Great place for a family getaway

Beautiful home that was well decorated for the holiday season. Plenty of space for an extended family of 18. Cleanliness was 10/10. Driveway was plowed and salted which was a great peace of mind with the winter weather. Would highly recommend. Hours of fun and laughter to be had in the many spaces.

We were a group of 12 (10 adults and two kids under 3) and fit comfortably at the property. Everything was as advertised in the property description except for the water access since the stars down to river were roped off. We'd stay again!

Perfect Wedding Weekend!

We stayed here for our intimate wedding with just siblings & parents. It was absolutely gorgeous & worked perfectly for a venue. The property manager was very quick to respond to questions and the house was extremely clean! The hot tub was perfect! The stairs to the river are currently broken so they are taped off but we didn’t mind.

Disappointing experience

We rented this property with high hopes, but unfortunately, we left disappointed due to a few issues. Firstly, there were no working smoke detectors in the home, which is a major safety concern and a non-negotiable for me. Secondly, the hot tub was in terrible condition – the water looked green and filthy.For future guests, I hope these important matters are taken seriously and fixed promptly. It’s a shame because the location and overall layout of the home were nice, but safety and cleanliness should always come first.

Guys Trip

We had 12 guys come up to play golf by the cabin. The house had great location with many resources nearby. House setup was wonderful and gave many options for us to entertain ourselves. Front yard was great for yard games and the back deck gave great views of the forest/river.

Overall a great stay in a beautiful home.

Nonstick cookware was scratched up. Lots of cooking utensils provided. Corn kernals found in one bed, pinecones found in another. Plenty of towels provided, but could use more wash cloths. Night stand in master bedroom unstable. Liggts are dim, could use more/brighter lighting. Directions to home via Google Maps are about 1/2 mile off. Overall a beautiful home. Host very responsive to messages.

Gorgeous Log Cabin

The property is absolutely beautiful. 5 stars for sure. We had 18 men here for an ice fishing event nearby. There is a lot of space and activities for the group in the house. My only advice for other large groups like mine would be to carpool. We had a lot of trucks and parking had to be carefully planned. The Host was awesome and communicated very fast to questions. Enjoy this cabin in the woods.

Family outing

The property was nice. There were a few things that were run down. Screens on windows needed to be fixed, the hot tub not usable because of lack of maintenance, stairs to the river were broke, you could not make it to the river. We had 17 people, and the place was large enough so we did not feel cramped. Beautiful inside if you like the cabin feel.

Family vacation

Home was roomie enough to sleep 4 family's with kids ranging 4 to19 years old. We all had fun playing pool, pin pong, karaoke, and playing in river. (Steps were kind of sketchy, but was told they are supposed to be repaired in August.) The guys fished a local lake and caught some nice bass and blue gill. Kenan answered any questions in a timely fashioned.

Nice Log Home

We had 15 adults and 2 littles. The bunk beds are not really built for adults, so we had to figure out sleeping. The hot tub was enjoyed by many, and the game room area was filled with laughter during big thunderstorms. We did not find the chickens or ducks, and the chiminea and steps down to the river are gone, but overall we enjoyed our stay. Also, we found Kenan is very responsive!

Exceeded our expectations!

This property exceeded our expectations in many ways. Its situated in a quiet, secluded area by a small river yet not too far away from Gladwin where you can get anything you want. The cabin was clean and stocked with all of the essentials we needed and more! My friends had a great time in the game room playing pool and ping pong and outside, the kids had a great time playing in the lawn. Plenty of parking space as well. The owner was very communicative and helpful before, during and after our stay. He was always reachable when we had questions and even shipped (at his own cost) something we left behind at the cabin. Much appreciated!! Overall, we had a great stay and wish we could have stayed longer and explored a bit more of the outdoors :-)

Would avoid

Place itself was nice and in a nice area, got to the house and there was garbage stacked in the garage, open alcohol containers around the property, and a green hot tub. Aside from the dirty house i was sent a screen shot of a internet speed of about 500mb, me and my friends are gamers and were happy about it. I got there and it was 5mb without the ability to even stream netflix. He gave me a 1 night refund my troubles, id avoid the property.
