Amazing Sunsets

We had a lovely stay in our cabin. Enjoyed the Sandy beach, campfires and quiet area but most of all the sunsets! The cabin was close to the state park. Lots to do in the area. Communication with Terri was great.

Nice stay

The cabin was clean but very old. The inside was clean but the outside (deck) was worn and needs attention. The location from the cabin to the beach was very good. However, I was disappointed with the beach. There was an attempt to clean it daily but it just didn't meet expectations for swimming. Fortunately the state park was very close by and swimming in Lake Huron was wonderful (there was even a beach for dogs). Sunsets from the cabin was just beautiful! There was a nice little party store on the property with things you may have forgotten and even ice cream! We did have a problem with check in (probably our fault) when we arrived but the property manager was quick to return our call and took care of the problem immediately.I would not hesitate to stay here if you have a pet that you would like to bring along. Overall, a very relaxing stay.

Little Hidden Treasure

Excellent communication with property manager. The little cabin was cozy and warm! It had everything we needed for a long weekend. Our cabin was right on the beach facing water so we weren't able to park next to cabin as soft sand was difficult to drive through, but we were given a head"s up ahead of time and made it work. Parked just a couple cabins over. Walked over to State Park, and not far from other activities!

Cute Cabin

We had a great time at the cabin! The bedding and towels were old but clean. The kitchen was perfect with the newer fridge and stove. If you’re visiting with a family, you may want to bring a larger pan to cook breakfasts, but otherwise it was equipped well! The beach was very busy with many other families. Bring your own beach chairs to sit by the water. Overall, we loved the cabin and location!

Nice beach cottage

Great location. Cottage was nice for beach access. It was a little uncomfortable however. One older sofa and no easy chairs. Beds were old, lumpy, springs exposed. Although marketed as 2 beds, which there were, they were both full size. My wife and I had to sleep separately. Kitchen and bath have been updated. They are small but nice.
