Michigan's largest inland lake beckons with sandy beaches, prime fishing spots, and lively summer events like Bud Bash. Rent a pontoon boat to explore hidden coves, or hit the nearby Roscommon Forest Area for scenic hiking trails and wildlife spotting.
Was a perfect spot for our night away! Warm, welcome and comfortable. Owner was responsive and quick to resolve a small issue we had with the toilet.
Shower was a bit small and a challenge for anyone tall but otherwise a great place.

We loved the retro vibe and clean space. Self-check-in and communication with the hosts were simple and friendly. We were in town for a wedding, so we fought over the single small mirror getting ready, but overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The rooms have direct doors to the outside.
My room had a nice kitchenette with a proper fridge all at a very reasonable rate.
TV channel selection excellent.
Great airing for dogs in the back.
I'd go back in a heartbeat
