Excellent location on Long Lake and a short trip to the big lake and Alpena. Open floor plan was great and the kitchen was amazing. Firewood ready to go for the campfire and plenty of chairs for everyone. Everything went smoothly with directions and check in, wireless connectivity and working smart tv. A very nice experience!! Thank you!

This cottage on Long Lake was perfect for our little family (two adults and two small children) for our week long vacation. It is cozy, clean, well stocked, and in a great location. The inclusion of linens, towels, and a fully stocked kitchen was such a great thing for us. In addition to being just steps from Long Lake, it is also only 15-30 minutes from many fun spots to explore Lake Huron and do any shopping you may need. The homeowner was incredibly helpful, thorough, and prompt in his communications with us from trip preparation through our exit at the end of our time. We made lots of wonderful family memories here and would love to return again in the future.

A wonderful comfortable cabin by the lake.

From the moment we arrived, the cabin was welcoming - clean, organized, all the items we needed for cooking and serving, feel at home decor. A great set up outside, as well. The location is a nice short drive into Alpena and the surrounding area. A beautiful view across the lake, including a wonderful view of the sunrise. And nicely quiet. We highly recommend this rental. Great communication with the host (quick responses and wanted to make sure our stay went well). We will be talking about this trip for years to come and that is in great part to staying at this location.
Relaxing and comfortable for all.
Clear and clean water for those inclined to swim.
