A great place for family.

We absolutely loved our visit. It was a beautiful home and there was plenty to do. We enjoyed the campfires, fishing and playing pool. There was also plenty of room inside the house for any rainy days. We absolutely loved our stay and we will be going back.

Beautiful! Tranquil! Welcoming!

Beautiful location with lots of acreage for exploration. My family and I truly enjoyed the well appointed home and all of the fantastic amenities like the pool table, fire pit, grill, kayaks, and paddle boat. Also, there is lots to see in Rogers City, Alpena, and the local sink holes in the area are cool to explore. We plan on returning to this amazing place!

Best Family Vacation Ever!

The house fit our family perfectly! The adults had private space and all the kids hung out together. The deck was fantastic, as was the lake and river access. The house was clean, well stocked, and the manager was very responsive to the one need we had. We would definitely stay again!

Awesome cabin

This cabin was perfect for our mother's 50th birthday family get together. It was a beautiful location, that had great views and a great sense of privacy. We were concerned about connection issues and wifi, but had no issues at the property. Would definitely come here again, it was a great spot for fishing, and just a great place to relax.

Family Trip

This is my third time staying here. The past two times were with my sisters and friends, so I decided to bring my own family. We had an amazing week. The property is beautiful, serene and very relaxing. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and not being on top of each. They liked it so much that we booked again for next year.

Best place for family fun and relaxation

Exceptionally clean, well thought out and best place I have ever rented! Tammy brings her A game! My grandsons love to fish and there’s plenty of places right on property to do so! Kayaking, paddle boating and canoeing also on the water! The river is amazing right out the back door! Large fire pit to tell tall tales around and great pool table to test your skills at! LOVED this cabin and hope to return soon!

Remote Family Getaway

Great cabin located on a massive property. Check-in was simple and communication with the property manager was easy. Cabin was clean and well-stocked for cooking. Outdoor kitchen was a big plus. Our group caught over a dozen varieties of fish in the river. Gentle waters for canoe and kayak outings. Plenty of wildlife in the area for viewing while on the water or walking the trials. Great for families with children who like to explore the outdoors. Overall a great stay that I would recommend to anyone!

Relaxing multi-family getaway

We had three middle-aged siblings, their spouses, and mostly young adult children/cousins (17-26, one 13 year old), totaling 11. The house is beautiful, large fully equipped kitchen with many nice-to-haves in addition to the basics like insulated coffee carafe, muffin tin, etc, and a second fridge in the entry way! Beds were comfortable, rooms were a little tight for the number of young adults (they were all in the bunk beds/sofa bed, probably would have been better for three or fewer couples with younger kids, but worked fine for our group -- 13 can definitely be accommodated but ideally 5-7 of those are 15 and under). Bathrooms were clean and plentiful. Shared spaces -- living room w/TV, big table to gather round next to open plan kitchen, pool table area, porch balcony -- were all comfortable and spacious. Outdoor grill and fire pit area was amazing, as was the view of wildflowers, birds, deer, kayaking on the river and walking in the woods, stargazing. Also loved hearing about the local specialty butchers in Rogers City and Alpena -- Plath's smoked pork chops were AMAZING. Cell service was spotty at best, but WiFi was great. Highly recommend.

Great place for a vacation with extended family

I was there with my three adult children and their families. The grandkids range in age from 8-23. There was plenty of space and something for everyone- canoeing and kayaking; hiking; playing in the woods; large de k and fire pit. We took a couple day trips and spent the remainder of our time at the cabin. It was tons of fun- everyone loved it.

Perfect if looking to get off the grid w/ family and/or friends.

Great common spaces. Nice privacy. Access to river and views are awesome. Kitchen had everything we needed. Only advice for others to keep in mind (beyond listing) is 1) pay attention to beds as listed -- not pictures, 2) there is NO cable TV, but they did have a nice DVD selection, and 3) this is in the middle of nowhere so fill up your tank with gas and bring your own food :). I highly recommend for family gatherings.

Everything all in one place!

This is the second year in a row that we rented this cabin. There are 12 of us in my extended family and this place is perfect for our group. Five kids between the ages of 10-16 and they all enjoy fishing, kayaking and canoeing. What we appreciate the most from this cabin is that the kids can go have their fun and we can watch them from the deck (the adults enjoy the water also, but not as long as the kids do). Plus we don’t have to drive anywhere, or walk more than 100 yards to get to the pond dock or river. The river is pretty much closed off at both ends so it is almost like we have our own private river (although other properties can definitely access it). We all appreciate the peace and quiet that this cabin offers, and the cabin and property are well kept and in great condition. We are already talking about going back again next year!

Fantastic Property

Our family enjoys getting away after Christmas to relax and enjoy each other. The proprty was the perfect place for our trip. The interior was well maintained and very clean. The kitchen was spacious and well provisioned, the bedrooms were very nice and comfortable and we played many pool tournaments on the pool table in the loft. The hostess was very communicative on check in day and made sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.
