Just what we were looking for our extended family.

The cabin, amenities were as described, with plenty of space and comfortable beds. We were in a great spot for our day trips, Mackinac Island, Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes and Gaylord. We did not use the lake, since we were more focused on our day trips. Enjoyed our stay and would rent again.
