place to stay The cottage is just as charming as described. It's clean and comfortable. Be aware that there is no air conditioning, but there are fans available. We used the deck often to eat, read, and relax. There is a griddle grill on the deck as well as a full-service kitchen. Bring all of your own ingredients if you plan to cook. There was a little salt, pepper, some sugar packets, and some coffee (but no filters) in the cupboards. We took the rowboat out a couple of times. The oars are very old and wobbly but we managed just fine. The lake was busy on Sunday but quiet the rest of our stay. I didn't swim because the bottom of the lake is mushy after you walk out a little bit and I don't like that feeling. The neighbors were extremely nice, and it was quiet at night except for the loons, which were a delight to hear. The owner was very responsive, especially when we lost power due a storm on Tuesday afternoon. He had some flashlights delivered to the cottage that evening. He was very understanding when we decided to leave one day early (Wednesday) since the power wasn't expected to be back on until that night and it's so inconvenient to have no water to flush the toilets. All in all, it's a pleasant place in a lovely location. ##### Lisa P. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lrb R.

The lake was are-able and my kid had a blast in the sand and beach water, but my kids (typically pool lovers) were not super willing to swim in the darker water. Still serene and pretty on the quiet lake. We did not have life jackets so did not do any boating. BYO lifejackets! House is charming, Had all we needed including ample towels. Cozy but spacious and bed were all very comfy! formcomfy! ##### Lrb R. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jim L.

We are a family of 5 with three little boys (3,6,8) Thos vacation home was the perfect get away from us! The boys had so much fun playing in the lake and fishing off the dock! We saw bald eagles everyday, the sound of the loons on the lake was enchanting and the tiny Minos in the lake were fun to chase! The property was well maintained and clean with comfy beds and couches! We will be looking into renting again in the future! ##### Erin B.

Everything we needed was there. Enjoyed the kayak and outdoor seating. ##### Matthew E. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly C. Aug 5, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect quick getaway This was a perfect quick getaway for me, my husband and our 3-year-old son. The house was comfortable for the three of us and they had the essentials we needed in the kitchen. I agree with another reviewer that more counter/storage space in the bathroom would be nice, but again, for a quick trip and only three of us, we managed just fine. I was slightly nervous that no A/C would be an issue, but with the ceiling fans and windows open, you really do get a nice breeze off the lake and it was very comfortable. The view of the lake and the beachfront were great! There were lots of beach toys for my son and the water was shallow enough and with a gradual drop-off for him to play all day! The canoe, row boat and kid kayak were a nice bonus for us to use. All-in-all it was a great Michigan summer getaway and would definitely come back! ##### Kelly C.
