Sep 17, 2024 #### End of summer exploration Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is an old cabin and looks as such. It is clean- has the basic amenities and is a great peaceful location to explore the area. The dock is aged and the resident duck's use it quite a bit so not necessarily a barefoot beach dock area but the sunsets are wonderful and the water is nice once you het out a bit. ##### Carla D. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Anita S. Sep 11, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Not "NEW" The cabin is listed NEW in its title. It is far from new. Its not a bad cabin if you just want peace and quiet, but know there is not WIFI, TV's or AC. The cabin as a whole was clean but the sofa bed was DISCUSTING!! The lake was very peaceful!! DISDISCUSSING ##### Anita S. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 This review is from a guest who booked and stayed through a partner site and can't be verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie B. Aug 1, 2024 #### Perfect Up North Cabing Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I rented this cabin for a few days and loved it. We brought our dog, who had a great time in the shallow water in front of the cabin. There is no air conditioning, and it did get a little warm during the day, but the nights were fine. We had one box fan and there is a ceiling fan, but one more fan would have been nice. The cabin was clean and the location is great. There is a fire pit to have a bonfire, but we didn’t get the chance to use it. The roof is tin and when it rains, it’s quite loud, but I liked the noise. Overall a great find for northern Michigan! ##### Stephanie B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicole S. Aug 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great stay! Loved the quaint cabin and lake out front. North vacation was on top of communication. ##### Nicole S.
