Greg and Katie were the best hosts! The property is the best we have ever stayed at because we treasure privacy and nature. You can't see or hear any other properties --you're deep in the Northwoods. We saw Trumpeter Swans, beaver, an eagle, and caught 50 to 60 large and smallmouth bass, one being 19 inches long!We also drove our 4x4 on most of the 20 to 30 (My estimate) miles of on-property atv trails.

I liked this place. I could tell the builder was in love with the amazing location and the cabin is very beautiful. The lake is stunning and the fishing is good. I think I was just a little disillusioned because for the price and description I expected it to be private...the 640 acres of nobody else around. I was a little unprepared for the owners house to be right down the road and visible from the lake and dock of the cabin. The description talks about the miles of trails to explore, but we were informed that they had not been maintained in a while and it was obvious. The whole property is very overgrown and the maintenance is not as it looks in the pictures. I was looking forward to hiking and exploring. There is a pontoon boat which we paid to use, but it was not in good shape, the anchor does not keep the boat from drifting, and the small motor does everything in reverse and is not powerful enough to get you across the lake if there is any wind at all. Like I said, for the price, I expected it to be clean. There were dirty dishes and cracked glasses in the cabinet and dead bugs in the light fixtures. No pot holders and only half a roll of paper towels for a 5 day stay. If it were advertised as a bare bones experience I would have come better prepared. That said, we managed to enjoy our stay. The architecture of the cabin is amazing, the bed was comfortable, the view is amazing, and the lake is stunning.

Pictures do not do it justice! Place is beautiful. Fishing was top-notch. We rented a mule and a pontoon — both were a blast. And huge shoutout to Greg and Katie, the awesome hosts who made it all even better! The lake has its own bald eagle, and a beaver our niece proudly named Fernando and Bernard. Truly and experience we will not forget.

We had a wonderful trip and truly enjoyed this property! It was a real treat to have our own private lake, and we could watch the fish jump, the busy beavers hard at work and the bald eagles looking for dinner. The hosts were exceptionally accommodating and very quick to respond to all our requests. We hope to stay again in the not too distant future!

Gorgeous seclusion!

This place is special. As described, it is beautifully situated on a private lake deep in the countryside of Michigan’s upper peninsula, while offering every comfort of home. We took full advantage of the fire pit, lake view, and the trails. Our host was very responsive when we had questions. The ONLY reason I have it 4 stars in “cleanliness”is due to flies, which is to be expected in a wooded setting.

Perfect Birthday getaway

A group of us went to celebrate a 40th birthday. This place was everything we were looking for. It was very secluded with no neighbors in sight! There were 11 of us and 2 dogs. We did a lot of fishing and paddle boarding (the boat and 2 paddle boards were provided at no extra cost!). Being from the city we all really enjoyed star gazing and we all saw shooting stars. The house was clean, the kitchen was well stocked and there was laundry on site. 10/10 would recommend staying here and we hope to rent this place again. Host was very responsive and readily answered all of our questions. Major plus for being a pet friendly property

Can't beat the privacy

Nothing but great things to say about the location and property. We came up in the summer and had so much fun enjoying the lake. The owner was gracious and communicated extremely well with all of our questions. I do wish that the beach area had a little bit more care put into it and the deck has some alarmingly large gaps for small children feet and pets. We will definitely come back to get off the grid again though!

Memorial in Trembath

Trembath Lake was a beautiful place to stay. Our trip had a purpose...to memorialize a loved one taken way too soon. The privacy of 640 acres was wonderful along with having a private lake to fish. The house was very roomy and was very comfortable even during the lulls of our trip. The house was well stocked and make the trip even easier on us. With so many windows, the house cools down very fast at night despite no AC. We were very comfortable and felt right at home. Watching the beavers leave and enter their dam was one of the highlights of our stay. Never thought we would enjoy having a rainy day either! The only downside was the trails being very over grown so it wasnt an option for us at that time. Wish we had been there long enough to figure out the secret to catching more fish. Other than that, we would heavily recommend Trembath Lake for a private stay away from the craziness of day to day.
