Exit 222 #1 Sweet cottage retreat! lake/beach 3 blocks away.Trails 1/4th mile

We are located 15 to 20 miles from west branch, houghton lake and higgins lake. Lake Saint Helen is only 1/8th of a mile from the cottage an all sports lake with excellent fishing. We are about 1 mile from the orv trailhead. The town of st. Helen allows orv's on local roads as long as you have a sticker which can be purchased right in town. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. We don't mind if renters need extra room they may bring a tent. With permission. We do have wi-fi but no cable. The 2 public beaches are very nice, cove dr. Offers grills and basketball and volleyball. The kayak launch is at the public boat launch right next to the boat launch all are within walking distance from the cabin.
St. Helen and the surrounding areas have lots to offer including canoe trips in roscommon, you can also rent a pontoon on lake st. Helen at the marina. And if you like the trails St. Helen powersports and razr ripn rentals both offer sxs rentals for the day or weekends. There are tons of great thrift stores in houghton, roscommon and west branch.
We do have a fire pit and a grill on the property if you would like to have a cook out or enjoy the beautiful night sky. We have awesome night skys due to higher elevation which is perfect for star gazing.
This is a cozy little cabin perfect for a couple looking to unplug and enjoy nature.

The day of arrival I give info on entry and location of wifi password and our guest book with local restaurants and attractions that may be of interest.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker and a dining table.

Should’ve been on the titanic, would’ve had a better experience!

Should’ve been on the titanic, would’ve had a better experience! Worst professionalism, and public relations that I’ve ever experienced. No TV as in advertised even though streaming was a possibility if we would’ve paid for our own personal app. Not explained in any of the advertising. Owner offered no assistance. Even though she sent her boyfriend over who failed to get the TV’s Working. We left the afternoon of the first of two nights! Owner refused with rude remarks to offer not a single offer of any $$ refund! Strongly recommend you stay in a tent and not her cottage!

Very nice and clean overall. Would help if there was a phone number to communicate with the property owner when a question arises. Could not find the key. A description of the location was given on an e-mail but when I went back to retreive I couldn't find it. Eventually found the key so all was well.

Perfect overnight stay

We only stayed one night passing through but it was very clean and the owner communicated with us very well. We are familiar with the area so even though we didn’t have time to enjoy it, it is very close to the beach and boat launch.
