We had an absolutely amazing stay and would recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway! The cabin was spotless when we arrived, and the beds were so comfortable that everyone slept great. One of my favorite things was they had a rocking chair and I got to enjoy the view while rocking my youngest and saying "we truly needed this".The location was perfect. The private lake behind the cabin was one of our favorite parts of the trip. The fishing was incredible—we caught some of the biggest fish we've ever caught! There are also miles of nearby trails to explore, making it easy to enjoy the outdoors.If you're expecting a cabin that's completely isolated, just know there are two other homes nearby—but they're the owners' homes. They are incredibly respectful of your privacy and never bothered us. We still felt like we had our own private retreat, while knowing help was close by if we needed anything. It was the best of both worlds.The cabin is also in a fantastic location for day trips. We visited Mackinac Island, Tahquamenon Falls, the Mackinac Bridge, and Castle Rock, all within about an hour to an hour and a half . Gaylord is also close by and has plenty of great restaurants, so there was always something fun to do.When we asked our kids to rate the vacation, every one of them gave it a 10 out of 10! It was the perfect place to reconnect as a family, get outside, unplug from electronics, and make memories we'll always cherish. We can't wait to come back!

We stayed there for 2 nights. The back room had many mini holes in the ceiling. The room was cold;Kids found spiders on bed; mice poop in the drawers; kitchen was so unorganized. There were limited areas for dogs going out potty.

rustic cabin in nature

Our stay was both really peaceful and invigorating to be immersed in so much nature. I loved the hiking trails on the property and rowing on the lake. The local area has a lot of outdoor activities to offer and Rokko's cabin was a great place to stay.

We stayed over the New Year. Beautiful place to stay. Great view of the lake. The owner gave us very easy directions to follow to get there. Very quiet and cozy place to stay. Not to mention New Year's Eve it snowed maybe over 5 inches which was amazing.

Relaxing!

Great location. We spent a fun week at this lakeside cabin. We enjoyed the water, the fishing, and the trails. The owner and his family were very nice. The cabin did have a lot of spiders, which our girls didn't like.
