Weekend get away

The cabin was cute and had everything we needed. Its location was perfect for us to go float on the Au Sable for the day. It was quiet and the lake was beautiful.

We loved our stay at this cottage. Great access to a lot of atv trails, which was our activity while staying. The cottage was quaint, vintage, clean, and cozy. We loved the woodstove and fire place for when we came back from chilly rides. Tim was an excellent host and friendly. He went above and beyond helping to solve a small issue. Due to a breakdown we were not able to ride much of what we wanted so plan to come to the area again and will definately stay here!

Cottage was super cozy. Very accommodating. The neighbors were extremely friendly. Even though we ended up with a pretty chilly memorial weekend, it was super nice with bonfire and warm cottage. Ample parking and roads straight to trails and clear lake party store/bar/gas station to just jump in machine and take a quick ride to get last minute essentials. Will definitely love to book again!! And bonus had a land line that was helpful if we lost reception.
