Lakefront cottage, construction 2023, with 300 ft private beach on Lake Huron

Lakefront cottage, construction 2023, with 300 ft private beach on Lake Huron

10/10 Excellent
"Everything about Marina’s Lake Cabin far exceeded our expectations! The modern open concept layout, nice sized rooms, cathedral ceilings and everything on one floor made it feel very spacious. Everything was relatively new and clean and good quality. The primary bedroom with its en-suite made the difference for our family needs. Having two bathrooms was a real plus. The softened water and RO for drinking water was helpful. The propane grill and tools worked great each night for dinner. Outside was private enough, not right next to other cabins, and the beach was only a few steps out the front door. We especially loved walking along the beach, finding many Petosky stones, watching the evening sunsets, paddling the kayak along the shore, and making s’mores in the fire pit. We thoroughly enjoyed our time exploring the Alpena area and taking advantage of the beach and the grounds. Our hosts Marina and Sergey were helpful and timely with all their communications and made our stay a wonderful experience! Thanks!"
