Stumbled upon this place after some google searching and it was exactly what we were looking for. My husband and I went up to Alpena for a long weekend. The owners greeted us and were extremely nice and hospitable. They even gave us a bag of newspaper to use as fire starter. We stayed in the Villa but there are several other cabins on the property. It was dog friendly and there was a volleyball court and cornhole on site. Inside there was a full sized fridge, stove, microwave, and 2 double beds. You do have to bring your own bedding and towels but they have blankets and comforters. The place was clean and well taken care of. There was a stand up shower and the water does smell but I'm sure that's typical of the area. There is a small grocery store and bar within a 10 minute drive. Each cabin has a rowboat or you can rent a motor for it. There is also a fire pit with chairs that you can use and also a grill. One recommendation: bring toilet paper and dish soap/a sponge. They did provide one roll of toilet paper but that was it and there were pots and pans to use but nothing to clean them with. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and feel we got a lot of value for the money. Can't wait to come back! read more
