Beautiful cabin. Cleanest VRBO we have ever stayed at. Really loved this place. Wanted to stay at Avery Lake to bring my Father one more time before he passes. Owner was really flexible when he got hospitalized during our initial planned stay. Can not say enough good things. Only improvement I can think of is updating the listing to make it clear it’s located on a channel that goes out to the lake. We were a little anxious going because we weren’t 100% the channel connected until we got there.

As beautiful as the pics are, they really don't do it justice...this place is gorgeous! While there are neighbors on both sides, it is very quiet. The lake access was great! We rented a pontoon and went fishing daily. The house is spacious and well appointed and the attention to detail is amazing - they have really thought of everything you could possibly need for your stay! It was a fantastic family vacation. We hope to be able to visit again!

Had our annual family vacation with grandparents, 15 year old son, 11 year old daughter, hubby and myself. Had plenty of room for all of us and could have accommodated another couple. The house has everything you could want or need. The kitchen has been updated since the last pics and has a coffee pot with the K cups option which was super nice. The property is well stocked with dry wood for bonfires too! We enjoyed the games, ping pong, shuffleboard and darts downstairs. The true gem is the lake!! It is AMAZING!! The channel was quiet and great for kayaking. We loved the lake. It’s clean and has clear water. It doesn’t stink or feel icky like some of the inland lakes. We didn’t rent a pontoon and instead brought a fishing boat with us. We saw several big fish!! We plan to come back again next year and definitely will be renting a pontoon boat! Highly recommend this property!!!

Our best mancation ever

The furniture was comfortable, the rooms were large, the kitchen was well stocked with pans, silverware, and spices. Theres box fans in every bedroom, the air conditioning kept the house cool on the hottest days of the year. We played corn hole, fished, ping pong, watched some baseball and golfed every day. We are looking to come back next year.

Very quiet

Place was well cleaned and did have everything you could ask for. However, the yard was not mowed and the water pressure was terrible. The lake was not what I was expecting. You cannot get in the water by the cottage. You need to go out to the lake. We did enjoy our stay, just a few nit picking items

If you want to go to a relaxing, quiet and CLEAN place for a vacation this is it. We (my husband, daughter, son in law and our 2 grandsons 11&14) had the most fun. We were never board and the beautiful spacioue cabin had everything and I mean everything any of us needed and more. We pick a differnt cabin every year and we all agreed this was our favorite. Thank you to our host as well for their communication. Trust me, you're family will have a FABULOUS time!!

I have stayed in many VRBOs over the years and this home is the nicest appointed I have ever stayed at. It had all the little things that most VRBO renters don't think of or don't bother with that make a big difference in comfort and convenience. Great for families for a nice up north stay.

Relaxing

We had a wonderful stay! The well stocked home was perfectly clean and ready. The fish weren’t biting but the whole family had a fun time out on the lake. Campfires each night for s’mores or pie irons. We aren’t familiar with horses so we didn’t know the near by equestrian campground was going to be upset with our bike ride when we were off exploring! Oops! Won’t make that mistake again. Owners were great with communicating what we needed. Great place to stay!

Great Getaway Location

Had a wonderful time. Cabin is beautiful and was wonderfully decorated for Christmas. We were hoping to do more winter outdoors activities, but the weather did not cooperate. We did, however enjoy our time together playing games as a family and watching some Christmas movies. The cabin is definitely off the beaten path, but we loved the secluded little neighborhood. The cabin had wifi, but cell service in the area is very limited.

Truly a nature lover’s paradise

The house was lovely - clean, inviting, & well appointed especially in the kitchen. Plenty of outside space - perfect porch, fire pit, & small dock. Garage access was nice with dogs as a staging and clean up spot before entering the house. Nice walking/hiking options both around the small neighborhood and the vast trail system that is steps from the door which allows endless outdoor exploration. Good location for day trips - ~30 mins to Gaylord & under 1 hr to Mackinaw City/Island & Alpena. Lastly, but critical, the primary bed was comfortable. There was even a massive dog bed that our pups took full advantage of. All in all, the space felt like home.
