Accommodations were perfect for what we were there for. We were gone most of the day so didn’t get to enjoy the lake, but it was beautiful. Owners very personable, friendly and welcoming.

Charming quaint accommodations directly on beautiful Long Lake property. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Especially Eric. There is a delicious restaurant and ice cream shop on the property making it very convenient. There are chairs and a campfire pit near the lake. It was great at night. There are a couple of boat docks and swimmable water. I would highly recommend staying here.

They are cute little cottages on Long Lake north of Alpena. Very clean and friendly! Nothing fancy just simple way of life. You can bring your boat and dock it, fish and/or have a bonfire. 🔥

A hidden gold mine. Beautiful area. Quiet. The pet friendly cabins have an enclosed area for your pet. Easy to check in and check out. We will definitely return, it was central to going in any direction for points of interest. And the restaurant?! Absolutely amazing!

First time here. I will stay again. Very friendly owner helped get me settled in. Thanks, Eric! Not a fancy setting, but very clean and very comfortable. I wasn’t there when the restaurant was open so can’t review it. Good casual setting. Exactly what you want in a quiet cottage stay.

The cabins are adorable, and very clean. Staff is super friendly, and accommodating. Looking forward to booking time in the Summer, to enjoy the beach on the property and the Restaurant. I liked the privacy, and serenity taking my Mom break. Hoping to have my class reunion at The Parker, that would be a blast. Thank You The Parker! 😁

The room was spacious and clean. There was a large fridge and there was AC, so important in this heat spell. The bathroom is small, the toilet was the smallest you could get in that space and the shower was stained. There was no breakfast. The restaurant is only open 4 days a week, and there is no restaurant open close by for breakfast or lunch. There were no staff on site.

Cute place but when we got there my code did not work and there wasn’t a registration desk or a person working. Luckily, the restaurant chef came and helped get it straightened out by calling someone to get a new code. Did not like the aspect that there was no representative onsite. Was very clean.

Nice, clean, and private cottage. Only sad part was we never were able to try the restaurant because they never plowed/opened it. Not a good spot for on-site dining during the winter. Waterfront was also snowed-in and not plowed so we never got a good look at that either.

Nice enough setup for a summer getaway, not too far from alpena. Shower water made the whole room smell like rotten eggs which was somewhere between weird and concerning
